I take the no-doughnut pledge, and then I break it.

Be truthful, say what you mean and mean what you say, don't ignore the given circumstances.

Once again, I've been thwarted by the massive difference between my vision of the successful me and the me I'm currently stuck with.

If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.

I've spent a lot of time wondering, What's going to happen? What's going to happen? I try not to allow myself to do that much anymore. I think ive gotten more comfortable with the unknown.

I didn't grow up identifying with beauty. I grew up thinking I could be smart and funny - those are the things I got feedback on.

I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.
