Thanks for taking the time to post that butters!
Wrong map, emotional immaturity, me to a tee.
I see these things in others at times and my first response is to think what the hell are they thinking.
Then I realize I am looking in the mirror and I feel apathy towards them because I know how hard it was on me.
This has helped me get past who I was. I just didn't know what the heck to do so I partied and ignored the fact I was veering off the path of life.
I like the idea of preparing for the stressors of the day. I will give this a try.
Venus you are correct. This thread, group, is awesome.
