More specifically, a thread for people to drop comments pulled from introspection. It's one of the recurring themes in Random Comments that seems thread worthy, but that may just be my opinion.
Introspection: I feel like my life is centered on a need to make other peoples lives easier or better in some way. I know that, in practice, it makes me a good person and that, in many ways, the results come back to benefit me, but every now and again I feel like I need to stop and ask myself, "Is this what I want? Can't I be selfish for a little while?" Not that I want to be selfish, but sometimes I feel like my persistent efforts to find compromise and establish a generally beneficial balance often leaves me not getting what I want in life, even though my life is pretty okay. Sometimes I stare out at the open road and think, "I could drop everything and just go, and my skills and resourcefulness would be enough to sustain me as a wanderer" but then I look back and think, "I have people here who depend on my continual presence and support". I'm the rock in so many people's lives (by their own saying) but I really cant think of what my rock is.
