You are an inspiring woman! I have read a lot of your blog and I love it. My first love and first boyfriend who I thought was the "one" broke up with me and we are over. Its over. It's been a month and since then I've been doing a lot of work on "ME" cause ...it needs to be done. He left me because I wasn't me. Or something like that! You should feel very proud of yourself for writing these blogs even at twice weekly is a lot :) There is so much inspiration and you provide so much insight. I thank you a million for all of this. I feel real guilty for all the things that I did and did not do in our relationship. I am 25 and I am on the path of discovering who I really am. I know who I want to be. I just put my all into our relationship and nothing into me. I became very attatched. Unattractive is what that is.....I believe I can do better and I am better than that, that I am a very independant person, and I can make myself happy. I regret loosing that sight with him, he was good to me, but then everything happens for a reason right? <3 Hey!

Today is my birthday. Last year on my birthday, a friend had a dinner party for me. I didn't spend the day with my parents. My Dad died in October. That was my last birthday with him and I wasn't with him for more than an hour. I miss him. Tonight my friends and sisters are taking me to dinner. My mother won't go. For young people she says. I'm Sad, and I feel guilty. About last year and about tonight. I never know the right thing to do anymore. My guilt posseses me. Guilt, all self imposed. Today is my birthday.

It's really hard for me. I'm guilty over some things that I did when I was younger, and I almost feel like I wish I could tell someone but I'm too afraid to do it. I did - or at least I feel like - I did something incredibly wrong... I mean, it's not murder or anything but it's not like other peoples', with it just being about that I didn't go to the nursing-home to see etc., etc.... you know? I hope I can overcome it.

All I can say now is I felt a heavy burden lift from my shoulders. I am letting go of things and will try to focus more. From time to time I can see myself reflecting on these articles and writing down my thoughts. Another lesson in life at any age we all need reminding and at certain times in our lives some more than others. Thank you. This article was my last read.

Analyze the source of guilt: can you do anything about it? If not, disassociate yourself from it. You can't change it, so why worry? Don't feel guilty, because it's out of your control anyway. If you can do something about the source of guilt, then change it. Feeling bad for taking too long to reply to emails? Organize a system of email-checking a few days a week, and batch-reply emails no matter what. Look at the source of the problem and fix it. The latter has done wonders for me. I re-organized my tasks I was just "doing whenever" to be batch-processed, and I started taking care of things right away. Work got done faster, emails replied sooner (got them out of the way during my designated time so I free up my mental energy for other things). I nipped guilt-sources in the butt and had more time to enjoy life rather than have "I need to get to that" things linger throughout the day. Thanks for sharing your tips, I can relate and have used many of them to free myself of guilt, Oleg Hey Tina,
