I squat, flat footed, with my rear resting against my ankles instead of sitting Indian style as most would prefer if at that level. Ps. Julia, you shouldn’t feel so gloom. Whoever is causing you this grief isn’t worth it. We love you!

*raise*, heya Jewel!

I’m 22 & have been single for 3 years, I feel ya! I’ve only had one serious girlfriend, and it lasted just over a year. From that relationship and afterwards, watching my parents divorce, seeing my brother get married, and watching my friends experiment, I’ve taken an important message/lesson that I carry with me whenever I’m feeling gloom about being lonely. Everyone in the world needs pick-me-ups. Let’s call this “a need for energy”. Most people feel they can get this energy only from other people; parents, friends, enemies, etc. This is the reason we live like we do now, everyone’s reaching out for it, or stealing it from others. A bully may steal energy from you by intimidating you. Someone else may put down your ideas, grabbing energy by validating their own views in the process. Unconsciously we’re all part of a control drama of some sort to get this energy. When single, a lot of people fall into one of these, & feel they can only get that “missing energy” from a partner; but this couldn’t be further from the truth. In my opinion one must be a “complete circle” on his/her own before they dive into a relationship. Everyone’s got problems, but if you’re not as complete as possible, purely dependant on the energy we all hold within, than the relationship will eventually almost always collapse in a tug-a-war for it. If you think about it logically, it makes perfect sense. If person 1 has problems, and person 2 has problems, and both people feel the other should be there to ease these problems. There will be major disappointment, because only you can slay your own demons. By putting the responsibility on someone else you’re just slowing down your development as an individual & as a couple. This is because now person 1’s problems are now person 2’s, and vise versa. These are the issues that plague relationships from the beginning, & while relationships can get past them, most of the time they’re just suppressed a while, but eventually they come apparent & do destroy the couple. The perfect relationship in my eyes would include two complete circles, meaning they don’t need the other in order to feel complete & stable. Then the two people wouldn’t have to deal with any struggle for energy & could concentrate on more important, productive things – Like loving each other unconditionally & moving forward as a pair. I'm not saying I'm a complete circle, or that I'm not lonely… but taking these things into consideration helps me put my situation into a better perspective. This is as good as I’m able to sum up my feelings on the subject. It makes sense in my head, but on paper it’s hard to explain; let’s see if anyone picks up on this ^.^

*starts to chain smoke*

The following quote is from Good Will Hunting. Unfortunately it’s not really advice, just a great moment in an awesome movie. It shows how easy meeting a girl *should* be.. Personally, I approach girls differently than most. I don’t *lust* after someone based off a first impression. In the past, when I was ever interested in a girl, it was because there was a friendship first. Making new friends is what makes life fun, at least for me… Once this sequence is understood, the break down helps me move past that friend-barrier without the nervousness that comes with asking out a new girl. Making a *friend*, regardless of what the future may hold, is simple. Build off a common interest or mutual friend. When nothing’s on the line, people allow themselves to open up easier. When dating someone you don’t know very well, you watch your words to exchange the right impressions, etc. It’s just too much trouble in my opinion - Friends before all else.

I don't know, just the usual cold symptoms gettin' too me I guess. I'm just not all there, ya know. I can't think straight with a head full of snot. :confused:
