Cavalero: Not memories, nostalgia for a world that doesn't exist anymore.
You know, I believe that everyone makes their own worlds. As long as you only mingle with the people you choose to, and have a choice to, the world is yours! This obviously depends on if you have to do certain things, in which case you're stuck to mingle with the ones you don't want to too, and then it's Not your chosen world anymore!

I don't want to live in a bubble of my making and ignore real people with real issues because "they don't happen to be in my world". I don't put my head in the sand without thinking my butt is sticking out. I have eyes to see and hear to hear and what I see and hear I cannot simply ignore out of a selfish desire to "feeeeel" good. One must admit there is something wrong to want to stand up and help a situation where a whole family doesn't have electricity, water or food... Good feelings are nothing beneficial if they prevent us from being human to those around us and the strangers we hardly ever think about on a daily basis.

People are all different, with different everything just about, and just a very few things, slightly in common. Most people do charity, and help others, it's the norm, and if you move in those specific circles, you boast about how much you help others. It is those that does not bring up the subject, that mostly do the helping. Why must people always compare?

deedee123xo: If people have tried to do it I've never felt it as I'll be in something if I want and choose....I dont place attachments to people that much....
So, are you saying that if someone says something really down-grading and nasty, to you, that you will just brush it off and ignore it?

Good Luck!!
