    Let's add one more to your sheep counting and I'll leave it at that.

    In the movie "Spirit of St. Louis" movie, Jimmy Stewart (A former pilot himself - flew B-17's in WWII) notices a fly in the cockpit and wonders if the fly adds to the weight of the aircraft as it flies about inside the plane.

    When enough people lie about you and misunderstand you it sometimes gets hard to know who you are and to understand yourself. I'm not sure if that makes sense to anyone, but its something I grapple with.

    Its hard to accept myself when so many other people do not accept me.
    It does happen that way. They make you believe they know you better than you know yourself and they often succeed because one allows it. It's a sort of legal social brainwash against which developing a carapace is fundamental; something easier said than done.

    @ Darcy- I can understand because that's happened to someone in my family. It is extremely painful and disturbing even to see this. Some people suggest to ignore those malicious voices; as if you really can. Nonsense! So I've learned from that experience that if you want to stay who you are and to understand yourself, you've to express yourself, talk about yourself, counter their rumors with truth. It's not easy but a slow healing process. You can't change everyone's mind but some will surely come to understand you.

    Thats it - I'm going to be a statue!
    Are you? LOL
    Oh no but why?!! LOL

    You make good points. But I'm non-confrontational, and so I just let them go on spouting rumours. Now people know I have issues with dark suicidal thoughts they might shut up out of pity, but I doubt it. Most people see weakness and pounce like rabid dogs.

    Thank you for caring.

    Darcy man, keep up the struggle! I like to say-keep on keepin' on. No one to take care of us except ourselves... and all the usual BS that goes with this.

    Despite tomorrow being the last day before school starts, everything is super! (And I mean that with a Jim Carey exhalation.)

    Yes. It's called watery wine, or wet wine in the vernacular.

    Also I didn't turn into a statue, but I certainly slept like a log. At least I did until I woke up and realised I was still asleep.

    Flies On A Flyer? Sounds like a scary movie indeed...

    Watery wine and not winy water oh good

    Mystyr haha I am glad you are not a statue and I never thought you were either

    Scary movie never heard of it not that I understand the title either.
    What does a fly on a flyer mean?
    A flie hovering on a saucer?

    Oh and what do you call white wine mixed with red? not a combo right?
