andrewduckerI find myself frequently conflicted - wanting both something and its opposite. Wanting time to myself and company, things to amuse me and peace from responsibility, food _and_ weight loss. You know, stuff and other incompatible stuff.
Generally speaking, I strive for balance, because I've noticed that people who let them go too far one way or the other in pretty much anything don't find happiness in it. You need the occasional time in the extremes, which is where the fun is, but you also need time in the centre, which is where contentment is.
You have to, in other words, be moderate even in your moderation.

somethingbrutal - I was cutting it to size for him, and it ended up on my userpic list. And I like it, so until he complains about it, I'm keeping it)
