naturalemotions, you little sweet and wonderfulful you! In 35 years when you are at the "top of the hill" looking down, you will be at the peak of your life also where aside from going over the hill, have lived the majority of your life by then.

When you get there, you will smack yourself when you realize the thousands, no millions of things you still have ahead of you. I am 54, and one thing is for sure, life sometimes doesn't get better, but it sure will change -- and if you develop a sense of humor where everythig is funny -- and it really is -- life will be an absolute ball.

Remember: Life is a bowl of cherries, and we are all fruitcake.

You are NOT a loser. There is nothing wrong with you where you should feel ashamed about anything. If someone or something in your life make you feel less than or shames you, get rid of it. Don't ever compromise yourself. You are too importatnt to yourself and to God. or if you don't look that way -- however you focus your higher self - you get my drift.

in my lifetime, I've seen more people with phobias than not, with issues on germs -- my hubby is one of them, and he has health issues and wants to stay home all of the time, but they are real. He just likes to feel lousy.

This is from my personal experience which is all I know, and I've "field tested" it myself. ha ha. I see the humor in everything. You are likely very bored with life and yourself. I spent an hour and a half today sitting in the shoe department in the clearance corner at Target just sitting and staring, sticking my gum on the shopping cart, picking my nose, acting a little dramatic like it looked like I might be having a heart issue or hot flash but too hard to tell, etc. You get the picture. I was pretty depressed for no reason today. changing the scenery always helps. I loved being your age and living at home or just moving out. My favorite was leaving for work in San Francisco on a Monday and not coming home until Thursday.....youth is awesome. and that was the 80s. Young people today got gyped!!!

I don't know how silly I can get without offending you, but in all seriousness, I meant everything that I said about you being important. This place has always been a sanctuary and is relaible. I need to be more active.

If you want to be posting buddies where everytime you post or I do, we respond to one another to keep ourselves active and in the loop, just give me a shout out or private message me.

Stay strong...Courage!!
