300.095“I've been wanting to try meditation for quite some time now to deal with my anxiety but just haven't been able to sit down and do it. And it's exactly for the reason that you said - everything is always ON. My house is always loud and my baby sister is always pounding on my door. I mentioned this to a friend who meditates and she said that the point of meditation is to be able to do it even in the most chaotic setting. I hope to someday master that. This has definitely given me the inspiration to try harder now - perhaps I will tomorrow when I get home. One thing that I've found is that thinking really DOES help. I drive into work with my best friend's father (he's my boss) and he just likes to have the car quiet on the ride. We're in the car for a 45 minutes together and during that time, I just think to myself and it really helps me clear my mind. I've found that I've been sleeping throughout the night and falling asleep faster because of it too. My mind is no longer racing because I set aside some time each day to sort out my thoughts, even if it's just 45 minutes. Great boo!” -

muckdog Hey Kaella, it's okay to rant about the sadness and tragedy of murder. It's all rather senseless. But, don't let it bring you down. You can't control the actions of idiots, right?

“I am growing to like you so much more with each boo. This is something that I've argued about with friends for years now. Everything you said is so on point. Who cares what the person will spend it on? As long as what he/she does spend it on gives them a glimmer of hope and happiness, so be it. We all take what we have for granted. I'm not going to lie and say that I've never ignored someone begging, but more often than not even if I DON'T have money (as I seldom carry cash) I acknowledge the person asking and say, "I'm sorry, I don't". As you said, they are humans too. The song "Another Day In Paradise" by Phil Collins (though I prefer the Copeland version better) is amazing. You should take a listen. My uncle used to live on the streets so this topic kind of hits home. I hope many people listen to this and THINK about the situation at hand.” -

“I struggle with this as well. The exact same thing. All my life, I've wanted to be the solid friend that people turn to, despite what I've struggled with and the fact that I never had that person in my life. That's what confuses me the most - internally I've battled my demons for the majority of my life but I still wanted to be that person that anyone could turn to. "If you ever need me, I'm here for you. Even if it's 3AM. My phone is on." And then I would leave my phone on a loud ringer. And I would wake up with no calls or texts. Nobody ever took my offer of security and that pissed me off. And then those who used me as a vent mechanism ONLY talked to me when they needed to vent (when I thought we were decent friends). I couldn't win. And I still can't win today. At this point I feel as though if someone happened to be dangling off a cliff and I extended my hand, he/she would rather fall to his/her death than take my help. You know? I don't understand it. Do you deal with this too? I definitely think it's either a) something we're born with or b) the way we were raised/what we went through as children. I feel like there's something WRONG with me though because I'm so caring sometimes. You know? GAH not making sense again, I fear. Haha.” -

“This was a great boo. I think of this sometimes too but one thing I've always said is that even though there are people going through much worse than you, that doesn't lessen the blow of what you're going through. You know? I suppose it's sort of a catch 22 though because you are definitely right - we could all take a look at our lives and the lives of others and gain new perspectives but we're too caught up taking a look at our lives and basically freaking the fuck out. I think that freaking out over your computer documents is OK though because it's relevant to you. Sure, it may seem silly in the long run but it's something you care about. Am I making sense here? I'm not sure I am at this point. Haha. I definitely enjoyed this nonetheless.” -

itsadrixx and instead of agreed, I meant AGREE! lol
-
itsadrixx I completely agreed with you about this! 100%! OMG! I get soooo mad about this too... ugh.
-
bloodredthorn I totally agree, I always say please and thank you to everyone. I also don't swear if I'm with anyone over 40ish, I was never allowed swear at home so it's just a habit now. And I always acknowledge people like waiters, ect. I live in ireland and had a german student over once who was amazed that every1 always says thank you to the bus driver when they get off the bus!

“I really hope he ends up going! That would be awesome and if he does, I would DEFINITELY try to make things work out. I mean, it's very rare that two people who know each other at home choose to study ABROAD at the same uni, you know? If it was in the same vicinity of home, perhaps not so rare. I know New York City is a big city but even still. Maybe he was put in your life for a reason - definitely grab hold of that and see where you can take it. :)” -

I'm 18 and i'm just about to start uni in a few days. I enjoy mountain climbing and cycling. One of my favourite books is by Laurie Lee, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning (You should read it if you get the chance). I'm a cat person not a dog person. -

itsadrixx wellllllll... you KNOW I've been there, done that. And honestly, the only reason I have for it is this: In a relationship, especially one in which you've invested so much time and energy, it is [easy] to see the good things over the bad. In other words, when you care about someone, or even if you've just become used to them which is sadly often the case, the minute that person is gone, you tend to think of all their good qualities and the happy moments you had with them. SOOOOO... you go back and BAM! You're like "shit, I KNEW there was a reason to end it, etc." but then the cycle continues... Sadly, I have been there before, as you know, but I guess it's something that takes some people more time to realize than others. I know in my case it took me years of "trying" to finally see the light. Additionally, other people stay in these relationship because they're afraid to be alone which is a sad truth but a fact nevertheless... So yeah, it really sucks and it's the reality for so many people but I guess in the end everyone has their own personal reasons as to why they do this to themselves... PS: Super interesting BOO! ily!
