im thinking i wish i wasnt such a walking neurological disaster that had to be on guard from my trauma-addled neurotic ego CONSTANTLY. i can be having a great day and the second it gets in the driving seat its off on some ******* weird, wonderful and destructive thought process bearing not one...

Ahh, it took me a very long time to square 'the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want' with 'i will fear no evil', i take it to mean, don't worry about what you cannot control, don't seek things that take you out of the present moment, here and now, dont be afraid of life and dont be afraid of...

trying not to laugh here but im 37 and still trying to recover from a gf i was with for 3months 15yrs ago, since then ive had a few 2yr relationships, a 3yr relationship and maybe x2 1yr relationships, but they are all sticking plasters on the open wound. i know thats not entirely helpful, but...

gonna sound a bit wacky, but most of my life ive had abandonment and attachment issues from childhood....its crazy what we do to ourselves...I can guarentee you 100% from experience if your attitude is "they wont be interested...i'm only gonna waste their time...i'm too miserable....ain't gonna...

thankyou for your wisdom x

i love Catcher in the Rye, my middle name is Holden. blows my mind how there are books banned in America...

ahh can everyone calm a bit? the bit of the brain responsible for emotions and impulse (i think its the limbic system) is so so old. we didn't evolve logic till millions of years later. you cannot defeat emotions with logic. we all know this. everyone has valid points, there is no right or...

take a look at your hand. its mainly carbon based, lots of water content, iron, oxygen, calcium, and a whole host of other elements. they were all cooked out of hydrogen in stars. every element. you are powered by sunlight. every calorie you have ever consumed is captured sunlight. YOU ARE A...

say it loud say it clear ruuudegirl, thats what we're here for 🙏

aaah if u want you can take everything personally (boooring!) or just tell them to eff off and sing your heart out. bugger all point in feeling ANYTHING if ya just gonna deny your emotions or afraid to voice them....someones gonna get upset somewhere, but i'm sure its 'their' problem. them' s...

none of us are born men or women. we are born male and female. very simple. not all males and females go on to be men and women, and even if you get there, you still have to fight, or be willing to fight, to maintain it. men and women are social constructs, we made them up, in our imagination...

pfft, i went theist but with MAJOR caveats. i dont believe in any man made god, like judao-christian or any similar religious structures, to me they are fairytales people told when they didnt have science. i find it hard to believe we went from a 'big bang' and masses of hydrogen, to be able to...

hmm,there is a massive gulf between being alone (a physical state) and feeling lonely/loneliness (an emotional state).. as you rightly point out you can be on a mountain and feel connected to every living person and creature on the planet(and you don't need to be a Buddhist monk to experience...
