I can utterly relate to the first easy/hard point that you made. My first thought is always that I’m deficient in some way or another.

Easy: chatting about school issues
Hard: censoring myself about things I really shouldn’t mention

I totally get you on this one! When did everyone decide to get married? Lame, I hate being old.

Easy: Purchasing a plane ticket online.
Hard: Waiting three months for your departure date.

Easy: Being in love.
Hard: Being in love despite that fact that he wears his shoes in the bedroom and clips his nails in the living room.

Easy: Missing people.
Hard: Showing them how much you miss them.

Easy: Moving across the country.
Hard: Having family in your new city who don’t really seem to care that you are there.

I’m with you on the blogging for yourself/comment issue. It’s a constant struggle for many blgogers I think! I have to remember that the amount of comments is not truly representative of the readership. I think that is very true in your case!

Easy: Taking a waitressing job to pay the bills and stop being a leech on the unemployment system.

Hard: NOT spinning into an abyss of negativity imagining everything that could go wrong, which is why I got out of the service industry in the first place…
