My best friend keeps bragging about her travel experience

posted by Samantha65

I’m honestly getting sick and tired of listening to my best friend who is constantly bragging about how a foreign surfer dude was hitting on her at the beach. During her visit to Australia, she was at that famous beach and apparently this “tall and muscular hunk” approached her and asked if she was single. They exchanged numbers but a few days after that, she flew back here. Since her arrival, she never heard from him again. I wish I could smack her in the face with the truth that there was never going to be anything between them ‘cause one, they’re in a long distance situation and two, she doesn’t even know his name!
Sorry for the rant, I just really needed to get this off my chest. But if you guys have any suggestions and advice for me regarding this, that would be awesome. Thanks a bunch.

Karoii-chan Hello! I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with that friend. Quite obviously, she seems deprived of love. Why don't you ask her that, instead of being a hopeless romantic for someone in a far-away country, why doesn't she try finding herself a person like that in her own region if her beauty is so irresistible? Is it that hard? This might make her pipe down for a while... You could also outright threaten to stop talking to her if she continues bringing up that man in your conversations. Maybe she'll get the hint?

Samantha65 I wish I can be harsh enough to actually tell her that in person but I really want to avoid diminishing whatever self-confidence she has left. Maybe I should invite her to trying dating apps right? Or just give subtle hints that she should walk the talk right here right now. Thanks though!

Karoii-chan ^ I think it'd be better to get her to meet people in real life. Dating apps can't really be trusted from whatever I've seen. Subtle hints would also work. I can understand what you must be feeling... it's never nice to hurt somebody, but sometimes, a bit of force might get the job done. Especially when consolation is offered after applying force - to get her to understand why exactly you were harsh. But it's your wish! You're welcome, it's fine. ^__^

A carrot, an egg and a cup of coffee

Coffee beans

This is an email that my mother received and I thought that I'd share it with all of you.

A carrot, an egg and a cup of coffee.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first pot she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last...

My black life

posted by IsabellaAzuria

I was born
though i shouldn't be
I should have died
I would have died
but i didn't

It would have been better for me to die
and leave this world behind me
it's full of liars and fear

I nearly died twice
Why didn't I?
I would feel so much better now

I would never have been betrayed
by three guys
I would never have seen my mom
lying on the floor and trying to kill herself
I would never have heard my parents
having huge arguments everyday
I would never have known what it's like
to live without money
I would never have been the daydreamer
everybody makes fun of

But then I thought god would have mercy
he sent me one...

Born to be Awesome

Untitled Poem

posted by Cinders

I wrote this a while ago, and since it seems to be nothing but a series of advice, I figured... what the hell? I think I was listening to LeAnne Womack's "I Hope You Dance" at the time because that's what it sounds like.

When you look up at the sky, don't do it just to see if it's raining
When you find it is raining, don't run indoors and hide
When you get your hopes too high, don't say you're overrated
When you walk down by a river, don't be afraid to get your feet wet
When your fire goes out, don't blame it on the wind
When you watch the sunset, don't think the day is over
When you reach out to...
