No, I did not.
Have been through a lot, was raised in society. Married badly. Had brain surgery, was in a drug induced coma for 4 years! Unable to Throw my child his 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th birthday party.
Have a degree can't use it b/c I am disabled.
Went through Katrina lost everything. Thought I would be "successful"! In my career, in my parenting, home schooling etc.
However, now my definition of success has changed! If I can find someone who loves me for me(and I think I have), and I can love them, then all those career minded dreams that I had really won't matter that much..
I now believe success if waking up every morning and trying my best to love the man of my life with every fiber in my body and take excellent care of my child.
Guess I have changed through all of this, and hopefully for the better! Hopefully I have learned that success is not about money, but about love, love of self as you are, and your husband and child, with all of your heart. You learn to forgive more easily, love with all of your heart, accept people for who they are, and most importantly not worry what everyone else thinks about you, only the people that are the nearest and deareat to your heart matter.
If I am successful at loving this genteman and making him feel like the king of the world, or my world, and helping my child overcome all of the advesities he has had to face, at the end I will believe I have had a truly successful life.
I wish one for you as well and a time to say, wow! I did not know Christmas was this wonderful. You deserve to be loved and cherished and I hope that you are!

Yes, I like the way I am now. I turned out to be a person who genuinely cares for people in spite of the hateful ones. I grew up with very little self- esteem because I didn't get too much positive reinforcement as a child. When I got older and people gave me compliments, I had to learn to accept them and not make excuses for not accepting them. In other words, I had to learn to love myself. I love myself and I try to show love to others as well.
I didn't know that I would turn out this way. Then, my life was such a mystery. Now, that I look back, it really wasn't. I just didn't know where to look.

Yes I do, I`ve mellowed, I`m broad minded, I care about others. I`m no longer `angry with the world`, I`m tolerant and I have a fantastic sense of humour and laugh a lot. No I didn`t think I would be this way, when I was in my teens and twenties I was a real `know it all smarty-pants` and quite selfish and self centred, although I didn`t realise it at the time. I am glad I changed, I like being me.

I like myself the way I am. Because if I wasn't this way, that I would not really be me.
However, I'm in grade 10 - and a lot has changed... my group of friends changed significantly in grade 8 - and it was for the better.
I think if I had still been with my original group of friends, I would not be liking myself right now because I would have been a superficial, not to mention materialistic ditz of a girl.
But I'm not, so I think based on your peers is how you will turn out.
Not always true, but most of the time you choose your friends because of similar interests right?

i just quit being a nurse after 15 years of working in hospitals,
and now i am stocking groceries at night at a store, just for a change. it's alot less money. and alot more physical.I never in my life thought i would be doing this at age 36.
but i am happier right now than i have been in the past 3 years.
i thhink if i had to watch another person fade away and die, that i would have lost my mind.
although i do intend to go back to nursing, just not for a little while.
so yes, i am liking myself just fine!!
i am doing more with my kids and more around the house then i ever could do with the 7p to 7a job at the hospital, andwe are really connecting and having alot of fun together

Yes I do. I believe I am a kind, caring, genuine and pleasant person and a very good friend. I don't think I gave much thought to how I would 'turn out' to be honest - I just did!

I love myself as I am now and after going through terrible experiences, then having my son, I became stronger....I began furthering my education, excelling in everything I did (and still do) I just became a better person all around. I left myself no other options...I have to set a good example for him. Period. So in a sense, after having him, I knew I would be as successful as I am today.

Pretty much, and pretty much as I recall thinking about it at age eight ( except for children which I didn't think of then and turned out better than I could have imagined ).

I love myself. I never thought I would turn out this way, but I knew I was going to be crazy about makeup and boys.
