Dear Annie: I’ve always been someone who struggles between my head and my heart. I see things that I want so badly and my heart aches for them, but I know better when those things don’t mesh well with my life. Like denying my favorite piece of chocolate cake because it’s bad for my diet.
Normally, this is one of my best traits. I was very good at buckling down in school and work throughout my life, and when all of my friends wanted to go out to a party, I was always the one to stay in and study.
