Thank you @Aliea and @hirondelle!

Oh @Tika.  That is so hard!  I wish you didn't have to go through all that.    Nobody should have to go through that.

Thank you @Tika.

LOL, I'm glad you liked it @Redly.  It's nice to know that when I write something that is supposed to be a bit creepy and it works.   Thank you.

I can't say I have nights where I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, but I do have days where I ramble to myself.  LOL.  That's were I get some of my stories.  And it's cool to be a geek!   

Oooh!  Great start @Squarepeg!  I can't wait to read the next bit.

I want to laugh, cry and be angry all at the same time.  Laugh, because of your pictures, cry, because I don't like how the elderly has been treated and angry because these places only care about making money and paying out as little as possible.

@Kethlia, this is pretty cool.  Since I've known you, I thought you were Hawaiian, and I must apologize, as now I find out you aren't.  This is pretty cool, because now I want to read all about your home land.  I always want to learn new things, and this just gives me something more to learn.     Thank you. 

I've never really tried mindful meditation per say, I just feel when I need to meditate (when I remember) I does me loads of good.  You should really give it a go and see how it works.  My recommendation is not to try it once, try it a few different times, try it different times of the day to see if that makes a difference, try it before you eat, or after you eat, first thing after you wake up, or last thing right before bed.  One of them is bound to be best.   

I love to see a woman loving herself.  Oh, wait.  That isn't what you were talking about.  Reads again

Oh yeah, that's what I meant.  You do have a classic look.  That being said, I've always had a thing for women with curves, I mean I love all women, regardless of shape or size, but there is something special about curvy women.  There is just something so nice about a curvy woman.  

I think it's terrible how society and advertising make women feel like shit for having curves, how they make women feel like shit.  

It's even worse here in Thailand.  I worked with you lady, and when we started working with each other, she was slim, but her boyfriend told her how Thai women were better because of how skinny they were, so this young woman felt she needed to lose weight.  When I see her now, I feel she is too skinny, not healthy at all, but it's hard, because generally, Thai women are more slender than western women, so quite a few western women that come here think they need to lose weight to compete, and that's just wrong.  

Any way, that's just my opinion.   

I think that picture is great by the way.

That was good.  You weren't bad at all.  I look forward to hearing more!

Awesome start!  I'm also looking forward to reading/hearing more.  

LMAO, Ah ok.  Makes sense.  

LOL, did something go wrong @hirondelle

Thank you @Kethlia and @Moonhawk.  I saw that quote by Joshua Deeds, and it all just kind of poured out of me. It felt so good to write again. 

Both @Phoenix and @hirondelle bring up good points. I personally tend to read an article, then research the information presented in the article from other than named sources, even if it’s something I believe in or somebody I like. For example, I love the band KISS (my #2 all time favorite bands), and my favorite members of the band are Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley (2 polar opposite people in almost every way except they played in the same band together... twice). I hear and read a lot of things that Gene Simmons says and think “Phuk dude, just shut the hell up before you kill everything you ever worked for”. Then I read some of the things he says and I’m like “Hell phuk yeah!”  Then I read/hear things Ace Frehley says, and I think “Awesomeness dude!”  Then I read some of the other things and think, “what a phuking idiot!”  I do my best to keep things in perspective and look at more than one side to an argument, even if it pisses me off. Lol. 

One thing I learned from on3 of my favorite YouTubers, Phillip Defranco, always leave room for the discussion (my words, not his)

keep up the great writing @Phoenix.  I enjoy your writing. 

All I can say is sometimes, want is more powerful than need. I need to go to work to pay my bills. I want to live in Thailand because I love it. I could live in the States where I would make more money, but I want to live in Thailand. Wanting is a choice. Need, there is no choice. Being able to choose is an incredible thing. Being chosen can be even more powerful. If I am chosen, I feel honored. That means I am special. Your friends choose to hang out with you, so they are saying that you are special, that’s why they chose you. 

Just my opinion though. 

Thank you @Kethlia, I'm working on it.

Seems like you're doing pretty well @Phoenix.  Have a look HERE, maybe this can help.

This is so awesome @Phoenix!  Keep up the amazing work!

LOL, we shall see.  LOL.

You're going to make me want to start a NL Poets thread again.  LOL.

Awesome stuff here @Kethlia.  I'm looking forward to more from you.

I'm so happy you decided to share here @Dulcet.  Great picture by the way.  I hope you therapy session goes well.  I'm looking forward to see how things are going with you.
