You really can't care what other people think, you know what I mean? It's the fastest way to slow you down. You can care about people liking you, but only safely in a superficial, topical sense... like you hope that it will happen but don't apply any special effort in getting there. In other words, you want them to like you without you trying -- so they like the real you.
I'm just going to the gym now when I can. I can't beat myself up over not making it there or closely calculating what days I've missed and what days I have to make up. People deserve a day of rest, now and then, or a day to reorganize your apartment, or go out just to find the little something to add that splash of color or panache to brighten up your living space. Or a day to sit and read that book you never get to read, or look at old magazines to remember that first "ooh" you breathed when you saw it on the newsstand and couldn't help blowing $4. Or have time to make lemonade with the last lemon that in a few days will be way too soft. It's all a part of reinventing myself.
