The biggest fear on this Easter Sunday. I'm thinking about Jesus' triumph over death and like a good little introvert I am internalizing this message and seeing if my mind can comprehend such a feat and alas it can't because I'm merely human ( Read more... )

I am having a moment of confusion and since I need to get some work done I figured I'll relive my mind of the usual burden of sorting out my thoughts and put them here. I was talking to someone and it is EXTREMELY clear that we get along, even click in ways that I didn't think would be possible for me with another person. We quickly developed ( Read more... )

I will preface this by saying Tim the clinician isn't meaning to judge but that doesn't exempt me from having my own points of view. Is this really that difficult for people? I seem to remember a time when having open relationships or playing on the side was taboo. Has it just been that people were lying and now there's more honesty? Maybe people ( Read more... )

I was at a double birthday/anniversay/housewarming party this past weekend (The couple just moved to a new place, have birthdays four days apart and started dating two days before the older one's birthday in case you're wondering how that works). There were all sorts of things going on there that I'll leave out as it would take too long to explain ( Read more... )

I am considering what the next step is for me in breaking down some walls. I'm at a place where I'm good with friends and strangers for the most part but when it comes to romance I still tend to push the people away I want to be closest to the most (and by push I mean random periods of not talking to them for no apparent reason unless they ( Read more... )

Well I've been pondering relationships once again lol (guess the MFT thing really is a fit for me). I thought of it partially because of the experiences of friends and myself being interested in someone that lives in the midwest (go figure, after I move a new person emerges of course). I won't go into detail about that too much but I will say ( Read more... )

I met an incredible person. I am truly in disbelief as it's rare I open up to someone as fast as I did and even more rare that I opened up because I clicked with the person. We tend to think a lot alike which is great and I'm hoping there's potential for something to grow. The downside to thinking the same is that a long distance relationship is ( Read more... )

I've been doing a great deal of reading and working since I last updated. I am really enjoying my program (MFT for those that don't know)and have gotten a lot out of it so far. I think the semester overall was a success and I think my experience will be enhanced when I sign up for my own therapy sessions. The only draw to this experience in one ( Read more... )

I adapated when I was younger by self motivating to get good grades. I adapted again after the divorce. I adapted when I got into high school and opted for post secondary classes instead of a social life. I adapated when the dorm or student orgs just weren't cutting it. Now I've adapted by accepting the experience instead of judging myself for ( Read more... )

I was reading The Soloist a bit earlier and started wondering how different things may be if I would've taken a different path after my sophomore year. I have distinct memories of being in fear that my high school was going to close and so I thought about potential career options and one of them at the time was in music since I excelled at it. I ( Read more... )
