I know this is an older post, but I got to reading it and smiled as I did. I wanted to keep it going cuz I think it's a great thread.

For me:

- I can read my books without having someone scowl at me and saying " get your nose out of that book and dry the dishes" Ha! Now I purposly leave the dishes and revel in being able to read whenever I want!

- No more being forced to watch home improvement shows! This used to drive me nuts and I was forced to watch them for hours and hours on friday nights...we never had the money to improve our home, so this made it worse. It was always a constant reminder of how little we had.

- My razor is all MINE! Woo Hoo!

- I can be myself for the first time in nearly 20 years. Wow.... ex used to always give me a look when I'd make a funny joke at social gatherings ...the kind of look which told me " shut up you're embarassing me" or " you're an idiot". I always thought I was being funny and showing a side of my personality....a side I really liked! Funny how I lost that enjoyment and playfulness in myself. So good to have that back and I feel like myself again.

-I can eat in the livingroom!

-I don't have to ask permission or be reprimanded for buying a book anymore.

-I feel that there is possibility in life. The world looks so different to me now.

-Toilet seat UP!!!! Woo Hoo! ( hehe..sorry ladies)

-To end off and reiterate...I've found a piece of myself that was lost for so long. What an amazing feeling that truly is...

I enjoyed this thread so much! Thanks!
