I've been growing a lot. And so has my husband. He's been doing zen, I've been learning some energetic things as well. It's helping us cope and when we look at our life right now, it's pretty good. We have plenty of friends, no money problems, our life is comfortable and fun, and we're doing things to develop ourselves on a more spiritual level. ( Read more... )

I think too much. I create my own unhappiness and anxiety by worrying and doubting. I am painfully aware of this. That doesn't mean I can stop myself from doing it ( Read more... )

I've been listening a lot to the Diablo Swing Orchestra, their music cheers me up. Their songs have titles like Exit Strategy for a Wrecking Ball and Wedding March for a Bullet, so I came up with this title for my post ( Read more... )

The other day I browsed webcomics and found the pain scale of Hyperbole and a half. I read this and then I realised that something is strange about the way I handle pain. I think it may be influenced by my upbringing; I was taught to act tough and never show my feelings. I have an early memory where I got a vaccination in each arm and the nurse ( Read more... )
