I think a sincere smile and warm hello can do wonders for any neighbor, friend or even stranger. You never know how one’s day may be going, it may be rough already and perhaps a rude gesture or attitude from someone would be enough to just push them over the edge. On the other hand, a great smile or hello can be the greatest thing they felt all day and can pull them back from that edge.
There really is no point in being unfriendly to people and taking out your frustration on them.. especially if you do not know their background and what they are already dealing with.
Personal experiences. I will let this go for now.

Watching a movie late at night, playing a game, having long conversations and eating good food do wonders for stress, tension, loneliness and just plain boredom. When it’s quiet at night and the children are sleeping this gives me the time to just free my mind and live for myself. I actually get the time to indulge in something and just feel free. As it gets later into the day i begin to look forward to this time, I reminisce about it.
It becomes dark out and I begin to settle the kids down, make sure they’ve had dinner and get them ready for bed. Now they are fast asleep and I get to spend some time to myself.. I miss them immediately but I know that they are safe and close by. Now I get to spend some time to myself. Or do I? No, the time doesn’t come.. day after day it does not come, instead I drift away to sleep land. Of course sleep is good but.. it’s just not the same.
The whole point is that every single person in this world needs time to themselves, even if it is an hour. This time should be devoted to whatever the person wants, anything they enjoy. It does wonders for the human mind. Consequences and repercussions are great otherwise.

I’m really not quite sure what everyone else thinks about being a parent and in my case a mom, but it actually is a job. I love it and am not complaining at all but it requires lots of love, compassion and care. If it didn’t require all of these things and if I didn’t truly feel them then I wouldn’t bother with any motherly duties.. but that isn’t the case! I love my family with all my heart.
Right now I am not working or going to school. I am due in 2 months and take care of my daughter. I change her, feed her, get her to sleep, make sure she’s happy, play with her and take her places. I also make sure everything is clean (sanitary) and tidy around here, plus I cook! I guess I kinda have 2 jobs right now. I also plan on going to school and seeking a career later but at this point in time that is not happening. What I am really getting at is that Tom doesn’t really help with any of these things I do. These things are what I do and what he does is make money online.
But the thing is I do all of those things along with helping out with tiny things with his websites and online also. If I can make time for both then why can’t he? I think that me and my daughter both deserve that. I want him to want to spend time with us because he loves us not because we get in an argument about it. It’s just so hard to understand anymore. If I actually went out and had a job.. for example if I were a teacher, I would come home and any time where I wasn’t at work would still be devoted to loving and caring for my daughter along with anything that needed to be done to the house. He would still not partake in any of this.
I just feel like I’m traveling further and further away from a friend. I feel like there is no point in addressing my feelings anymore because I’m blown off while talking and 1 second after I walk away every point I made is forgotten. There’s just something wrong there. Just the fact that this happens points out a more major issue than being too busy working. No matter how much time he does get to work, It’s never enough. He tells me so. But that’s a whole other issue. A job like his, where you work at home all the time can be tough to get the time you need alone sometimes but there comes a time where someone just exaggerates a tiny bit… and that time has already come!
It’s starting to seem like even doctors who deliver babies spend more time with their families if they have them or at least they want to! He doesn’t even want to! That’s the whole problem. The obviousness is the problem! Ugh I’m just so frustrated. I just wish he’d be slightly more spontaneous and do things for us because he cares.

what the hell is insanity? who is permitted to diagnose such a thing? is insanity a loop of never ending pain that one reflects in such an organized and efficient way in their mind but is completely aimless and “insane” to the rest of the world?
