Hi Lelu ,
It's good to have another friend in this world!! Do you prefer Jim over James??
James sounds so British. It workes for Sean Conery, naaaaa. I like Jim.
Where are you from anyways?
Sacramento
I totally planned on getting up and getting to work early today, but then I got so involved reading and writing and philosphing with different people on here I have literally lost most of the day.
I know it seems that way. I feel that way too sometimes but everything you do expands your vocabulary in your humanness. Plus, by relaxing your mind, you might be able to write a more powerful piece when you return to write the next day.
The uncertainty of making any living as a thinker/writer/poet terrifies and I feel guilty, like I should not just be sitting here on my phone all day doing what I enjoy when I have so much to make up for.
I can tell you that I know for a fact that you should never scold yourself for enjoying life. The only reason we are here is to enjoy life and to love others.
I'm a new writer myself. I haven't been at this very long. Maybe we can think of ideas that might boost your earnings. Maybe my earnings too. I'm not even on the partners program yet.
I am so afraid that by the time I have proven myself sober enough, I'll be homeless and then I won't get them back anyway. Yeah, of course you will get them back. Mind control yourself repeatedly that you will get them back.
Lean on me, let me be your rock . I have ideas.
But it is this which I think is so so important, these connections, that will be somehow more defining and will do more good for our world and myself AND my sobriety, than me going to deliver food to people all night from restaurants, maybe making enough to pay a bill.
This makes me proud to know you. You are busting your hump in a cruel and unforgiving world. The more I know of you , the more I see what a wonderful mensch you are . You are winning with me, Lets fight demons together
I just want to write and help make the world a better place all day from my couch snacking out on Pringles, you know!?
You are a hard-core empath. I feel so lucky. You dear sweet girl, you make the word a better place just by being in it. I have an advantage over you. I don't see you thru Lelu colored glasses. Just take little bites of problems...........
Not the whole forest at once, just one tree at a time .
Well now I've written you a novel! Haha!! I just wish I didn't feel guilty for doing something I love, that makes me feel like I am contributing and useful! I guess God/whoever you belief in, if you do, wants us to really come to understand something, and I guess I feel like I'm here on the brink of it but I still has a ways to go before I am completely understanding him/her and what he/she truly wants. What is your take on religion? Do you have any theory's on what the purpose of all this is??
I would say I have only been fiddling with Jesus for a year now. It really got my attention when I was asking for a thing and got it. I have a religious playlist that gives me shivers. "What if God Was One Of Us "
