kutan's corner 07 Oct 2014 01:15 #240997

Hi, this is kutan.
I'm trying an experiment.

I am going to try to keep a log of myself here.

Hopefully will help me be real.

The motivation was that I found myself, just yesterday, slinking back to my 'old' ways.
They're not so old, actually, since "before Elul" is not that long ago. By 'old', I mean ingrained.

Talking 30 years.

So, I made a trip to a friendly neighbors apt, and just happened to check out the video shelf, and noticed a movie, and today checked the online summary to see descriptions of the scenes that motivated my whole expedition... you get the picture.

Seems like I am climbing up on the stairs to the slide, looking to take a long ride down.

Hopefully, looking myself in the mirror here will help this stop.

We'll see. I'll keep you posted, bli neder.

Cheers, till tomorrow!

Keeping a log sounds like a great idea because when you write out what you plan on doing, it then forces you to view it from a different perspective. Posting can be a great tool, and super effective. Keep on posting and KOMT!

Welcome back!!

I remember you vaguely, from a chat, I think. Can you remind us about who you are?

Welcome back (i think). I hate to be a pessimist, but relying on a log on an anonymous forum doesn't seem to be a good way to "help me be REAL".

Why not reach out to a REAL person?

I think I quoted you here and there.
You were here in the good old days.
Now, we are in the good new days.
Whatever...welcome back, but what happened to your 'log' commitment?

Gibbor, One of my mottos... it's not all or nothing !

(I used to say: It's never all or nothing, but then I realized... sigh)

The back to work - real life - after YT transition is hard. Last two days I've been viewing inappropriate images on the web.

And the thought popped into my head, several times... "better post on GYE - ASAP."
Which quickly got squashed by the thought: "I don't want to! I want to enjoy myself. I am entitled to it. I NEED it. "

I reckon about 1 hour wasted, or two.

But I finally made it here. Dov's piece in today's daily chizuk email was helpful. Very.

So, we are starting again, going forward. All inappropriate history deleted (as per Exodus 13:17).

Happy living!

Someone once said that any sentence or feelin' that starts with "I" generally doesn't end well...not sure who, or if it's accurate.....I was just gettin' that feelin'....similar to those I had yesterday.

feeling good today!


I think that when my secretary leaves this afternoon and I'll have the office "all to myself", things will be OK.

who knows?

Office all to myself.
Good thing I have an ego.
How will it look if I have to admit that I lost it again
