stress

[lemonbeanloo]

I'm having a really bad stress day. I even had to skip class tonight from 6-10pm because I was going insane inside and school was not the most relaxing environment for me to be in

I'm sorry L. Life just moves so quickly sometimes... I definately understand the feeling though. Last week was my stress week, and I can't shake the feeling this week, even if there is no reason. Sounds like you need a good walk in the park somewhere, or to hang somewhere new and comfortable where life can feel different for a while. I might know of some places like that... wish there's something I could/can do for ya.

Maybe you can take some time on the last day of the week and do nothing productive, alone or with someone, whichever feels like the right thing. One thing I've learned is there is often time if you really, really need it. I wish I could go rummaging around for some inner calm and send it to you through the digital relays... let's pretend I just did - the imagination is a powerful thing.

I was wondering why you disappeared tonight. All I heard was that you weren't feeling well. Anyways, I hope the time off helped. Or at least stopped things from getting worse. If you're at school tomorrow, pull me aside anytime if you want to talk. Maybe I'll even do a silly jig for your amusement.

A few weeks ago, something from my past was brought up... and yes it's the past and it's over with now but bringing it up not only stressed me out but it just ate away at my thoughts... no matter who I was with or what I was doing, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. And it wasn't something that I could just talk to anyone about! In my situation it was something that I had 2 choices, drag up the past or forgive myself for it or else it was just going to keep coming back up. Either way, I had to deal with it. I definitely know how you feel.

It's because we are so brilliant

Or at least that's what I tell myself. Every day I'm plagued by thoughts I'd rather not have, and memories I don't want to keep. And I've decided that the only rational explanation is that I am a genius. Clearly, you are a genius too. So hurray for us! (Ditto on the singing an album. My personal favourites would be anything by Neil Diamond, Arcade Fire, or Backstreet Boys. Oh yeah - the BSB knows how to soothe me).

On the spectrum of ignorance, genius and enlightenment, I'm convinced that genius (the middle) is the worst place to be, unless you're heading for enlightenment. Stopping at genius is like 'resting' in the water between lush tropical islands...

Way to wade in and kill the buzz dood. We can't all be the Buddha.

Sorry, damn graininess is always gettin under the shell. Didn't mean that as a dig either, I'm treading water even as I write this. And it's Lani, the swimming instructor, who has reminded me so recently how to tread and keep my head above the ripples...

And you're wrong - you are the Buddha.

Here's something relevant.

"This is your life.... right now. It doesn't wait for you to get back on your feet."

I saw that in a movie last night, it's been stuck in my brain since.... Weird, how people can have such corrolating dilemnas, with such parallel existances.

Lol, then again... It's probably not so far fetched... ha.
