What is a childhood ambition that you had?
I wanted to be placed in solitary confinement or become a hermit, as long as I had a free supply of books. I thought about things I could do that would be serious enough for me to be locked away, but not bad enough to do anyone any harm and not the kind of thing that would put me in group therapy. This may have quite a lot to do with my autism and ADHD.I’ve always had terrible problems with concentration, and everything and everyone around me can contribute to this. A fairly small area with plain walls, where people mostly leave you alone and don’t disturb you, where there’s very little to distract you and where you don’t have to hold dozens of thoughts in your head at one time? Yes please.Plain food, same surroundings, predictable routines. Very few possessions.Very few social obligations, and very little social interaction.It stayed a dream because I figured that it would probably turn out to be exactly the opposite of what I wanted: loud, aggressive, confrontational or unpredictable people around me, no privacy, uncomfortable lighting, sudden, annoying or unpredictable sounds, uncomfortable clothing and bedding, group activities, unexpected changes, vague, illogical or conflicting instructions and expectations, strong emotions around me, unknown dangers, weird food, violence, misinterpretations of my behaviour, misunderstandings if I don’t hear, understand, intuit or remember people’s expectations, inability to adjust my environment and so on. I’d probably be pushed to act in certain ways that I didn’t agree with, in order to be ‘normal’. I probably wouldn’t be respected if I didn’t want people touching me. I was probably about 8 when I decided that going off somewhere alone (either physically or by zoning out) was a better solution.
I have feelings for a girl from my childhood, but she already loves someone else. What should I do now? Should I listen to my heart (remain friends) or brain (leave her)?
For a short answer: In matters of the heart, follow your head. In matters of the head, follow your heart. As simple as that. Now for a longer explanation on it:I think that works best, at least for me it sure does. Because ultimately, every situation in life needs a balance of both. The head is more likely to favor material happiness, while the heart is likely to favor inner happiness. Let's just admit it—for complete satisfaction in life, we need both.For instance, my career is, what you may call, a "matter of the head". If I go by my head, I will look at factors such as the salary, the company's name, perks etc. in going for my first job. But if I follow my heart, I would rather go for a work-profile that gives me happiness, that I really enjoy. As my first profession, I'll look for something for which I wouldn't mind spending hours in the office! You see, in the long run, especially since I am going to work for years and years together, this is what will really matter, not the money.Let's think up an example for a "matter of the heart". I'll take an example in third person this time, rather than myself (:P). Say, a couple broke up some time back, because one of them cheated on the other, and cheated really badly. Years later, the cheat returns to the other one, apologizes for his/her mistakes (which we many) and begs to get back together. In this situation, if the person goes with his/her heart, the memories of them together, basically all the love and blah... will force him/her to forgive. But, is that really correct? Had the person gone with his/her head, it would have occurred to him/her that if a person could cheat once, betray once, he/she could do it all over again, maybe worse. Besides, the head would tell that it has been too long away now, and there is no point going through the hurt or the bad memories all over again. The brain's decision, in this matter, would thus be wiser than that of the heart. (It is a situation-based example and a personal opinion, so we won't argue upon what is right or wrong, okay?) Hence I say what I say. In any situation, don't go for either of the heart or the head. Listen to both, and follow the one that is apparently not a part of the situation (as already explained). I personally believe that a lot of mistakes and bad experiences in life can be avoided this way. Besides, it helps one judge better, and see farther.
Can you tell me what this repeating nightmare means?
ok...80% that it potential no longer something cus ur no longer an actor in a movie. this is basically stress I guess or basically random ideas who's conscious. yet my favourite tricks for nightmare is you may want to be at a level of acceptance that you're on suitable of problems with the dream, so then imagine of something completely RANDOM AND humorous, like if it really is a ghost I once imagine that a wrestler tackled the ghost and beat him up...strange i understand yet once that takes position....a random humorous photo popped up, u are like remedy of nightmare for me. Or commence dreaming satisfied theory or something humorous
What kind of a child were you?
I’m in the pink coat.This was taken in 08′, right after the stock market crash. My parents just so happened to be in the housing industry, and you know what that means.We lost a lot of money, (hence our worn clothes) and my parents still had to feed, clothe, and house ten people. I didn’t realize it until I was older, but those were rough years financially.So we moved from our two story house to a small house in the country.I loved that farmhouse.It had three tiny bedrooms and a large basement. The house itself was pretty darn small, but we had ten acres of land to explore. My sister and I certainly didn’t mind how cramped it all was. We were barely ever inside, we played Indians in the grass with the neighbor girl, and we picked cherries from the trees in the fields. We hiked with our father to see the neighbors horses. We played in the barn and caught lightning bugs in the dusk.But what was I like?I read all the children’s books we owned, I sang constantly much to the annoyance of my brother, I played with stuffed animals and superhero dolls. I named my doll that had red hair and a red dress “Ice Skater Girl” because I thought it was ironic. I don’t think I even knew what “Ironic” meant at that age.I wrote books about “Emoly”, (I didn’t know how to spell) and I still have them today. I would write on our old family computer for hours each day, slowly typing the story of Emoly. I’m pretty sure Emoly was supposed to be me, as she had a dog just like mine and was a lot like me, or at least what I wanted to be like.If you asked my mom what I was like, she would say this: Witty, introspective, intelligent, deep.Of course you have to calculate for mom-bias, but that’s fairly accurate.When my younger brother was born, my mother almost died. Ultimately they had to perform an emergency cesarean-section.I have a memory of standing at the fireplace while my dad and older sister spoke. The other kids were around, I think, but I was too focused on them. I was around two.I knew something was wrong and I wanted to help. My sister was worried, and my dad was too, I could tell. I think I probably tried my best for a two year old. I was empathetic then and I still am.I think the description my mother gave of me is about the gist of it, though.
What could this dream mean?
It is and interesting dream, I'm really scared of the dark and ghosts too. I don't know what the dream means, other than just that you are scared of those things as well. You were probably watching a scary movie, or talking about scary things before you went to bed. So subconsciously you dreamed about it. I used to have scary dreams all the time.
How to cover extreme dark circles? 10 points to the best answer!?
Use a light eye cream the second you wake up, this will help to fade dark circles but make sure you wait at least 15 minutes before applying any makeup to the eye area, for best results use a brightening eye cream like Origins Gin Zing Refreshing Eye Cream. - If you have extreme dark circles use corrector before concealer in a peach or pink tone and follow with a yellow toned concealer after. - Make sure you are using a peach, yellow or orange toned concealer. - Orange is the best way to correct grey and blue so mix a tiny amount of orange in with your concealer, and apply. For best results use a lipstick as they have creamy hydrating properties. - Your concealer for dark circles should only be 1-2 shades lighter then your foundation, if it makes them look grey it’s to light. - Use a good high quality concealer, brands like Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier carry little sets that contain a powder and a concealer to help hide your dark circles. - Apply your concealer over the top of your foundation, generally your foundation hides imperfections a bit and if concealer is put underneath it can rub off. - Make sure you use a concealer that’s the same shade as your foundation over the top. - Apply your concealer with a brush but blend it in with your ring finger, preferably in a patting motion as the warmth of your fingers will help to smooth it onto the delicate skin and look more natural. - Set your concealer with a blending eye brush and a yellow toned (White toned if you are extremely pale) translucent powder, this well help it to stay in place. - Also ensure you get a good night sleep so avoid eating hot and spicy foods and instead opt for things that contain ammonia acid, like milk, cottage cheese and chocolate.
Why do I have these dreams?
Say this prayer asap: God can help you, If only you ask Him. If you want to accept Christ as Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this: "Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask You in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve You always." Amen He helped me and I want you to feel his Love too.
What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?! (Yes, meaning REAL ghost stories).
this didnt happen to me, but my 8th grade english teacher firmly believes in ghosts because of it.... when she was little, like 8 or 9, her family lived at the top of a hill in a development. the senior prom had just ended, and she was sitting at home reading in her room. suddenly, there's a loud crash from outside at the bottom of the hill, and screaming. she rushes to the window and flips it open. fire, smoke, and two figures are at the bottom of the hill, screaming for help. she runs downstairs where her parents have already called the police and paramedics. they all go outside to see whats happening. the police and ambulance comes and they learn what happened. a guy and his girlfriend (im pretty sure his name was derek, cant remember), were riding to his house on his motorcycle, when they started speeding down the hill, hit a rock, and crashed into a tree. the whole motorcycle burst into flames, and both of them died (they were mangled and burned...ucck.) obviously, everyone was very distraught, so 8 year old ms. brager (my english teacher) goes home with her family. a year goes by, and on the same night as last year's prom. ms. brager is in her house, downstairs watching TV with her mom, and they hear screams. a girl is shouting "help, heeeelp! i'm going to die, please help me!" they are completely freaked, but they run outside to see whats going on. at the base of the hill, a dark figure with long hair, wearing a dress is pacing back and forth, screaming her head off. then, a dark shadowy figure (ms. brager figured it was derek) walks toward her, and then they hear the crackle of flames, and there gone. of course, they both are completely freaked by now, so they run in the house. ms. brager's dad had already gone outside, hearing the noise too, and they locked the door with him outside, lol. they wouldnt answer the door for him until he shouted "it's me, let me in already!" haha. well, anyway, that's the story. the only ones who heard the screams were them and the parents of derek. idk y they heard the noises because they weren't very close to the guy, but even now ms. brager still firmly believes in the paranormal. :)
Name of a song? HAVE SOME LYRICS?
It's called "I've Been Waitin' For Tomorrow (All of My Life)" and it's by The The. Here are the lyrics: I'm hiding in the corner Of an overgrown garden Covering my body in leaves And trying not to breath All my childhood dreams Are bursting at the seams And dangling around my knees I've been deformed by emotional scars And the cancer of love has eaten out my heart I've been stripped bare and nobody cares And all the people I looked up to are no longer there All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind Another year older and what have I done My aspirations have shriveled in the sun I'm crippled by guilt Blinded by science I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life working, keep talking. working, keep talking working, keep talking working, keep talking All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind Another year older and what have I done My aspirations have shriveled in the sun I'm crippled by guilt Blinded by science I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life I've been filled with useless information Spewed out by papers and radio stations I've been hounded by fair weather friends Sowing the seeds for my discontent Life is like a sewer And I'm trying to wade through her I threw in my money and made my wish But sleeping boys catch no fish All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind Another year older and what have I done My aspirations have shriveled in the sun I'm crippled by guilt Blinded by science I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life working, keep talking. working, keep talking working, keep talking working, keep talking All my childhood dreams Are sinking round my knees My mind has been polluted And my energy diluted My mind has been polluted And my energy diluted My mind has been polluted And my energy diluted My mind has been polluted And my energy diluted My mind has been polluted And my energy diluted My mind has been polluted And my energy diluted My mind has been polluted And my energy diluted
Am I silly for believing I may be reincarnated?
Yes.Next question, please.You are mostly silly for thinking that you have the slightest clue of what you are talking about.You have not investigated the question, and yes! That is silly.Who/what is this "I" that is supposed to be 're-incarnated'?If you can not now remember so-called past lives (fantasies don't count), what makes you think that you would be remembering your present life in future? I can not even remember what I did at 4.30 pm 3 weeks ago, leave alone what I did 3 days after my 5th birthday. So if you can not remember, what exactly is the connection between future and past in this 'life'... what would be the connection between "lives"? Why exactly WOULD 'you' (what-ever that is) want to be 're-incarnated' (what-ever that is)?Soul? Spirit? What exactly is this? What exactly would your connection be with these thingies? Some kind of everlasting consciousness? What is that supposed to be? What about a person who dies with Alzheimer's? Consciousness totally gone. Self? "I"? What exactly is this? The whole idea is a cheap cop-out to not deal with the fear of death, to not deal with serious investigation into WHO this is sitting here, reading.Superficial fantasy, does not bear to have any light shone onto it at all. (Reminds me of an orange coloured game-show host....)So, YES, you are correct! You are silly. You are asking an extremely superficial question and you are not prepared to investigate, bc. you fear for your fantasy.Well done with the little bit of self-realization of 'silly'. As a consolation: you are not alone. The Buddhist take is that 'normal' people are..... silly.
