Fear is an irrational response to not being about to predict an outcome. Fear of the dark is an irrational thought that there is something waiting for you in an unseen space. Hight’s, will you fall and get injured… name the fear and you can resolve it down to an irrational response to an unknown outcome.

The line from Dune that is told to Paul and he continues to repeat to himself ‘Fear is a mind killer’, is a truth most of us are unwilling to acknowledge.

Don’t predict the worst possible future and recognize that even that worst outcome may not be a bad as you may think.

I really don’t know how to address this question, I have been comfortably uncomfortable for so long that joy is something I don’t even understand. Every day is the same walk through this existence and to quote another Pink Floyd reference ‘ all in all just another brick in the wall’. I realize that this is bummer response to today’s query but honest answers aren’t always pretty.

I do the same thing everyday, up early, work, nothing, nothing, eat, bed…. Really no life just a routine.

I feel that I know how to be a friend but honestly don’t have many or any friends. I have associates and contemporaries but really only one friend and she is on the opposite side of the country. A person that is around for good times and seems to always need a favor but desert you in a time of stress and always has an excuse when you need help is not a friend. I am always the person who is willing to help or be a shoulder to cry on but haven’t found in another and at 57 I really have stopped trying.

Wow this really isn’t the way the algorithm wanted this to be answered.

I think of a line from 1992 “Wayne’s World” Wayne says he has had lots of jobs… meaning that he had a lot of name tags and paper hats.

Can’t say that I have ever worked in fast food but I have done a myriad of different jobs in different vocations. In high school I worked at a PX in the audiovisual department in college I sold suits at Nordstrom‘s. I was in the military as a supply specialist. After leaving the military, I tended bar and waited tables then ran a tanning salon and the gym. After that moving to DC, I was an area manager for GNC locations then wrote mortgages for a while got my insurance license sold for very short period of time, sold cars then went back to school for respiratory therapy and became a respiratory therapist. Worked in hospitals for a few years and then transitioned to be an instructor at a respiratory school teaching future respiratory therapists was an educator at a hospital with all the staff updating them on new processes in the respiratory field.

Now from frustration of dealing with the corporate world and the way things don’t work in our healthcare system. I work for myself and I’m a rideshare operator and I’ve been doing that now for almost 8 years so you can say I have a very short attention span and get bored easily But I’m having fun doing it

I have a questionable view of religion, in today’s world it’s both a crutch and a prison. The extremes want to use their religion as a hammer against anyone who they deem unworthy and don’t actually read or refuse to understand the meaning of the lessons that the book they profess to follow.

You don’t have to follow a faith: religion to be Kind, so believe what ever you want but don’t disparage another for not sharing your belief, just be Kind.

I know more atheists that are better Christians than the Christians that I know.

I absolutely remember before the internet and in some ways miss it. I went to high school and college when you had to actually go to the library and check out books to write a paper. Seeing any nudity was an endeavor when I was a young teen, maybe catch a scrambled boob on SkinaMax on cable that my parents were t paying for or were aware of. This generation has access to everything and don’t know the struggles of those of us who had no idea that the World Wide Web was even going to be a thing in the 70s and early 80s… LOL 😂

Instant and unapologetic sarcasm that is my superpower.

I suppose just being satisfied with what you have or where you are in life is a broad definition of having it all. But satisfaction and complacency are two different things. I was married with a child and thought I had it all now I’m divorced and don’t know that a relationship is ever going to be in my future, but it doesn’t define the fact my acknowledging that being alone mean that in some way I can’t be satisfied with where I am.

I’m confused is this person you want to speak to alive or dead or is it they’re just not close to you. If you really want to talk to them soon and they are among the living then you have multiple avenues to contact them via cell phone Skype, regular landline phone, so I’m confused by the question.
