It doesn't matter where people live... there are always going to be those who give the rest a bad name.... My father is has dual citizenship.. He served in the US Army... I grew up in Nova Scotia... My youngest brother is a police officer in Florida... I spend time in both Florida and Nova Scotia, and people everywhere seem to make assumptions about other people they know nothing about. For instance... Some people I've met in Florida think we Nova Scotians live in Igloos... YUP... They do.... They think that it's FREEEEZING COLD up here... It's cold..in winter... but it's colder in the winter in Chicago than it is here a lot of the time... People also think Nova Scotians are 'hicks'... Ah well... Such is Life.... I don't get bent all out of shape.... Other Canadians think we're HICKS... AH well... Such is life.
I've met some wonderful people from all over the world, and as my grandpa used to say... There's ALWAYS an arsehole in every bunch.... SO....... Only goes to show there will be a few arseholes in Canada, the US, the UK... etc. etc. etc.....
ANd yer right... Native... Politics SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx the big one...
NO matter what happens in life, there is always some lesson to be learned from it, or some new insight to be obtained.
When one things happens, and it seems to be a bad thing... like a relationship breaks up, and you're very sad... there is a reason (in the scheme of things) for that happening... Probably because there is something better coming, if you can just believe and have FAITH that it will be presented to you.
I truly believe that.
When anything really bad happens to me, I always wonder..."What's the lesson I'm supposed to gain from this".... Even if it's terrible... I wonder okay... is this situation trying to show me that I'm stronger than I think, that no matter what I can go on? If you look deep enough, you will find an answer.
From the bad things that have happened to me in my life (and there have been a few), I now can look back and say... because of those experiences, I've learned I am a survivor, I've become stronger, and more self-sufficient, and I've grown ...emotionally and mentally.
Some people might not be able to do that, and that's okay, but for me, in my journey... it has always worked.
To me, there's a big difference between Clinical Depression (chemical imbalance in the brain), Poor Me syndrome and Situational Depression(depression after a death in the family or loved one for example). POOR ME, is just that... Feeling sorry for oneself when something doesn't go right .... We all go through that... Usually you can get yourself out of that one. Clinical Depression, in many cses, warrants medications. Situational Depression can sometimes warrant short-term meds... Feeling down or blue is not depression. That's my thoughts only, mind you. I'm sure others have their viewpoints....
I would move for someone I love. I don't have children, but I am established here, and it would mean leaving my career here and setting up somewhere new, but as you say Wikked, I'd work out the details as I went along. Life is much too short!
In the past, I have sought counselling, and it was very beneficial to me. It was a proces, for me, whereby I did the actual work, and she guided me and offered other possibilities in how I thought about things, and dealt with them. In the end, I had the tools to work through any problem or issue. The biggest thing I learned is that half the battle in any situation is making a decision to deal with the situation/problem/issue in a constructive manner; I also learned that in a lot of instances how I think about things (ie., negatively or positively) can influence the outcome...
I didn't seek counselling to be fixed or figure out what was wrong with me. I went because I wanted to put the 'past' to rest and needed someone objective to help me look at it (not relive it), see how it affected me.. and move on...
Well I usually will say if I send one... Just wanted to say hello... Nice smile.. or whatever....
If someone sends me one first, I'll acknowledge it, and if that person then emails and I think there might be some common interest.. I'll answer... If I don't think there might be a common interest, or I'm not attracted to that person, I won't answer the email...
If someone were to persist, I have no problem telling them I'm not interested in them (nicely), or there's always the BLOCK ..........feature...
I agree, nothing wrong with acknowledging it. Just because I send someone a flower, doesn't mean I'm looking to 'hook up' with that person... Let us all RELAX and GET ALONG...
