    What Is Your Inner Animal Spirit?

    If I have one, its probably a lion. I have curly hair that looks like a lions mane... And many cat like characteristics, such as being affectionate and picky... I love a good nap too!

    What Is Life?

    I feel like its a test. I don't think God cares how much we own, or how much prestige/power we have in this world. I think all that matters to him is that we are doing the best we can to progress, and make a positive difference in this world.

    First Day Of School Tomorrow

    They may hold a bit of a grudge for you shaking things up, but who needs people like that anyway? At least you can be comforted knowing that there are plenty of parents out there, who appreciate what you have done for their children and the school. :) They care about you. I'm sure you'll get...

    I am SO glad he is coming to his senses!!! There is just NO excuse for her behaviour!!! How DARE SHE?!? Have you asked your fiancée to refrain from discussing your personal issues with her?

    Follow Up Medical Care And Routine Procedures

    Pap smears are difficult- but necessary! I prepare myself before hand, and when I go my female doctor is very compassionate about my situation - she talks me through it. I guess knowing exactly what she is doing - gives me back the feeling of being in control. Afterwards I go and treat myself to...

    My Brothers Did Some Weird Shit

    At 16 he was definitely old enough to know better (unless he's mentally disabled?) It sounds like grooming behaviour to me. I hope it didn't evolve into anything worst than that... I completely understand why you would be traumatised by his behaviour. As an adult you clearly know that the...

    In Need Of Comfort And Supportive Words...

    Why can't law enforcement make lie detector tests compulsory when people reach a certain age... And weed the destroyers out. We shouldn't have to feel this hurt!!! I feel like I've been given a life sentence. If I were to add up everything I have ever done wrong, It still wouldn't even come...

    In Need Of Comfort And Supportive Words...

    I get it! God it hurts! I would totally feel better if they were dead... I think the whole world would feel better for it. They are incapable of stopping themselves from preying on the vulnerable and destroying lives.

    Why? Why?

    I find music very grounding for me, sometimes when I'm shopping I will walk around with my headphones in. Some days it's just about surviving. What do you usually do to ground yourself?

    In Need Of Comfort And Supportive Words...

    Last night I was so exhausted, but I didn't sleep at all! The darkness felt like a threat... I kept getting flashes of abusers coming into my room, and being forced by my mother to say goodnight to K - which meant him taking advantage of the situation and me. On the day that most people are...
