For me, I had a 180 degree turn around about the age of 50. I used to be all about money, getting ahead, working insane hours, then I had gall bladder cancer and then after that a nasty car crash. Both of these situations completely slapped me in the face, and I asked myself, "what in the hell am I thinking?" I slowed down, started to spend time and energy helping and thinking of others, did not care about "climbing the corporate ladder" anymore, and enjoying a beautiful sunrise and/or a sunset.
With my BPD, I cannot stand to be alone that is where all the awesome souls on SS come into play for me, I have goals, even at my age, but my goals now are instead it being about me it is about everyone. I dislike ego, greed, backstabbing just to get ahead and for what?
With the addition of SS in my life, and my new position, I like working and keeping my mind busy, I have found joy now, at least sometimes.
With all of this said, I have @Weebster in my thoughts, as I hope that you have a great upcoming weekend and can find the time to watch a beautiful sunset.
All my best with huge hugs and tons of caring for each and every member here on SS, as everyone helps me so darn much each and every day feel loved and cared about, and I hope that in some small way I can do the same back to everyone here.
