i tried to be the strength for all my friends, but it got to the point where i couldnt deal with it anymore, constantly bailing them out,being their support system, and being a way to gather strength. sooner or later you will run out of strength yourself. and it sucks to get to that point, cause you feel worse than anything and have not a clue what to do about it.


The most helpful hand is at the end of your own arm....



especially when it comes to "the first two" dates


You wait two dates? I should try that once or twice....:laughing: :laughing:

Maybe then I won't start so many "I went out with this guy slept with him now he won't talk to me" threads... Oh wait that's not me...oops

i invite people to take some things from me. take the experiance i have had, take the wisdom i have learned from my family. take the love of my children. have all the pain that has taught me the way not to do things. have all the words of support i can give. the things you cant take are my memories and my true love. few people see that.

You're going to be on your 6th (do we call this a date) before you do anything more than get your hand kissed by Mr. Shyguy.

Oh no, Mr. Shyguy showed some true colors the other night, and he's back in the "friend zone" NEXT.

He said that women did not make good lawyers because they were too emotional and not logical enough, then put down my best friend because he does Media Editing and that's not a "real" job and then he said that he is better than my ex because my ex only has an undergrad in engineering and he will have his masters in 4 months.....NEXT.

Positive influences in my life have included my family but I believe my children were the most influential. Loving them gave me more than any other person could have given.

I know it will sound ridiculous but my being diagnosed with having MS and struggling for a couple of years was probably the most changing event of my life. The changes were all positive. So I do not think that all positive influences start as positive influences either.:wink: bigsmile

dragoness,, most people who have never witnessed first hand or felt the ravages of a major ailment will never understand. i watched my grandma go from a 5'10 160 lbs woman that emitted nothing but strength to someone who couldnt get out of bed and weighed in at 89 lbs. cancer ate her alive, but she still fought with everything she had. she showed what strength really is. knowing how bad she was hurting and still would do anything she wanted and not let it slow her down

Now we know why quiet and shy is so charming.
Would've been a good MO for him to stick with.

Nice thread!!!

and an important one. Many people say "the past is the past". I don't see life that way. From beginning to the end it is all chapters of the great continuum!!!

She's the reason I'm as outgoing as I am.
And for those that have met me, that should scare you.
scared


You're outgoing? winking :laughing:

You seem pretty damn tame around me!:laughing: :laughing: waving

forget the past and your doomed to repeat it. feed off it and make yourself stronger and live your life like its the last day all the time.

My major influences are my parents, who show me that true love and unconditional support are always a phone call or visit away.....my siblings, especially my brother, Martin who is always there when I need him.

And my true friends in real life and the ones that I have met on here, such as you, Thumper, and Suz, among others. Friends who sit back and let me vent on them over stupid things I can't say out loud for fear of others not understanding me.

And, of course, Jon......the biggest set of shoulders I have ever cried on, that I know will always be there for me.:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
