What never ceases to amaze you?

Question

What never ceases to amaze you?

Answer

life itself. . sometimes i am just amazed at how my life can turn sideways and sometimes encounters bumpy roads and slippery slopes. . i guess, its because of all the people that contributes to the development of my growth, and my self, who i always think that can amaze me, for sometimes i know my self but then i dont quite know me. . and it just amazes me how i still can live but others die of suffering, i live to live while others live to die, and i love to live, while others just want to die. . . isnt it amazing how you can change your lifes direction just by rthe flick of your hand? or how we manage to survive, day by day, while others unfortunately dont. i dont know. sometimes my amazement borders on cynicsm and skepticsm, even doubt. that all this is not happening and its all just an imagination. but then, i wake up and pinch myself, and its all real. thats also one of the things that amazes me. im real. this is real.

What Nationality Are You?

Question

What Nationality Are You?

Answer

My nationality is American and nothing else.brbrHowever, my ancestry is a number of things.brbrYour nationality is only one thing unless you have dual citizenship. brbrI had ancestors at the first permanent English settlement in the U.S., the Jamestown colony. I also had ancestors that some people state crossed an ice bridge from East Asia thousands of years ago and were here to meet the Vikings, the English, the Spanish, the French and even St. Brendan. However, a person who was naturalized in a federal courthouse somewhere in the U.S. this past week, their nationality is just as American as mine is.brbrIn the colonial South, they had English, Scots, Scotch Irish, Germans called Dutch in colonial days, and French Huguenots. My maternal grandmother who was born in was a blend of all those people but her nationality was nothing but American. She married my grandfather in , who was a mixture of Pole, Polish Jew, Native American, German with a little English but his nationality was nothing but American.brbrMy fathers people were Irish, orange and green, but the nationality of his people has been nothing but American for many generations.brbrNationality is not the same thing as the country your ancestors came from. That was your ancestors nationality until they became a naturallized American citizen.

I really like reading books that arent bad but really arent helping me learn anything.

Whether thats romantic books youre after, or something a bit more mysterious, is your choice. brAsk your mom for some advice.

I dont feel like I have a meaningful life...?

Question

I dont feel like I have a meaningful life...?
Right now Im a year old college student. My major is International EconomicsBusiness, and Im not really that happy with it. Yeah, I am semiinterested in it, but its not what I want I want to do with my life. The problem is, I dont really know what I do want to do. I just dont know that Im not doing what I want to be doing. Part of me actually wants to drop out of college, but I only have a year left, so its not an option. I just dont know what I want to do.

Answer

You sound like you have your head on straight and everybody elses confusion is your problem. Since you have endured many years high school and college to get to where you are now, year shouldnt be that difficult, especially since you sound like an eminently practical person. When you have a degree in Bird Calls, it doesnt matter if you get a job making bird calls, YOU HAVE A DEGREE. That puts you economically in a better place to choose ANY career. You may have to bend your interests slightly to make enough money to pay off your loans or whatever, but you DONT have to take a job in your field if it isnt what you want to do. A semester or two extra and you can TEACH. Or you can work for a magazine using your knowledge of International business to WRITE about international business. Or you can travel and use your knowledge in the traditional way but in an interesting PLACE.brbrI think you have the world by the scruffy parts, and that may still have nothing to do with feeling meaning in your life. Meaning often comes from activity, not from introspection. Try some new things like volunteering or take some elective course you would never have dreamed of taking before.brbrMy gut says you will be fine, but only you can know for sure.brbrGood Luck.brbrPS Asexuality is a lot more common than people think. One can have a great life asexually. Sex is overrated anyway, and as one writer says quotA sex drive is like being handcuffed to a lunatic.quot

Idk y its happeningi know its kinda long but PLZ help me i need HELP..ok so i saw this playles miserables

Question

Idk y its happeningi know its kinda long but PLZ help me i need HELP..ok so i saw this playles miserables
it was a high skool production and my parents made me go because their friends daughter who i had never met was in it and i ended up really liking it and after the play we couldnt stay that long so we congradulated herbtw she was amazing she has a GREAT voice and i thought it was sooo awesome and left and ever since then ive been really into the music in the play but yea thats not the point....so ever since then ive been getting REALLY UPSET and gettin SAD and even crying and i have no idea why?I know it seems weird that all of this is happening just because i saw a play but its the only thing i can think of and btw i also really want to be able to perform on stage like that but i have massive stage fright and i really wish i had someone i can trust to teach me how to perform and get over my stage fright but idk anyone who can do thatexcept this person and i only minute...plzzz helpp me idk whats happening to me.

Answer

Ok, so I really dont think that it was the play that made you all sad and depressed. Sometimes I get that feeling too! I dont know why either. I just all of a sudden get really sad and start crying. The only think that I think can cure it is going to the gym. Gymnastics I have practice basically every other day, and on the days that I dont sometimes, I just wish I could be there so bad that I start crying. No one understands. They are all like quotWhats wrongquot and I just say that I want to go to the gym. They just think that I am crazy. Also, I have told many people that I want to train every day for hours a day, but they dont take me seriously! I get really mad about it! Maybe we both have some type of depression problem. Is there anything that you are attached to and want to do or see ? Maybe that is it! Good Luck!

I am writing a book.....?

Question

I am writing a book.....?
and I needed help. I am thinking about writing a book about this guy that gets engaged with this girl and it turns out that she has cancer, and the day before the wedding she passes away. A few years later he gets married to someone else and they have a daughter, but she gets cancer when she gets older and he just wants to breakdown because he doesnt want to do through this sadness again.....sound good? I am only but I LOVE to write

Answer

Wow, I feel bad for that guy. gt.lt brbrIt sounds like a pretty good plot, and you have most of the details ironed out, so theres really not much for us to help you with. Good luck with writing itI hope the daughter doesnt pass away too!brbrsends good luckbrbrPS With your note added on, heres another idea. Maybe the daughter meets a boy who she falls in love with, and the situation reminds the dad of his own trials years earlier, and he sees himself in the boy. They could get engaged, but instead of the daughter dying on the wedding day, she lives and conquers cancer, and shows her dad that the disease doesnt always cause tragedy. Its totally sappy romance, but it could be fun to write

I am thinking about getting a tattoo..I need some ideas...?

Question

I am thinking about getting a tattoo..I need some ideas...?
I am thinking about getting a tattoo...one that means something...I want it to have something to do with both of my daughters...I was thinking of maybe their footprints or something from when they were born...with their initials and birthdate with it, or their name and birthdate...I would like some ideas as to what you would have done if you were me...lol.

Answer

ummmm, ok. This is what Im thinking about right now. Find a nice picture of each of your daughters. Get their baby book with the footprints. ok now, have the tattoo artist make a portrait of their faces inside the shape of their footprint. But do not outline the footprint. So when people look at the tattoo quickly they see footprints, but when they really look at it, they see that its the picture of your daughters inside their own baby footprints. And just above daughter s footprintpicture you have her name, and below it is her date of birth. And the same thing for daughter . I dont know if you understand what Im seeing in my mind, lol, but thats what I think would be really nice and meaningful.brgood luck

I am thinking about ending my life, should i do it?

Question

I am thinking about ending my life, should i do it?
i am twenty years old and considering suicide. ive been thinking about it for about a month now. my life is going nowhere, i was going to college, but it fell through. i live seven miles from the nearest town, and no way to get a job or get to work if i had a job. my life is a complete mess everywhere i turn. answers please

Answer

first you need to change your attitude. We all face challenges, just remember, your life is what you make it and thoughts of suicide or depression in general needs to be treated as a form of mental illness. No, youre not crazy, but some people need that extra counseling or even meds. My suggestion would be to get some help, only you can take that initiative.....trust me.

I am so sick of hearing about Twilight. Anyone else?

Question

I am so sick of hearing about Twilight. Anyone else?
I see, hear about it everywhere. There is always someone on the train reading it. Its on Facebook and ppl talk about it there. Its everywhere.

Answer

Thank you! I have never been personally acquainted with this book, but once I started coming onto the YA books and authors section I noticed every other question was about Twilight. Now Im being assaulted by cinema ads on the sides of buses, and I cant get away from it. It sounds incredibly cheesy and cliche, and I want it to go away brbrI remember hearing recently that if anything is worth reading, its worth reading slowly. It makes me feel better for taking ages to finish a book, but it also might indicate the depth of this one. Not all reading has to be heavy I liked Harry Potter but thats really not brain wracking material. And wasnt is HP before Twilight? Makes me wonder what crap is next...brbrAnd not being funny, but for everyone up there who thinks this question is so stupid, then why are you answering it? Isnt your response a little hypocritical?
