The Voices in My Head

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 25 Jan 16

With so much alone time lately I have found the voices in my head speaking loudly and are causing me to rethink a lot of things. No, I am not crazy. But, I am trying to clear my life of things that cause me pain, anguish,...

John Daw It's OK to talk to yourself in your head because you have to be self reliant and it sounds like you are really trying to make sure you get it right in your life. Just make sure to stop and smell the flowers once and a while. :)

Coming Out, Was Scary. But I'm Glad I Did!

Mandy @x0MandyLynn0x (1056) • Canada 25 Jan 16

As most of us know, we all live in a world where sometimes it's hard to be 'who you are'. There is always going to be someone out there who will judge you. Whether you're too skinny, too fat, have acne, hairs messy, dress...

Who is more emotional?

Nsikan Dominic @Bestviews (40) • Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 25 Jan 16

John Daw Wow, I am sorry you had to go through that alone. Being a man I can't comment or pretend to know how you felt but I can tell you that my wife wouldn't go through that alone and I hope you are blessed with children in the future if that is what you want. As...

A house is not a home without a dog

Big Money Talk @BigMoney25 (1286) • Philippines 21 Jan 16

John Daw I find that a furry companion is the perfect combination of qualities that a best friend should have. They love you no matter what you are or where you've been. Its a loyalty that can't be bought and knows no bounds with a sense of understanding that I'll...

Why are all the good ones taken?!

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 20 Jan 16

Here is my rant, I’ll try to keep it short….I’ve developed a bit of a crush on this guy who works at the homeless shelter I volunteer at. He’s the nicest and coolest dude ever! He has spent quite a bit of time mentoring me even...

John Daw Hi There, In my opinion, it sounds like you are attracted to the ones that are already taken because when you get to know them, they tell you right up front they are taken since it is a normal flow of conversation. (What do you like to do? Whose your...
