Why do I do this to myself?

May 25, 2005 01:01

Okay so I was going to go to bed at 11:30 when I got home, but I for some reason I decided to stay up working on a puzzle even though my back is killing me and it only made it worse. And now it is 1 am and here I am on the computer. I'm very thankful for the good things that the computer, okay internet, bring to my life... but I'm irritated at how ( Read more... )

Betsy, you are a very strong and thoughtful person. There is nothing wrong with you in my book :) But I understand the way you feel when you are deprived of people that you love. I don't know about the relationship with your father but I'm truely sorry for all of the pain you have been through. To let my emotions stream out I go to church and cry them out. I look forward to crying now because after I'm done, I feel great! You will be in my prayers Betsy and just remember there will always be people that care about you... Being in pain from softball rulz. I love being in pain when I play softball for some wierd reason. Last year, well I think it was last year. I was scrimiging a team and I slid to home and cut up my leg very badly. For months I had this huge cast looking bandage... OH and I wanted to invite you and Ben to play softball possibly In the first week of July? My Uncle from Maine is visiting. He is a Priest so can't visit very often and whenever he comes we set up a HUGE softball game with family and friends. Let me know if ( ... )

Hi :)

I don't believe I know who you are but I am a friend of Betsy's. I went to high school with her and have known her a long time. I played softball when everyone got together last, don't know if you were there. Anyways, I was just intrigued by the comment you made about how your uncle is a priest. That's awesome! I'm catholic myself, that would be really neat to have a priest in the family. And he plays softball! Cool :)

I met Betsy from the play at Delta so that is why you have never heard of me. I'm Stefan, nice to meet you. hahaha... well I'm not all that catholic. I'm split down the middle. My mother's side is catholic and my father's side is greek orthodox. My Uncle is an orthodox Priest so he would be my dads brother, the youngest of the three. I'm very fortunate to have him. My uncle used to be a college professor. He taught sciences. I forgot what specific ones he taught. He decided to pursue religion when he became older. I didn't see him very often then because he went to school in Boston and he would only visit about two times a year. His church is in Bangor, Maine and I can't wait to see him when he visits! I don't know what others think what it would be like to have a priest in the family but it's very kewl. When I spend time with him I don't consider him a priest, but a loving friend that will always be there for me. Choosing a religion is very hard for me! I go to the catholic church every Sunday and hold up the manerisms there ( ... )

nice to meet ya too! lol :) That's interesting about how your family is kind of split, half greek orthodox, half catholic. I don't really know a whole lot about greek orthodox, I think it's related to catholicism, but I could be totally off lol :)

Yeah, I can't imagine you would really think of your uncle like a priest lol :) he's your uncle :) That's neat how he became a priest, and how he used to be a college professor!

Which church do you go to? I go to St. Agnes in Sanford. That's got to be difficult though, kind of switching back and forth between religions, though maybe not lol :)

Yeah, softball is awesome! I used to play in leagues for like 8 years, then betsy started playing and I played with her a couple of times. I wish I could play more.....I'll take you up on playing softball if I can! I'm working at a summer camp so I don't know if I'll be up at camp or not. I should list you as a friend for my lj. Do you mind? You can go ahead and put me on there too.

God Bless in Christ,
Christina

Everyone goes through times like that.

I just went through one.

It was terrible - I felt insane. Manic-Depressive.

But I'm better now. I think it's all part of the mortal mindset. Keep your eyes on God, and nothing can ever be that bad.

If you ever want something to do, gimme a call. I'd love to see you, though I don't promise to be much fun. (989) 837-6369

Yes I agree. About your father:
I have often felt that way as well. I know I dont have much in common with my father and conversation always feels kinda weird. This saddens me because I've known him for too long to be a stranger.
But remember, if we all felt so at home at our parents house we'd never leave home and start families and/or have careers to accomplish whatever works god has for us.

Rememeber "that god made them male and female and for this reason a son shall leave his fathers house.."

Rememer also that Love doesnt ALWAYS mean comfort. You love your father and he loves you. Thats how its supposed to be.

I will pray
