3 minutes ago I knew exactly what I was gonna' write here and the words have packed there little alphabet bags and gone somewhere far away!

maybe a couple of them will come back to me?

oh yeah my definition of useless just for me that applies to me from my weird life of everything illness and whatever the hell?

"I seem to know a little bit about everything but not enough about anything!"

I'm now incapable of explaining any further what I mean because I really don't know enough about it!

I just know enough that I used to embrace this as a gift having a wide variety of experiences and knowledge but it's caused me to become a very confused and volatile individual.

I don't even know enough about myself to know why I want to share my definition of useless with anybody why the hell write anything at all why even be?

I guess everything is just a big fat guess?

I'd say yes it's mostly a big fat guess (I just heard the words fart gas in my head while typing!!) they're actually quite similar lol.

You're not useless I do know that. And more likely you know too much about many things.

It's ok to not know everything about yourself. I'm sure many seekers are twice our age. It's like more to discover to unwrap to piece the puzzle. Keeps it interesting. And a deep person is not easy to figure out. It's all part of the process. My current perspective. Flip could switch of course... And my paranoia is so bad I can't even read the thread with any related word in the title. Next thing I know my ounce of confidence is out the window, where's my stupid minty pills... Why make sense I don't have to make sense right?

that definitely got a good laugh outa' me C! ...you do have a very special brand of mental dyslexia it's very creative and works like party poppers to the casually comatose! I anticipate with both fear and interest what you will wiggle my words into by accidental fortune!

...and once again Christina, I feel I can check in my time card at the 'headspin factory' where I work such long tedious hours. what a marvellous thing is a little bit of understanding...I guess C will be clocking off too..

Oh Oh Hey ... remember when we were all young and life was a playground and we sat on swings and twisted around and around and around then let go ???? What a headspin that was ! Ha .

We need to just revert to 5 year olds on a playground. Biggest worry was if you were brave enough to go down the really big slide ...

Ahhh memories ... Can I have my juice and cookies now?

don't eat all the cookies!
and the big slide was ENORMOUS! just for the big kids until Im bigger not yet soon I hope the sooner the better but

meanwhile...

grass stains, cuts and bruises and runny noses wiped on sleeves and talking about sleeves where did I leave my shirt? way up in the tree I climbed but got stuck or fell out of or something hardly thought about much in the doing like when my sister smashed a guitar over my head and she was so small too and it's the only violent thing she ever did but I wouldn't let her play with it!...I guess she not only wanted me not to play with it anymore but she also wanted to punish me...hehe...
who cares I guess kids know best!
Thanks for this!

Knowing less makes one teachable. If I already knew everything, I would have no opportunities for adventure, growth, new experiences because I would already know it all. That would be frightfully boring. The older I get, the less I know.

It's ok not to know. No one else does either. The ones who think they know are stuffing that anxious belly ache of 'not knowing' with the comfort food of belief, but beliefs aren't necessarily truth.

The less I think I know, the more open I am to true knowing.
Thanks for this!

I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades too. Sometimes I love it, and sometimes I hate it. I love it because you can throw me just about anywhere and I'll be fine there. I hate it because I meet a lot of people who's lives are really passionate about one thing or another... and I won't fit into their lives very well, because although I might quite enjoy that one thing, I can't spend too much of my time around it before I get bored and want something else.

Overall I think I like it more than dislike it. Whenever I feel like learning more, I've already got a looooooad of areas that I'm interested in and can indulge in it again and further my knowledge and/or experience.
Thanks for this!

I'm like that too. I am so interested in so many things that I never get really good at one thing. But I can't stick to one thing for long because it gets boring. I like variety. I think my next venture may be kite flying but i'd really like to try hangliding. But I'm a wee bit scared I'll land point down and get hurt!
Thanks for this!

I really much prefer the way you both are describing sort of what I was on about. thankyou.

I don't remember what I was doing or what happened today to force the realisation to burst out of me in such a negative way... I can guarantee it was something that either made me sad or mad... despondent or something at the least overwhelmed.

I just have not been able to do the same thing for long at all...except of course the not being able to do the same thing bit! I have been able to do that forever!

they could always rely on me being the unreliable one...eventually
