I also changed or maybe became who I really am after my divorce. My ex was not really dominating me but expected me to dress and behave according to what he decided was right. I did not agree but tried to stick to the rules in order to avoid confrontation. Doing the same to the children was what got to me in the end. Sometimes you sacrifice who you really are when you are with someone. Some can keep it up for ever but most not.
I can relate to what you are saying as I did the same. Start praising yourselve for every little thing you accomplish and don't give too much thought to the things you believe you do wrong.
Owlsway...but you need faith to experience or believe any of this and faith is something I lost little by little over time. Just wondering can you become enlightened and then endarkened again when you loose faith?
I have experienced the same thing on pay sites. You are extremely popular untill you pay. What I also noticed is that a lot of the people who contacted me on the one site are on a couple of other local pay sites as well. Must cost them a fortune....rather think they are just bait and not real at all.
If all the Christians just celebrate Xmas the why they should and not overcrowd the shops with their frenzied shopping us non believer can do our normal shopping in peace. You can't have it both ways. Xmas trees, Santa and gifts are for non believers. Read the Bible and go to church as you should and leave us to do as we like with our day off.
In Vredenburg that use to be my closes town before there is also people doing that. They ask for donations that is then used for gift hampers with treats for poor kids. Assume it also pays for the electricity.
Come visit me then I at least have a reason to cook something nice. Just my son and I this Christmas so not going to bother much about doing something special.
I trust you so much that I am willing to share my pin with you. It is the last 4 digits of a phone number I once had. See very easy as all you have to do is look me up in old SA phone books.
Loulou...not sure what to think of Putin as I know too little but he seems to be really into getting rid of the cancer that can cause the whole world to suffer if not cut out completely.
Nukes are not foractually using. It is just there to intimidate others...unless it is in the hands of some deranged idiot. Putin seems fairly sane and intelligent so don't think we need to worry too much. Just checking quickly how far I am from Syria...for in case.
We still have incidents of witches being killed in our country. Luckily not very often. Still part of the native tradition to believe some illness is caused by a spell by a witch.
