figurativeme Hi dazzledlady... Our dreams can be magnets that pushes us through and moves us to great lengths, I agree. And sometimes, taking chances is what makes it more interesting. I also agree that taking chances should be a calculated risk. I suppose, it was...

figurativeme Hi wittynet... I suppose you are right. Whatever makes one happy, the consequence can come later and will be dealt with when it comes. And it is an experience that does not happen often and to everyone. So it is perhaps worth it. Right now, she is basking...

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by a situation that your emotions got the best of you? Whether you became highly upset? perhaps you lost your temper? Or you just cried your eyes out? Circumstances and situations like that are...

figurativeme Lots of time actually, and mostly lately. Lol! Times like these, I sometimes find it so difficult to control my temper and I have to do extra extra effort to keep my temper down or I would ruin a relationship. So I just turn my back and walk away, instead....

figurativeme Hi ecaron… Going through mylot discussions and responses is already an action against depression, even if nothing grabs your fancy. I do that also when I am down and I just breeze through. Whiles away the time and also therapeutic. And you are right, there...

figurativeme Hi Syoti… Losing someone dear to you is beyond words. Words simply cannot capture what it feels like inside. But you can be with your brother and connect emotionally by being sensitive to his needs. If what he needs is simply your presence, you are there....

figurativeme You wanted it and saved for it so I guess you don’t have to ask anybody permission to buy an item. Sometimes I feel like this, wanting to buy something and waiting till the money is there but holding back feeling I could use it for something else. I end up...

figurativeme When I was a baby I was sickly. So my mother added a second name and named me after a saint. I don't claim to be saintly but I guess I am not sickly. I dunno if naming me after that saint did it.

figurativeme I agree with you in that we see the faults ourselves and we don't like some things he mentioned in his video. I look at it the positive way....like being resourceful by putting a drum on a manhole. When I come across a restaurant that looks...
