Not many people are hesitant to contact just anybody. In fact, they sometimes don't stop pursuing you, even when you've already rejected them. There are so few gay dating ( Read more... )

This is an e-mail from my cousin in New York; in conversation with her 11-year-old son.

>>>Here's something I found while cleaning out my desk. It was written on April 30, 2007, never given a title, and never shared until now. It's not completely relevant to me anymore, but I have to admit that it still holds some relevance today. Enjoy...

What is it about me that intimidates people? Is it how I look? Is it because I know what I want in life? Is it my determination? I may not know now, but I would like to find out. Not because I want to change, but I want people to know that there is nothing about me that should intimidate anyone. Frankly, I'm quite tired of hearing it. I've heard it ( Read more... )

Do you ever feel like you're meant for something bigger? You're being suffocated by everything that surrounds you. Trapped in a place that has so little to offer you, a place where you feel that you don't belong. This is your life, and you're stuck. A caged animal, meant to run free. You're meant to do bigger and better things with your life, you ( Read more... )

Take a minute. Think about all of your problems. Now think about how many of them aren't actually problems.

Whether it be a career, friendships, talent, ( Read more... )

There comes a time in your life when there is no longer an easy way out. A time when you can't allow yourself to fail, when you can't take a chance on giving up. You have to fight for what you want, what you believe in, and what you know you can accomplish. This is the time for you to reach for your dreams. Nothing is ever too big, or too small.

When does it stop? When do all of our desires just fade away? Why is it that we all find something to crave? Even if it's not worth our attention, we feel the desire, and yearn for it. We're so caught up in it, we don't even know we're doing it. There is never a time when we don't crave something, because we always find that something. Would we be ( Read more... )

What is with the guys that are so interested in getting to know you that they become annoying? Why is it that they can't understand that you're not interested? Do you really have to get mean to make them understand? Nicely letting them down just doesn't seem to work anymore. Nobody can comprehend nice behavior well enough to understand what it ( Read more... )
