stop feeling lonely (read all 4 entries…)
and um...wow... 2 weeks ago

some of these ‘sponsored links’ are pretty offensive. this one really got me:

Loneliness is for Losers

Being Yourself is Not the Solution.
It’s the Problem. Learn to Change.
www.PopularPrick.com

lofl, what a load of bullshit! I hope people don’t really buy into this crap.

And if you do, take this tip: don’t let people sell you stuff you don’t need by manipulating your emotions.

If you’re lonely, than go to the library or a park or a bar. You can mess up socially all you like, but you’re still only going to get better. Being social is a game, you just need practice. Be genuine, and the problems will work themselves out. Let go and see where things take you, rather than try to make things go the way you want them to.


stop feeling lonely (read all 4 entries…)
this world is full of illusion 2 weeks ago

and the greatest illusion is of separation.
I am content to be by myself, but when others are around me, I love them and relish in their company. I don’t see them often, but when I do, it is wonderful. And that’s better than seeing them so often that the feeling seems dulled.

Imagination helps, when I miss them. I imagine them sitting next to me as I work.


be light on my feet
I am still wondering how one becomes "light on their feet" 2 weeks ago

To be light-footed, to be springy, and agile…

I think of it as having little weight to throw around, but still having a springy muscular structure to handle your body.

Therefore you are light, but also you don’t need a lot of effort to move yourself around. You can bounce, run, sprint and jump with little effort.
