I thought it would be good to start a thread which allowed members to "vent" their raw emotions. Not anger per se, but feelings that they want to express without going into too much detail about who, what, where, when etc.

Think of your posts as the pages in your diary. You can be as detailed or vague as you want - no questions. Just let it flow.

I'll start...

Do you ever find yourself scared to dream? When you want something so much, but you're scared that it will never come to you. You switch from optimism to pessimism, pessimism to optimism and the cycle continues. I want to believe in success. I want to believe that all the things I desire in life are possible; but what if I don't get it and I fail? What if I'm left hoping and then nothing? What if I get the same type of news that stops me and makes me scared to believe in anything. News I don't expect. News that comes so out of the blue. News that cannot be denied. News that changes the course of things forever. What if the news makes it hard to comeback? The news hurt me, and made it hard for me to think, retain and manifest the possibilities of optimism. Perhaps I'm still in shock. How long does shock last for? Now, I'm paralysed by fear and I am scared to dream.

Like vaguebooking? I don't know if I can do that.

I love how something that distracted me from soul-crushing daily life, and amused me for a while, was trashed by people who feel superior. I stopped thinking about cancer for a while. I stopped worrying about everything, and relaxed. But, yes, it's a waste of time, and balderdash.

I would rather get all of the many hours, days, weeks, YEARS back, that have been stolen by drama, anger, fear, somebody else's greed and selfishness or assumptions, and damn it, that f'king thing called death.

I'm sick of Negative Nancies! So done with people who do NOTHING and have NOTHING better to do than complain! People who don't try yet expect everything to be handed to them, as if the world revolves around them and we all abide by what they say. People unable to ever be happy who then ruin the happiness of others, I mean is your life that unappealing and miserable. People who have to put others down in order to feel better about themselves. Faithless heathens who criticize, judge and disrespect those who do believe and have faith in a God. People who constantly blame others for their problems or mishaps. I'm sick of the narrow-minded individuals that flock to the Internet ruining the experience. You will never see or experience more ignorance like you will on the Internet and I'm so done with it. The bullying and unhealthy behaviors of so many Internet users disgusts me.

I wish more people lived instead of living their lives online, living their lives trying to please or one-up others. We can only please so many and we're only here for so long. I wish more people strived to be happier, strived to make someone else happy.

I'm not angry just wish people appreciated life. We'll be old and wrinkly, ready to go before we know it. There are so many out there with far less who actually appreciate the little they do have. There are so many that are sick and it makes my heartache. Those of us who are healthy should be more appreciative because it could easily be us or someone we love living their last days.

Thought I would share this, as I believe that it is increasingly important.

I wasn't trashing the thread ... But I can see though how the # may have been offensive to you. I'm sorry I did offend you as I generally hate people dismissing others threads and it was carelessness that I expressed it that way. It was about the Twitter people and genuinely thinking people were being (can't think of the word) that I was directing that to.

I'm also sorry about my response after. It was harsh and I didn't get where you were coming from but now I do. If I could take it back I would but anyway ... Am sorry about the thread.

I found real love. I waited a long time, cried my eyeballs out repeatedly but finally I found it. It's not easy and it's not perfect, but it's real and it's healing. Love is truly grandiose!

To bury something so close to me. So beautifully constructed and wonderfully made is difficult. But today, after everything, she (because I always imagined it to be a girl) has been lowered into the ground. The flowers have been thrown on and around her and give her to the Lord. I ask him to keep her and bless her because she is so dear to me and I didn't think that I would be saying goodbye so soon.

I am intrigued by someone at work. I remember checking him out and feeling guilty when I first saw him.

I remember introducing myself to him.

Don't see him at work too often, but he has made kind offers.
He took time out of his day to get me coffee creamer when there was none. I was having a stressful day too. So it meant a lot to me, and was slightly intrigued where he got them and how much trouble it was for him?

I told him I had I migraine a few days ago, and he asked me if I was okay to drive?

That night I became more curious than ever about his kind offers, and am starting to get turned on by it.

I really don't know much about him.

Do ever look at your environment, and wonder where there fire went? I wonder how I ended up here, how I have ended up feeling so exposed. So naked. With nothing to show for it.

I wrote something for you the other day, and I was so excited to show you how far I had come; but you took that away from me. I wonder if it would have gone differently, if I handled things differently. How could it have been different, if you were still acting the same? If not worse?

There's a lot of cross words. So many things that I could have said; but there's nothing else that I can physically bring myself to say. There is distance, and I only suspect that it will increase.

There are so many tears; but the betrayal defeated me. You never really knew me at all.

i wasnt afraid to dream. i was afraid of not dreaming. of not waking up in the morning and having something to loose myself fully in. but maybe i was afraid to dream and those dreams not becoming a reality. and afraid that only love is real and not having anyone that loved me as me. and knew me as me. and having someone i loved just as him. a first love. and even though nothing can stop destiny there are fears and doubts about having the dream and having it all. but its the craziness of first love that can test everything you believe and if its not real than love wasnt real. it wasnt real love. but how to test your familys love those bonds even with fears and doubts of seeing things through. i am not sure. as there are doubts and fears even when only love is real. but i think there are bonds made that can be tested with fears and doubts when you see things through and i just let the day unfold without any expectations but have that goal in mind to see things through.i feel that tests if love is real and only love is real.

i want that. raw passion. raw desire. i want that type of passion of the Christ. and to strive for that excellence and perfection. i want that in my shampoo. i want on my skin as perfume. and the smell in her hair. and what would fear of dreams smell like taste like. yes i like to go into my dreamworld and just flow with these emotions raw emotions like an ocean or a peaceful river with no ripples but undercurrents. but ripples when a stone is thrown in. i like to see ripples. and imagine myself being that ripple and how it would feel like. and go into the ocean and feel the salt be absorbed into my pores and feel the sand between my toes. than float in the ocean and imagine what it would like to be the ocean. and take time to smell the roses and not worry about the bull in the china store.
