Relationship fears

Relationship fears are different than other types of fear in that the fear is not of immediate physical harm, but emotional harm.
The two main types of relationship fears are 1) the fear of being abandoned and, 2) the fear of being smothered. I look at myself and I don't have any fear of being abandoned because I won't let anyone get close enough to me because of my fear of being smothered.
I don't want to give up the freedom that comes from being able to do what I want whenever I want. In the past, I have had people who tried to smother me and I quickly got out of the relationship. The question is whether or not I'll find that special someone who will support me emotionally and yet let me be my own person.

Opt In to life

You may notice that websites give you the option of opting out of receiving emails from the company or organization. They are required to do this by the ICANN organization.
Sometimes the process is easy requiring a few clicks and sometimes it is difficult.
Life can be the same way. Sometimes people choose to opt out of life permanently and other people choose to opt in no matter how difficult it is.
Make the choice to opt in!

Chronic Happiness

I have given much thought to my plight. I have decided to fight this chronic disease with incurable happiness. In the words of author Shawn Achor and comedian Marcus D. Wiley happiness is a choice. If it's a choice then I will select it. I will choose it on purpose as opposed to accidentally choosing it.
