It is good to sometimes be critical of yourself. But probably not healthy to always be questioning your beliefs. Some moments call for you to step up to the plate with confidence and certainty.

I'm partial to lists and 5 and 10 thing posts, so I will never criticize your lists. You are a very wise (and normal) 26 year old, and I love your lists.

Is it because they became so popular and everyone and their brother started doing them? It all feels so 'high school' to me. Oh, that person is doing a list post! What a cool idea. Then....oh, there are so many people doing list posts, so now I'm going to hate on them. It's as if now it's cool to not do list posts. I think that's just bs in my personal, humble opinion. Screw what other people say, and do what feels good to you. <b>The key is adding value</b>. Your post above has a list and it adds value to the conversation. Well done!

What we say now is the result of our current beliefs and it may change even tomorrow if you have an open mind. I really loved this post by the way.

It's just as important not to get caught up with the lifestyles joneses as it with the normal ones! Keep challenging the status quo! Brilliant, I love it Karen.

Your honesty is inspiring. This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes - "The foolish man speaks, the wise man listens." Your ability to understand that you are right sometimes and wrong sometimes makes you that much more intelligent. Thanks for sharing! -Dena Karen,

I feel the same way... I think the idea is to never stop seeking, and to allow ourselves to change our minds, even when it's out there "in print"... to keep on dreamin' anyway ;) Cheers, Miche Hi Karen, writing this was this bold, honest, and beautiful.

Lovely stuff. Most of the 'uber' bloggers out there I've found are in their 30's? I still think our (limited) life experience gives us another perspective all together!

Because: 1.There's no being "right" or "wrong" in absolute terms. What makes perfect sense for you, in a certain occasion, at a certain point in your life, may not work at all for somebody else. And vice-versa. So I would still listen to you, and very much so. But I'd be more interested in your authenticity in that moment, than in the perfect match of our oppinions. And what you really are - this perfect assembly of imperfections is exactly what makes you unique. (just like everybody else ;-))) 2. Again, in absolute numbers, age doesn't mean much. You can have quite a clear and open mind at 26, or be as narrow minded as a crack at 68. Look around you. 3.If you change your mind that often, that means it's super clean! Well done to you. That's a sign your mind is evolving, growing, is flexible and suple, can see different angles to old issues, it adapts, it moves. So I am listening to you. Go on and express yourself and never prove me wrong! :-))) Best of luck, Anna Presso I have to disagree with you on all 3.
