How does one move forward when those who have left you or faded out from you have seemed to move so far forward? How do they do it? How do you move forward when those who have hurt you seem to be so happy,or at least act it? When everyone has moved forward,what is wrong with you,that you feel so behind? All I can say is the answer to it is to move forward,some how..go anywhere. Find something to dive into. Maybe what I really want is to fall in love again,a love so deep,it makes me believe in love again. A love that saves me and heals me again. A love that makes me understand again. I have been constantly thinking about running away lately. Doing something crazy. But,at least i'm finally moving forward I think. Making moves. And,this will be my year. I won't say these past months is the deepest pain,but it's a very triggering pain that makes me want to transform it into something amazing unlike anything before for my life.

I just don't understand what's wrong with me that it seems everyone moves so far forward,and I somehow seem so left behind. I consider myself someone with a lot of positive attributes,and a lot going for me. I'm so particular,and others seem to care less. But,maybe that is the key. To just do it. Do anything.Sometimes all we can do is just trust a little. Trust it'll all work out. That'll be ok. That you can trust this person with that. That your not so bad as you think. What else can you do? But,let go and little...and take a step. The way forward is the way to healing.

I just needed to vent. I feel so entirely insecure.

Stop thinking about other people and assessing the progress they are making in life. You are wasting your mental energy.

Ask yourself: "What are my responsibilities and what do I need to do to take care if them?" Then ask: "What are my rights and how do I start to enjoy them?"
Thanks for this!

I think that we need to feel whole within ourselves. If we look for others to heal us, to save us, we are just setting ourselves up for disappointment.

Sounds like you already have what it takes to move on. You still have hope in love, faith in yourself and the goodness of life. You just need to quit comparing yourself to others. Looks can be deceiving. Just take one step at a time. You'll get there at your own pace.

I think you are on the right . Stop thinking and just do from moment to moment those things that you want to do that are most helpful to you.

I know. i have a bad habit of comparing myself to others. But,2015 was brutal and backtracked me quite a bit. I do have a bad habit of staying stuck too long when things bring me down.
Thanks for this!

Yes,and my motivation is strong. I've had quite a bit of forward momentum since January and know it'll only get better.

I believe you need more confidence in you. I believe that confidence is a key to life! When you have confidence you can make decisions on getting a gf/bf, applying for a good job, setting goals maybe for college, starting a buisness, comparing yourself with other people, and so much more. friends you name it. Start building your self-esteem! what your worth is! and good things will come!
Thanks for this!
