A healthy dose of EGO

Andy Young1 Comment

What are 3 traits I love about yourself? describe them in detail.

That’s like the biggest ego massage of a question, what happens if you don’t love yourself, have no redeeming qualities and generally suck? … self-esteem issues, me? No. Of course not.

Kindness
I will find all ways of pleasing someone in as much capacity as possible. Whether it’s giving something back to the homeless or picking up sweets randomly for the kids. Apparently, I do this to a fault. People become accustomed to this treatment and I end up not enjoying it any more which sucks. But before that, it makes me insanely happy to see someone else being happy because of my small gesture. Skin-tingly nice feelings.

Loyalty
From keeping a secret about a boy you like or that suspicious new flower bed in the garden. You can count on me to keep you loyal. I don’t think I have ever jumped ship on anyone and pretty much all my friends will have me fighting in their corners Hell I spent three years of uni looking after my drunken breather and got them home safe each night. Do you want to take on an army? O’ll be stood side by side with you facing impossible odds. Whatever it takes.

Is It bad that I can only think of two traits? The rest in my mind are terrible when I think about them. Negative traits I could talk about in another post.

Short Story: about dreams

Andy YoungLeave a comment

I’ve always been a dreamer. I love to lose myself in my dreams, to escape from the everyday world and into a world of my own creation.

In my dreams, I can be anything I want to be. I can fly, I can travel to faraway lands, I can meet amazing people. I can do anything my heart desires.

Dreams are a great way to escape from the stresses of everyday life. They can be a place where you can let go of your worries and just be yourself.

Sometimes, I use my dreams to escape from difficult situations in my waking life. If I’m going through a tough time, I can dream about a better future. I can dream about being happy and successful.

Dreams can also be a way to explore your subconscious mind. They can reveal your hidden desires and fears. By understanding your dreams, you can learn more about yourself and how to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Short Story: about passion

I’ve been dancing since I was a little boy. I remember the first time I saw a tango couple perform, I was mesmerized. The way they moved together was so passionate and intense, and I knew that I had to learn how to do it.

I started taking tango lessons, and I quickly fell in love with the art form. I loved the way it made me feel. When I was tangoing, I felt like I was in a different world. I felt alive and connected to my partner.

As I got older, I started exploring other forms of dance, like waltz, foxtrot, and swing. But tango always remained my favorite. There’s just something about the way it combines passion, intensity, and sensuality that I find incredibly appealing.

Tango has become a passion for me. It’s more than just a hobby or a form of exercise. It’s a way of life. It’s my way of connecting with my body, my partner, and the world around me.

I’m so grateful that I found tango. It’s given me so much joy and fulfillment. It’s made me a stronger person, both physically and mentally. And it’s helped me to find my voice.

I know that there are some people who think that tango is only for couples. But I want to tell those people that they’re wrong. Tango is for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female, young or old, tall or short. If you have a passion for tango, then you should go for it.

Short Story: About happiness

The sun was shining brightly as I walked down the street, feeling happier than I had in a long time. I had just gotten a promotion at work, and I was finally going to be able to afford my dream car. I was so excited that I could barely contain myself.

I decided to go for a walk to clear my head and celebrate. As I walked, I thought about all the things that were making me happy. I had a great job, a loving family, and a few close friends. I was healthy and had everything I needed.

I stopped to sit on a bench and take in the view. The park was full of people enjoying the beautiful day. There were couples walking hand-in-hand, children playing on the swings, and dogs running around. I smiled as I watched them all.

I realized that happiness is all around us. It’s in the simple things, like a sunny day or a warm hug. It’s in the people we love and the things we’re passionate about. It’s in the moments that make us feel alive.

I took a deep breath and savored the feeling of happiness. I knew that this was just one of many highs that I would experience in my life. And I couldn’t wait to see what the future held.

I will be 40 in a few months and it feels like I should be thinking about the future. About what I want out of life, what I want to do with life, and how to exist. Should I retrain into a new profession, or should I stop the charity work for paid work? What lessons can I teach my son, what experiences have they had? They are growing up now too. B is going to be 12 and R is 13! The things they like are so different now and I think I miss them being small. I never thought that, I always wished they would be teenagers and sleep all the time but now I miss them. What is life like, post-kids? we want to buy a house but struggling with the deposit. The price here in Manchester is crazy so we are looking at Scotland near Saltcoats. Cheaper and bigger houses just be a shame to move the kids while they are in school still.

Trying to figure out if this is a midlife crisis where I miss everything, want to change and try new things and explore the world more. I was very lucky when I was young as my parents took us on trips around the world, going to different places. I thought I would have found my place in the world by now.

D is taking the kids on holiday. B first to Germany for a few days and then probably Spain with S. I will be at home for both trips, staying with the dogs, and because I trigger B. Dont know what to say about that really.
