5 Things I'm Thinking Today

[intothelight]

1. What to do with left overs?
2. Getting outside and braving the cold and doing it without whining.
3. How to learn to turn off the "fight" and go through a day peacefully?
4. Work with the pup on healing, especially when squirrels are around.
5. Pick a family member and do something special for one each day, do the same weekly for a friend and a stranger.

1. More reading.
2. I didn't fail the test so badly as I thought I would have, but still head desking hard.
3. I want to just sleep and forget the world. Heck, even with the nightmares.
4. & 5. to be added later.

1. Am I rebounding or setting myself up for another self harming behavior?
2. Am I a "false friend" because it is not in me to be cheerful?
3. How stupid is it that a quote could upset me?
4. Fact of the matter is I was upset before, am I avoiding?
5. All this self examination is perplexing and a bitch and I'm just holding my breath for a new year now.

1. @The Albatross, you're a very thoughtful & critically thinking friend. Leave cheerfulness to other friends, you're true to you this way. :)

I don't cut and run when people I care about are down. I got upset because the quote (which I'll have to go look for) implies that the people who hang around during difficult times revel in someone else's misery.

Added in edit, not familiar with the author, the context... but here it is "Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives." - Paulo Coelho

Maybe that would be a topic for a thread, but I'm not up to it today.

 

[Ronin]

Not all words are equally worth paying attention to, quotes too.

A.k.a. I'd try to disregard the nonsense after processing the emotional impact it's had on me, but otherwise it's simply one of those not applicable things that are best left.

Edited to add: Oh. Coelho. That explains quite a bit. He tends to go on moralistic rants in his books, usually trying to give them a quasi-mystical sounding, it sells better. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of his stories, but it's quite calculated effort and not a sound psychology resource.

Thanks, Ronin.:unsure:
