[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 608108, member: 14557"] It may be, that my problem is not knowing any other kind of existence, and being too much of coward to try reaching to one, but to me peace, quiet, calm and even 'living for yourself' sounds deceptively like grave or at least bored to death in some nursing home chair gazing telly waiting to get to that grave. I know drama can be addictive. And that it is considered a disorder when you crave strong experiences and are not satisfied with everyday life. But darn that peace and quiet and small joys do sound dull and blah. I know I'm too restless for my own good. I know it's not good for me. Intellectually I do want peace and quiet and that picket fence of mine. And have worked hard for that. But if I ever actually achieve that, I'm probably enough of my mother's daughter (and yeah, my difficult child's mother) that I will bolt. I'm 43 years old. I may have half of my life still in front of me. I'm nowhere near ready to call it a day and concentrate on gardening, crafts, my dogs, coercing my husband to join me to classical music concert, meeting my girlfriends in classy wine bars for a chat and class of quality wine and entertaining guest every now and then with nice dinner. And joining the dinner parties of others. I would die to boredom, or loose what is left of my marbles for good, in less than five years of that. [/QUOTE]
