Fulfillment for Thyself

Life is an amazing roller coaster filled with laughs, cries, love, failures, happiness, etc. Family, friends, and that significant other can make your schedule wish there were more hours during the day or week! From work, school, fun parties and BBQ's to long weekends at the beach....

But I have to admit that time for myself is so fulfilling. It's best to take advantage of "ME" time. I understand this is a luxury for those who have children or work a hectic 80-hour week, but the feeling...aahhhhh it is so invigorating!!

For example, today I picked up my Caddy from my bro and for weeks of pondering whether to sell it or not, a certain used-car retailer company tells me that it isn't even worth it. I walked away so bummed cuz I want to just get rid of it!

Then I end up taking the wrong exit on my way home only to find out that I'm headed to one of my fave local spots, The Rio. I went for a stroll and had dinner @ Rio Grande/Don Julio's. I hadn't been back in awhile, but it was nice to treat myself to some delicious tacos!

There are some people who can't go out alone because then you'll be viewed as a loner, right? Wrong!! Because after you reach that turning point in your life (for me it was @ 19), then you begin to realize what matters most. And it isn't the flakes who calls once in a blue moon to hang out and listen to her/him unravel their pile of sh*t on you or use you for obvious reasons....

At one point in life we all have to grow up. I feel I'm way beyond that because looking at the reflection of my face in my old woman car, I see a beautiful person who seeks meaningful friendships and requires only simple things in life.

Fulfillment for Thy Self .... what does it mean to you???
