Sorry for the late reply. I hope the words were able to help a bit… Check out this post also, really inspired me yesterday http://www.thebrokenheeldiaries.com/2009/11/04/inspiring-words-from-will-smith/ . Hope I can help, thank you for sharing with us, you are welcome anytime.

things have been crazy. hadnt had a chance to come back on here until now. thank you and Sikk for sharing those words. it def is something we forget to do. i believe its human nature to dwell on the negatives and we lose focus of all the positives. as for my problems at home *sigh* im at a loss girl. im 27 going on 60. i know that the lack of time to take care of me is a big problem for me. but thats just it…its a problem for ME. nobody gets it so nobody helps me have that time. as much as i appreciate not having to cook a meal or having less clothes to wash when my mom helps me out, its not quite what i need. its really shitty when u lose ur sense of being a woman. being sexy and feeling beautiful. no time. never any time. anyways thats my little rant for today. thank you for taking the time to read them and reply =) something so small means a great deal

How are you holding up girl. I am taking it day by day, one of our readers Sikk posted something below that I found interesting that I will share with you, she wrote “Everytime I feel unappreciated, I look back to the good things Ive done,people I touched, things I’ve learned from my failures and mistakes and I congratulate myself, since no1 else does it. Do it for yourself. Haha! Bravo Me. Bravo You. We Deserve it! That’s life..”
That is such an integral step that I often forget to take. With work I would say, just like my post today rather than complaining about it I noticed that I could always improve my craft, regardless of whether or not others appreciated my worth. Based on the 10,000 hour rule by Malcolm Gladwell I have realized that I nearly close to being an expert at what I do. As for the situation you are going through at home, I think you need to find a way to make time for yourself. You have to by all means, set some time aside to do you. Have you ever tried to do that? Maybe starting once a week or when permissable. It is important to guard your self-esteem with all you have, because it is all you have. Once you have lost that, you won’t be much good to anyone.
Let me know how things are going lady, I am here if you need me.

And I used to feel like, people didnt recognize the hard work behind everything I’ve done, I used to feel unappreciated..and what I’ve learned from this is that, I made these choices. I chose this lifestyle, I dont think I’ve chose to live with such stress..but it came with the choices I made. So for me to feel unappreciated is normal..but I had to accept the fact that, no1 lives for me. I had to become my own best friend to congratulate the work that I did.. I had to look back to my accomplishments and be proud of what I’ve done, I touched people..so yeah I did the right thing..I deserved the love.
Its nothing selfish to feel like you need attention, to be recognize,it’s human, it’s normal..we work hard for our dreams to come true, so YEAH we wanna have the love we need to pursuit them.

Everytime I feel unappreciated, I look back to the good things Ive done,people I touched, things I’ve learned from my failures and mistakes and I congratulate myself, since no1 else does it. Do it for yourself. Haha!
Bravo Me. Bravo You. We Deserve it! That’s life..
