    No.  I have trouble with making it as easy as possible.  Since I crave a dramaless life, I seldom get what I crave.

    But that is because I want to do as little as possible.  It never works out for me.

    I don't know, seems to me you're on an upswing.   ;-)

    You know very little about my life.   My swing has just barely moved in the last decade.  From my mom dying, to my house being usurped by my drunk brother, to my no sleep trying to pass school for 2 years to two months trying to find someone to hire me.   It has been a very straight path with no up swing at all.

    I'm barely getting by.  Trust me.

    That is true. I do know very little. But you have persevered. And you have passed school and you do have a new job and a roommate you seem happy with. In my world, that's an upswing. Especially when you give yourself the credit you deserve.

    No, I am like a number of others who have replied. I hate drama, fuss, stress etc...  I always thought I was great at dealing with stress and drama.. but I realised that that's because I do everything I can to avoid it.. That's not to say that it doesn't find me... it does... very often.. But where I can I try to make things as simple as possible and try to declutter in every way.

    No.  I'm not into drama in my life or anyone else's.

    Occasionally, I get sucked in by one of my sisters, but not very often. :)

    I would like to lie and say I don't.  I would like to say I don't worry about people, places and things and want to help them all the way down to a broken shoe string.
    But, I do.  It's true.  Sometimes to the point where even I don't have a clue.
    However, must I say, each and every day, I do succeed in making that day the best it can be.

  • No, I don't make life more complicated than it has to be. Why live a complicated life when simple is much less stressful and far more enjoyable.

    Have you tried seeing a job counselor to find out what kinds of jobs you would be good at doing?  What kind of skills do you have?  What do you like to do?  The answers would enable a counselor to figure out what you would be good at.

  • I have OCD, which always makes things more complicated than they need to be.

    I can certainly relate to that!

    Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go alphabetize my bath products.

    Worry.  I worry about everything.  I guess I need to believe I can handle whatever comes my way.  I'm the "What If " person. It interferes with my joy and if I could, I would change .

    I think someone just needs to club you over the head with a turkey leg.
