Trust. How do we know who to trust with those deepest thoughts and feelings? We're really knot sure if they cherish them or stomp them down. It's hard to say what motivates people, yet after time, we might consider their own actions, not just go by what a person says. A well meaning misguided person can be confusing. Someone suffering with some kind of mood disorder might do things that are not like them at all and make no sense.

I guess that we just have to stand by and let things work themselves out, while at other times make the first step in, depending on who and what we are referring to. The way I see it, we're all evolving at a different rate and so some are not on the same wavelength.

These people walking over others are only going to end up hurting themselves. What a person does to others comes back to them sooner or later. It doesn't serve them well. not in the long run. This is only my opinion but it could be that they are in the process of learning something important even by their actions. It could be that they might have their own epiphany then, yet maybe by then it feels as if the "damage" has been doine and ther eis no reversal.

It's nice to have someone who can look deep enough into another person and be there to encourage them but also help them see those areas of ourselves that might need repair or recognition.

I'm starting to get the feeling that you're my unknown twin. I, too, made choices, even the choice of doing nothing. And now I wonder if I should have done something different. Sometimes I wish I had, but I know me. I know how I felt then, I know that my heart was in a good place as far as doing what love would do. I mean in consideration of other people, some of them children.

So here I am..wondering part of the time why I let these things happen. And how it would have turned out if I simply made a different choice.

Maybe our path is laid out for us in a way, but then we have free choice too. Those choices allow us to experience things fully. Do you love in the same strength as you feel other emotions? You know the ones..self doubt. etc. What if we didn't feel? Isn't it our feelings that seem to guide us? *just a thought.

I dislike labels. This or that is wrong type of thing. I think that some things seem to serve us better than others. And by that I mean an overall long lasting feel good. Substance comes to mind. I hope this is making sense.

Lovely words. I wish I had a freind like you. I could use a dozen of them, but numbers don't mean a thing. I love how honest and brave you are to share all this with us.

I'm not sure why but while reading this I almost started crying. But then you came back to a thought which is important and that is being okay with who you are. At the same time, we weren't put on the planet to be by ourself too much either. I think balance is the key word here.

I think I'm reading each of these backwards. from most recent to later ones. Anyway, how do we know hich is the "right" path? What if the right path is whatever one we happen to be taking at any given time. Doesn't everything serve a purpose?

Again, I know this feeling. Being stuck is like the cliche of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Maybe whatever is happening is just an experience to live through and who knows what that brings...maybe something better...maybe leading to such happiness we can't even comprehend just yet.

I understand this way of thinking and can relate.

Very interesting way to put it. I played in the closet as a child because it was quiet, private and safe. When I became homeless and was on the streets, Corners R Us was my favorite place. But surviving is not the same as living.
