I definitely really needed to hear this today as my mind often loves to try to get me to seriously doubt if it’s “really true” or not.

Well, I'd seriously doubt if all of us could be so collectively such remarkably good liars! And convincing, at that.. @JMG

 

[MisterBGone]

Tysm for your help with those tags Inno I appreciate it a lot! Love all those awesome quotes/motivational pics you posted too, and wanted to give an especially heartfelt thank you for this one in particular (that I’ve quoted here I mean) I definitely really needed to hear this today as my mind often loves to try to get me to seriously doubt if it’s “really true” or not.


Tysm CG for replying and I enjoyed reading ALL of what you wrote in your post of course, just quoted this part in particular since it was addressed specifically to me and also to say thank you so much for the kind support about the questions! I wasn’t sure if people would find the questions a bit bland or what types of questions would be best (made them fairly “general” after all, lol) but ya just wanted them to have a good amount of “flexibility” for people to reveal what they felt like revealing but without the q’s being too “prying” or “specific” about anything, lol. The kinds I would love to post a lot more of would be ones asking about “what do you think about _____?”, or asking about specific beliefs/opinions about various things in life (and death) but ya don’t want to be making people feel uncomfortable if it’s things they “don’t like to talk about” and stuff like that. Thanks again for your support with them though I really do appreciate it a lot

Yes, next time, would you please include topics of interest, such as abortion & the death penalty/or capital punishment, if you (would) please. . only joking of course!

wow! how overwhelm overwhelms! as you now might suspect ive been quite overwhelmed of late! that is why i'm so late in arriving here.

I choose pic #1 (& secretly i see it as custom made for me) - most definitely a big yes to this one. - but wait, overwhelm obscures my vision. I see more pics. so i also choose pic #2 and #3 and so on!!! and Qs too. OMG JMG, i love questions! let me calm myself ! thanks @JMG and @Innocent Forever for the tags and helping me rein in my distressors.

1. How are you feeling right now?
well, you might think i'll say distressed but even though i'm fairly late to the Café, i am happy to see it still open and happier as indicated above. I can't let the difficult things of life keep me down.

2. What are some things you enjoy talking about?
me me me! (( actually do that - quite ashamed to admit!!! )) but also i get stuck on the taboo at times - such as religion and politics in inappropriate times and places. but i also find it essential to talk about shortcomings in mental healthcare and brainstorming on ways to improve it. and... i love to talk about dandelions and planets far away ntm gender transitioning and all the bumps in the road and really nice places as well - and my journey and comparing it to others i encounter around and how good it feels to know there is acceptance happinging even in the face of existing nonacceptance. ,

3. What are some things you enjoy doing?
writing poetry and prose, eating delicious stuff like what gets served in Jim's Café, walking in the park, doing some cooking myself and of course enjoying this planet's amazing music from all over...

4. What is your fave season?
Spring & Autumn in this order during Spring. And Autum & Spring in this order during Autumn.

5. Is there anything else you feel like talking about? If so, feel free to talk about it here! Yeah! wishing everyone a happy week (sorry i was too late for sunday). and of course a wish for all the peace, healing and happiness to all. 👽

I'm having coffee so I don't know except grateful that my current landlord is letting me stay after weeks ago saying I'm leaving
I see above it's funny.. yes I enjoy talking about me me me too, we are all the same I think. Otherwise, I like looking into religion and old myths, stoicism, learning.
I enjoy music

I'm lost already as to the questions lol
Oh, summer, a bit of spring is my favourite season
Can I share a picture? I was so sore on the golf cart I pulled over in the middle of nowhere to see an iguana. The pic is of poor quality because I had to buy a cheap phone an alcatel when I was on vacation in Belize.

Yeah! i don't think i ever see this Healing thought getting said and i wish it would be said way more than just the trauma part! Sometimes healthcare gets stuck in the negative too. So happy Inno you posted this. 👽

 

[Holding my breath]

Wow! This is AMA-Z-ING @Holding my breath !!! : D And regardless of where things currently stand... Nonetheless~ to be applauded & celebrated; for, I can only IMAGINE the Skill with which you possess with those wonderful students/kids - I'd bet it is a 'Gift,' in a way? Or obviously one that has been harnessed, and cultivated from a deep sense of passion & then the pride with which you'd utilized those talents to bring about a fabulous connection, I'm sure, that was only magical in their eyes!! So, that's more than most can say~ ;^)

😊 thank you. Xx

[JMG]

Tysm MrB! I just get kinda confused at times by my mind and the mean things it says/thinks and tries to get me to believe, but yes you are right that from all the kind members here who have said nice/encouraging and supportive things to me here that I need to use those as part of the fuel to get my mind to “stfu” lol :p (when it’s being mean to me like that anyway).

Lol about those topics you suggested too! Too funny, and ya ha well really not looking to get banned or have my cafes deleted (or edited for that matter!) but if ever I was wanting those things then yup those are all great suggestions for sure :p

Ysw Astrid78, and thank you for that kind compliment about the cafe too, glad you like it

Love the pic of the iguana there toomuchreality, and yes as MrB said, good eye.

Thanks so much for replying dandelion s, loved reading your answers to the questions! Also, no such thing as “late” to the cafe, cos as I always say “better late than never” lol Hope you and everyone else are well and feeling good today!

 

[Javier]

Thank you for tagging me, @JMG. I wish you and everyone else a peaceful Easter.

Now, regarding the questions:
1. How are you feeling right now?
I'm doing fine, thank you for asking. How are you?

2. What are some things you enjoy talking about?
I don't talk much. Speaking with me is as exciting as exchanging words with a wall.

3. What are some things you enjoy doing?
I like taking pictures from time to time. Also I like drinking, idealy with friends.

4. What is your fave season?
I suppose it would be spring. The days finally turn warmer and everything blooms. Gives me the chance to take pictures of the flowers covered in rain.

An ex who is dead now told me they believed this too. Also, that if a person saves one animal from the shelter, and loves and cares for it for its entire life, that's sufficient to have created a net positive.

It certainly was for the animal. You would have to totally ruin several lives to counter that.

It certainly was for the animal. You would have to totally ruin several lives to counter that.

I agree. There is only a certain amount that a person can do without giving over themselves. Do as you can and have a feeling to. You can't save all, so whatever you do that benefits another living creature should be celebrated.
