I hate to say it...but damn...that's fucked up. I guess the good thing is, that she's still around, and maybe she'll turn a new leaf down the road or something. I don't know....but it would be a good thing if it happened. I'll admit, I get superficial at times, but I don't think I could ever be like that. |

Thanks both of you |

Damn it, i hate when i'm up, and 2 hours later i know i dreamt of something...but can't get it to recall!! |

I hate how much anxiety I have. I have two deadlines approaching on my novel work, and my day job slowed down so much I have time to write my novel at work, which I really, really hate to do. I feel stressed... |

Yep, and almost always something comes up that just fucks it. Today, for example, my wife made me cut the grass before it rained, though she knew I had to write. Then the lawn mower breaks. I'm more stressed about the lack of work at work, since I should hit my deadlines without a problem. |

I really hate my job. Even after all I did to get our department in order they can't stomach paying me more. |

Work is a weird thing. A lot of places want the best possible employee for the least amount of money, which is what plenty settle for at first. Then, they ride us until we break and still expect a high level of quality. |

No kidding. Seems to be that way in government jobs especially. I don't get why people don't understand that higher morale = more satisfied, productive, and more likely to stay employees. I've always gotten crap jobs at work because I don't complain, I don't get raises, get paid less than other people for the same job, and they wonder why I quit. What's with some people? |

I agree, but something interesting is that some studies have shown that people will actually work harder if they're paid less. More specifically, they'll like their job more if they're paid less. The reasoning is supposed to be that people have pride. If they're doing a crappy job for a lot of money, they'll justify doing the crappy job by saying they're only doing it for the money, and they'll do poorly at the job because they think it's so bad. But if they're doing a crappy job for only a little money, admitting that they're just a loser will be too much of a hit on their pride. They have to come up with some justification for why they're willing to do the job, and can't really say that it's for the money, so they convince themselves they actually enjoy the job. |

I wouldn't be prideful for a doing a crappy job and repeating it constantly to where it becomes dull and boring for a sense of self-worth, I would just do it for the sake that it keeps a steady income; trying to justify my self-worth as not being a loser or whatever seems kind of useless if you want to have a job that gets you food on the table and basic necessities. If I were to be accepted for a higher paying job, I would have wayyyyy more pride and ambition to work harder than before simply because it's obviously something all people would like. I would be even more motivated to make myself flexible and do hobbies that could get me side money as well. |

Thanks for posting the link, I will check it out sometime. |

Dianeva, I was totally about to post the same study. Beat me to it. I feel like that study though had more to do with past actions than the active ones. My professor explained it like this: the people who got one dollar were alright with that and felt more favorable, but the people who got twenty to tell their friends knew exactly why they said it was more enjoyable. If that makes sense. However the money was paid after the fact. I think I feel more favorably about my jobs since I quit. During though I knew damn well I wasn't happy. Maybe it also has to do with the level of introspection one has too? |

“Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as a friend.”
I stated going for a job that we would enjoy genuinely, which implies that it's something can have our likes/etc. tied with with the job, thus motivating us to work harder and become flexible and be able to do other things we like as well. Which is why I talked about how we're taught that we should go for something we love doing (even if it may be less than something of higher income, which may not be something we like or find something to relate to what we like), but most of the time, what we love are mediocre at best for the work field (example: Video Gaming relating careers, obviously a lot of people would go after that job compared to something like Nanotechnology). |

I'm looking for jobs but because I'm A - 16 and B - still in full time education no one will even consider my applications or every job I find is full time. |

Goals
- Think of some more goals[]
So im currently trying to get over my damn general anxiety I've inherited over the past few years. Im 6 months clean from a pain pill addiction which is awesome and is something I will never go back to. I've always been somewhat shy but i had a good time in high school and im pretty sure my anxiety started when i for some reason got really nervous reading in front of the class, which had never happened to me before. Im guessing it was because I wasn't really friends with a lot of people in that particular class. Anyway, im almost 24 now and am pretty much starting over from where i left off graduating high school since my drug use took a few years away from me. Im almost done with my general in college and decided to go into radiology, but my anxiety has stopped me from taking classes and doing well in school. My first year of college was fine, so i know my drug use has messed with me probably because at one point i didn't go out that much. Im starting to feel a little more confident though, but i still have a little self image issue. You see, i can shut my lips together, but a lot of time my mouth stays open and about half my front teeth show and for some random reason it started bothering me. I dont even know when and why i started worrying about that, but im slowly starting to get more comfortable with myself like i use to. So yea its been a rough few years but i know people are worse off. Its just hard thinking, " oh people are worse off then me so I'll just forgot all my problems i have." Your mind just gets attached to certain ways of thinking once you see a problem with yourself. Well at least for me. Alright that's enough lol, that felt good letting that out. Not that many people close to me know this about me, so it's good to vent lol |

Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

It's kinda weird, I've felt like it has gotten simultaneously better and worse the past two days. Like now when I swallow I get a little pain, but swallowing food and water is much better and doesn't totally feel like I need to pop my chest anymore. Overall better though. Thanks for asking |

I remembered that Emily, the girl I love who's now out of my life until December, said that she's not abandoning me, but she also suggested that I forget about her. I'm just really scared that I'll never speak to her again. Things are getting kind of better, but everyday since her departure from life there's been a time when she's come to mind and my memories of her just get me a bit sad, I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy being like this until December. All I have left of her are photos and a voice message. |

The problem with reading tarot is eventually all you can tell someone is that life is full of a lot of shitty surprises and you can't really prepare for them. People are going to make mistakes, they're going to continue making the same mistakes longer than you hope they will, and they're going to hurt you. The point is not to have a happy life, but to have an open heart. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
