Questions:
1. What do you think is one of your best and worst personality traits?
Best = patience and kindness to friends. Worst = I am not very kind when someone tells me what to do.
2. Do you believe every person on this planet has a purpose?
Yes. I think that criminals serve a purpose, honest people serve a purpose, everyone serves a purpose and has equal value to society.
3. Do you believe everyone has a soulmate?
No. I no longer believe in love. I believe two people can make a contract to stay together and live with each other. If those people are forgiving and patient they can stay together for a long time. You might call this "love" but in reality it is two people who are just looking out for themselves. I believe my mother is the only person who ever loved me. She kicked me out of the house because I had an argument with my sister's boyfriend. I moved in with a mentally deranged man. I thought we could love each other and be friends. One morning I could not wake him up to go to work (we worked at the same place) and he got to work almost late. He gave me 3 days to move out of his house. There is no such thing as love. My roommate and I are good friends now, you could say we love each other. It is just a matter of time before he throws me in the toilet.
4. Do you like reading?
I love reading but I do not read much anymore other than online. James Krenov is my favorite author.
5. How are you feeling right now?
Right now I am tired but staying up late because my talk session with my roommate ran late.
6. What are some of your fave things? (can be anything from things you like to do/hobbies, games, sites, animals, places)
My favorite things right now are Coleman Lanterns. I love woodworking with hand tools as well.
A picture of the wood shop I used to have, gone in the divorce.
One of my latest Coleman lanterns.

1. What do you think is one of your best and worst personality traits?
Calmness is one of the best and lack of patience with things can be one of my worst.
2. Do you believe every person on this planet has a purpose?
Probably so if even being a bad example, that would cover me.
3. Do you believe everyone has a soulmate?
Perhaps others but not me.
4. Do you like reading?
Love it. I have always been that way and when younger the feel of a book, now with my eyesight and a 40" monitor I typically will read more on the PC so I can expand the PDF as big as I need.
5. How are you feeling right now?
Quite well.
6. What are some of your fave things? (can be anything from things you like to do/hobbies, games, sites, animals, places, etc.)
A bit of many things. Humor is a big one for me, also nature and science in most all forms, languages and music.

Hey @JMG its 8:26 PM right now at this moment. by the time i touch āPost replyā itāll be even later! Iām pretty sure iām late to the cafĆ©! I should have called in sick. I have a question i was thinking of posting so I logged in but otherwise i might not have and it might have been tomorrow iād be finding out about the cafĆ©. (iāll ask the question some other time).
well thanks of course JMG for tagging me. and sorry for being so late. right now iāll go ahead with trying to answer the Qs, and i hope it goes ok.
1. What do you think is one of your best and worst personality traits? worst is i allow myself to be ignored and trampled upon by people who know me and have decided something about me that i guess - well i canāt even guess. nevertheless, i always place myself second at best in situations where being second only means being bypassed and ignored. i think i had a flashback i few hours ago on my sometimes daily walk in the park. my best quality is trying to be alive even though i firmly belive my life was stolen from me when i was a little kid - 7 at most.
2. Do you believe every person on this planet has a purpose? for me, this goes beyond ābelieveā. i can only say it is an absolute certainty and not just intellectualizing or something. the very reason we all exist in this place... its a factory... or the place of production of the sublime... and i say sublime simply because i canāt think of the actual word. it probably doesnāt yet exist. sadly, or ironically or oddly... idk, the pain of the purpose is just as important as the joy.
3. Do you believe everyone has a soulmate? a soulmate does not necessarily show up as youād expect - that is, if you think that just because a soulmate exists it doesnāt mean you will have bliss and everlasting love. your soul mate might turn out not so nice due to situations that are just too powerful for your particular situation
4. Do you like reading? well, i would but i have some kind of difficulty with reading and it makes reading a very difficult unhappy tiring thing. i wish it was not this way. iād probably love it passionately otherwise.
5. How are you feeling right now? pretty unhappy.
6. What are some of your fave things? (can be anything from things you like to do/hobbies, games, sites, animals, places, etc.) here, howās this for just one little thing.....
the quality of the image is not that good in picture 1 but the color of the bird is maybe a little better. in picture 2 you can see the bird little better. iāve never seen this bird in real life before and iām not sure what it actually is. probably a type of warbler. i didnāt know they come to this area. i saw it in the park yesterday and again today and even another type that i didnāt know come to nyc. anyway that bird fascinates me simply as a representative of all that i believe in here on earth even when so much else seems to be adverse.
even if you hate the planet a little or a lot, you gotta admit the planet is pretty amazing and its components as well and gotta admit... where it comes from too. fascinating is actually hardly the word for it. yup, hereās one of my favorites.

iām afraid to ask actually. it might not be appropriate for the cafĆ©. yet it is very pertinent to my situation and there are most likely people here who can answer it very well. i probably even know the answer but - can you understand?... i think i need to hear the answer said in real life (or as close to irl as possible) order to proceed with processing something deeply hidden in me that needs to get out.
@extraterrestrialone hey I have a thread called me if you go under my profile and look my threads you might find it . Feel free to ask your question there okay 
I use it to share my thoughts. Maybe it will be easier to share there than maybe here for broader view
