In my town, we have a free community shelf/box with a glass door on the front of it, that sits outside in front of one of the local churches very close to where I live. For a couple of years, I have walked there often to donate a variety of things... food, toys, the occasional clothing item...

I'm just popping in real quick to say I'm not the slightest bit offended at anything derailing off-topic, cuz I figure if there's semi-related topics that will help out other people to talk about them, it's all good. I haven't seen any drama or flame wars, so I'm not bothered. I will also just...

First off, please don't get me wrong. I am NOT saying that I condone any form of abuse. And I wouldn't want anyone to stay in any place where they are being harmed physically or otherwise. However... there are some areas where I can't help but feel a bit irritated at how... overly judgmental...

I...guess that does sum it up pretty well. I mean, particularly the part where you said that I didn't face changes as they arose, so I had to face all of them at once while I stagnated. It has also really overwhelmed me at times. I think a huge part of my problem, too, is that I... also...

Scratch that............ apparently I can't send any PMs without a paid subscription, and I can't afford that. ^^; I also don't want to risk looking like a troll by asking something like, "What's your email address?" cuz that sort of thing shouldn't be shared in public and I'd rather not share...

Well... for all I know, you MIGHT be able to offer some advice or insights because... in some ways, this actually has very little to do with Norway or knowing anything about the country itself, because I don't even know much about the country. It's........ sort of a different matter. I'll PM...

Alright well... there is something far deeper and more personal that I would rather not blab about in a public forum. There is a part of me that WOULD like to hear a completely objective opinion/viewpoint, so... if you don't mind me telling you the whole story in a private message, and keep the...

So... if you're anything like me, (which I wholly acknowledge not everyone is lol) you might have been brought up in a heavily sheltered home where censorship was key (anything the slightest bit liberal or even mentioning witchcraft was a no-no), and a specific line of Christian teachings was...

Soooo.... I will admit, over the last couple of days, I have been mulling over the topic of basically how "you need some form of initiation for something to happen", and... maybe in some ways, it has helped me more than you know. Firstly, one thing I ended up remembering after thinking for a...

Well... sometimes, perhaps, because there are some areas where I stubbornly and actively went after what I wanted until I could get it or until I found someone who could help provide it... and who ended up caring enough to want to do some things with me. As for other areas though... they DID...

I just want you to know I did watch the entire video, and I'll probably listen to it again a little later because it sometimes takes me time to fully process and absorb things. ^^; But... overall, I did enjoy the message, especially the part that talk about how the reason why, sometimes, you go...

Yeah... I guess youth is wasted on the young lol. They don't even know how much energy they had until after it begins to slip away.... I guess there have been a few more things I have been thinking about, on the topic of... well, how people change, and what happens when other people meet...

First of all, thank you everyone who posted in this thread, you all have wonderful insights and every post has helped me in some way. :) For the moment... the only thing I would like to touch base on is the segment of one post that stated that maybe I should look at each area of my past in a...

This is another post/thread where... I admittedly am not quite sure what I am looking for. TBH, I am not even sure what it is I want exactly. This may also end up becoming a post that is so diluted or convoluted that maybe... it will not even make sense to anyone by the time I'm done. I'm also a...

Yeah, I still remember a couple of acquaintances in my town talking a few years ago about how divorces happen 50% of the time these days... and there's a lot of broken families because of it. Sometimes... I wonder how worth it it really is. Especially since I've known plenty of people who have...

This actually helped me quite a bit. It reminds me of something that a Christian preacher said on the radio a loooong time ago, where maybe part of the reason why it takes so long for some people's lives to get going depends on the stubbornness of the individual and how much training it...

I will say that, in the past, I have been guilty of feeling jealous and possessive whenever the object of my affection seemed closer to someone else besides me. (Also... in some ways, even if it is a common phrase, I dislike the term "object of affection", even if I myself use it, because it in...

I just thought I'd try starting a thread or two or promote some thoughtful discussion.. and because I am genuinely curious what other people have to say, from their own wisdom and experiences. ^^; So here's the question, (especially since I am still struggling with this myself...) Well... why...

Well, maybe I'll end up in Norway during my 40's then if it is truly something that is meant to be lol. (Which is still doubtful, but for some reason I'm hopeful.) Anyway I get what you're saying. Many years ago, I once had a friend who went through some terrible things, and since she never...

I guess there is another thing I have been really struggling with. Perhaps... it is still a normal thing that has to do with being in your thirties after a rather... wild decade of being young and somewhat rowdy in my twenties. I don't know if this will sound stupid or a bit childish or...
