Being outside all day, all night----at the beach preferably---- I am interested in people yearning to be honest with themselves (if you are trying you know how difficult). I AM worried and tired of the narcissistic facade which is truly insecurity. This problem is how and why BUSH was elected. Am I acting a role or being my true self? Pretending and Being ARE different...Playing the "less than...Better than" game with everyone we encounter hurts us all----but especially the person who enslaves themselves with constant comparison... If we didn't judge each other so much, maybe we could actually develop societal empathy!!----Now I sound judgmental...see how insidious it is in our culture!!hahahaha
