Hi. Welcome to my online therapy. For our purposes here, you can call me Anelie. I was born in June of 1976. I’m from Arizona, but I’m currently living in Los Angeles Amarillo, Texas. I was an English major once upon a time, but have since sold my soul and currently work as a proposal writer for a government contracting company but now I'm lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mom. In August 2003 I married a wonderful man (referred to here as “J”) and we just had our first child, our son Mason, in April 2005.

I am definitely driven by my emotions. Seems like I feel things on a deeper level than I should. Makes life bittersweet; the highs are higher and the lows are...really low. But I'm getting the hang of it.

Like most people, I want to do something meaningful with my life and am still trying to figure out just what that might be--I feel like I’m running out of time. I’ve already had to leave some dreams along the wayside, and have learned that sometimes it is better not to turn around and look down the path.

I think too much. I am in constant flux between optimism and cynicism. I usually expect way too much of myself and from life in general. That expectation often leaves me feeling vaguely dissatisfied…but hopeful.
