Frustration, isolation, underemployment,

Financial insecurity, not at ease with self.

Outsider on the fringes, could/should do

Better. Perfectionist in an imperfect world.

Keep busy, volunteer, community groups,

Creative writing, arts/hobbies. Socialise.

Fresh air better than Prozac’s artificial buzz.

Get a happy medium between torpor & stress.

Glass half-full or half-empty?

Varies from day to day; self-awareness good

But too much self-criticism a negative.

Dwell on the past, worry about the future?

Better get on and live in the here and now.
