I get down on myself a lot. I should take more photos - I should learn how to take better photos - I should learn how to use photoshop to make my photos even better - I shouldn't use photoshop because it's cheating. It's all a matter of "I shoulds." I should:
-work out more
-eat less
-make more friends
-stay in better contact with my friends
-stay in better contact with my family
-try harder at work
-take up a new hobby
-save more money
-spend less money
-go out with friends less
-and it goes on and on

And, yes, these are very common concerns that most people have. I just wish I could give myself a break about them. Sometimes I get these flashes of brilliance, moments of clarity, where I think, life is too short to worry about whether I get on the elliptical. Then I think life will be to short if I don't get on the elliptical. Even those in the list above sort of contradict each other. Can I simply not give myself a break about anything? Right now, I'm getting down on myself for whining.

So what's the point? There isn't one. Welcome to my world of over-analysis, over-thinking, endless ramblings, sometimes criticism, but, hopefully, the ability to laugh about it. That's the good side to be on.
