What kind of bad habits do you have? Do you want to quit them?

@cjko I wouldn't want people to be sad but I still want to be missed. I would want people to remember me and miss me because of all the good memories, there wouldn't be sadness in my remembrance, just love. When reminiscing on the days when I was still alive I wouldn't want to be remembered as nice, funny, or kind, but as nothing more than good memories to which each person they differ.

I see so many people talk about TWS like it was something magical, some people even considered it a second home.
For those that were around when TWS was a hot spot, what was it like? what was your experience?
What do you think went wrong and how do you think it can be that kind of place again?
Does anyone think TWS can be back to its good ol' days?
Does anything think it ever will?

What do you think about most when its late at night and you cant sleep because your mind keeps running?

@Connor27 Happy Birthday Rob The Amazing! Have a good everyday!!

Goodnight, Morning, Afternoon, or whatever you prefer as a greeting.
The personal thoughts I want to let out today kind of have to do with me wanting to be better, in the way that is partially the reason why I want to be a better person.
I don't have a perfect life, of course I don't think anyone does, but I also have nothing to complain about. This is a good thing, I know, but it also feels very wrong.
You see, I live in a wonderful two story house, my mom is the primary parent in my life but she goes above and beyond to make sure my needs are met and that I'm happy. My family has struggled with financial problems before, but not for a couple of years now. So I live in a beautiful house, with a mom that I would think only existed in cartoons, the cutest dog in the world, I don't see my siblings often but I can say that they are probably the coolest, best people I've ever interacted with, I've been getting a good education -I am currently on summer break but I will return to my studies in the fall-, there is nothing physical that I want or need because I am blessed with people that will give me anything I ask for. I know that everything isn't perfect, but everything around me and my life is as perfect as can be. My family isn't filthy rich, I dont own any awesome expensive sports car, I know there are others with way more than me, but those are physical things. I am talking about people in my life and energy around me is so great that I can honestly say no amount of money could be as good as a life like this.
So whats the problem here?
I don't know what I did do deserve this life. I feel so undeserving. I haven't intentionally hurt anyone and I wouldn't consider myself a bad person, but I don't think I'm good enough for the life I was given either.
I dont know how I feel about God, but if he exists, I cant help but constantly question why he blessed me with more than enough while there are innocent children starving, there are people getting abused, and parents that have to work multiple shifts just to provide for their family. If there are people that are more deserving than me, why was I given such a good life? I dont know what to do with it.
I've been trying to be a better me not only because I care for myself and those around me, but because I want my wonderful life to be something that I earned, something that I deserve. It kills me to know that I have done absolutely nothing to get to the place that I am at meanwhile others are constantly at work to get a decent living.
I feel undeserving of my life and I wish I could ask life itself why I was given this, and why others are given so little. I know life is unfair, but never in a million years did I think an unfair life could be this good to me. I don't mean to flaunt the things I have, and I dont want to come off as complaining, but I cant help but feel this wont last forever. I dont think I deserve the things I have, but I am worried that in a blink of an eye it will all go away because so.

I dare you to answer all eight of these questions even if your answers are long. Its a dare so you kind of have to do it now 😈

1. If you had a time machine would you visit the past or the future? Why?

2. What do you wish you were really good at?

3. If you could jump into a pool of something, what would it be?

4. Whats your favorite joke?

5. If you could be a fictional character who would you be? Why?

6. What kind of things really make you laugh?

7. What is something that you think is overrated? Why do you think that?

8. How do you feel about TWS?

@davitchen I might be completely wrong, but from what I've observed men are weak.
They're weak to curves, sweet voices, flirtations, etc. This doesn't apply to all men of course but a lot of them don't know how to separate their head between their legs from their head on their shoulders. These men are easily distracted by a women with a pretty face and good figure they don't pay attention to things that matter in a relationship and thus fail at relationships.
Some men are the complete opposite and theyre so emotional and vulnerable that they try to marry to first woman that shows them kindness and understanding.

@petrapark3r said in Tell me about your days...:

How do you usually spend your days? Maybe tell me about your week and your weekend.

When do you get up?
What do you do first?
What do you work on / spend most of your time with?
What's after work?
What do you enjoy most about your days?
What do you hate about em?

These are the questions I ask myself because my memory is so bad 😩

Dear myself, those who are reading this, those who don't want to, and the FBI agent that has to read this to make sure I am not plotting to kill the president. I am doing this again because I enjoyed my last entry and I think it is something that I want to continue. I don't know how to start these so I'm sorry if it is awkward, please bear with me.
I want to be a better me. I want to be nicer, funnier, prettier, more humble, less jealous, and provide healthy unconditional love. The kind that doesn't just make the people around me feel happy, but also myself. I thought accomplishing these things would be easy. I thought I could just remind myself to be nice and it would happen, if I watched more comedians or funny shows they would eventually rub off on me, if I work out more my body could be ideal, etc. I try to be a better me everyday, but I don't know if I'm any better at all. The way I perceive the world has changed greatly, I don't know if it is for the better or worse, but the way I treat myself and others seems unfit. I am aware of this, and I know what changes I want to make, so why is it so hard? Am I really stuck only being this much? Can I get any better? How long do I have to wait until I am the person I want to be and I treat others the way they should be treated.
That's takes me off topic, how should others be treated? If someone disrespects me is it only fair to disrespect them back, or do I continue to be kind? The kind of person I want to be is only the kind person, but what is the point in being kind when everyone else can be so cruel? Some people say one persons kindness can make a difference, but I don't see any change.
Thoughts like these have been crowding my head more than I would like to admit, that's why I'm finally using this place as my outlet, so if you've read all of this, thank you for listening. Once again you can leave any comments of advice, hate, or encouragement if youd like. I will say I don't care as much for the replies as I do as just being heard, so thank you for reading:)

Flabbergast- to surprise greatly, astonish, shock, etc.
I just think its a fun word to say.
I sometimes bug out at the idea that everyone is living their lives right now at this very moment. You are at your own place on the same Earth reading this post on your own device and living your own life.
AND FOR SOME REASON I FIND THAT SO CRAZY AND AMAZING
Sometimes I just freak out looking at people at the grocery store and think "they are going home to a house I've probably never seen, with furniture I've never helped move in, and possibly even pets that I've never seen"
Its been 20 years and I still cant wrap my head around the fact that we are all different, unique, individuals. All 7.66 Billion of us, living together but in separate lives.
WoW.

What kinds of thoughts flabbergast you?

@Sooomeeeh I don't like to give up, and I don't believe in reminiscing on ex's because there was a break up for a reason, so clearly that relationship was so shitty that it had to end😂
If the current relationship I am in is shitty, then I would work as hard as I could to make it unshitty. I am still in the relationship so that tells me that despite how bad it may seem currently there is a reason why I got into it and there is a reason that I will stay through the bad parts.
Truth is, all relationships can get pretty shitty. We are humans, we disagree, we argue, its normal. But when we get into a relationship that is us agreeing to work through those obstacles whether they're good, bad, hard, or easy.

@petrapark3r I think it is hard to recognize the "one". Many people are so focused on the potential that the grass is greener else where that they leave their soulmates when theyre together and later find out it was a mistake. By that time it is too late, both or one of them have moved on and now reminisce on what could have been.
I would say if someone really wants to know if they've met their "one" it would take some time of stepping out of the box and really looking at the big pictures and attention to detail. You have to understand yourself and understand the person youre with. Then, experience life with other people. I think youll really know if theyre the one if you start realizing that other people cant measure up, and you really don't think anyone compares. You stop thinking about the grass being greener and you the only future you see has them in it. And there cant be any doubt, you have to be 110% sure that theyre the one.
Sadly, even that could not be enough. They might be the one now, but as we age and grow, we change. Some people that were perfect at one time might be two completely different people that are no longer perfect for each other anymore. Its heart breaking, but it is okay. It is just apart of life. Loving and losing is better than no love at all.

Is it easy for you to have a conversation?
A real conversation, not "hows the weather" and "what are you doing" kind of conversation. I feel like I don't even know what a real conversation even is anymore.
How do you make an actual conversation with people?

The Earth is about to be sucked into a black hole, what do you think will happen on the other side? What would you want to happen?
I haven't done any research on this so if there is already a clear answer for this then I'm sorry for not knowing about it before posting this topic. I just want to let it be unknown to see what other people's thoughts and ideas about it will be😂

@petrapark3r I agree with @DAD_ . We are smart, we will find a way to provide for our growing population even if it seems impossible. That's what we do. That is our job. However, its not the feeding them and providing for them that is the problem.
Its the devastation we will cause from being over populated. Sure, we can provide for all humanity, but when doing so we kill off so much of Earths natural life. We are already going through a world water crisis and an incredible decline in the amount of fishable sea food.
We can fix our problems that we have created, we don't have to be doomed.
But in all honesty, I think we already are. I think were already on the path of doom but were walking at the beginning so we don't see the devastation we will arrive to at the end.
We don't have to be doomed, but the likely hood of anyone giving a rats butt about our planet and the life on it to actually improve not just the life of humans but for all living things-our earth as well- is almost 0.

I know this is a post that is free for the public to see but this is more like a self discussion, I guess? I don't know, but don't hesitate to comment any words of advice, encouragement, or hate. I'm not really sure why I'm doing this but I am and I would like to see where this goes.
So, Hello, I am Olivia, well, I'm not, but that's my pen name. Or Olive, if you like those, but I don't.
Last night I found out I have "daddy issues", which I knows is lame 'here comes another sensitive female that cant get her life together because daddy didn't hand her a silver spoon'. But this is different, at least I hope it is. My dad is still in my life and he always has been, I live with my mom but my dad has never been far away. But he still was never really a dad either. I never thought that mattered though because my mom has awlays felt like my mom and my dad in one, like some kind of super parent. Even though I know my relationship with my dad is probably worse than average I never considered myself a daddy issues kind of person, I didn't even think that was a real thing, I thought people just used that as an excuse to act out and be irrational. But now, here I am, about to turn 20 and I crave male attention like a meth head craves a bump, but I don't seek it. Well, I try not to, but yet I'm writing my personal problems on a website called Talk With Stranger. I still don't know why. Maybe I still want attention, or maybe I'm hoping that I can connect with someone who feels the same way. Whatever the reason may be, I will admit that it feels good to write my thoughts down. But maybe this isn't the way to do it. oh well, thanks for listening.

Everyone's perception of life is different, we all know that. I hope. Mine seems a little different than those around me so I don't know if mine is ridiculous or genius. Maybe its both, or neither, since none of us truly know what it is anyway.
I pretty much picture most of life as a mindset now. Whether we choose to be happy or sad, take something as good or bad, that is all our decision. Life isn't great, and it isn't horrible, it just.... is. However we want to take it is how it is lived. Two kids growing up living the same life with two different mindsets could have very different outlooks of the world around them. From the things they like, to the things they do, and say. Our mindset creates the world around us, fake or not, it is all made up in our head anyway.
What if our after life is the same way?
What if after living our life here, where we decide to take our own paths and create a life with our set mind, when we die we continue whatever that mindset is? Here is where we learn and elsewhere is where we stay.... that would be interesting.
I kind of just feel like we have so much control and yet no control at all over our lives.
I will just continue to construct the world the way I want it, because that's what our mindsets do.

Sometimes I have these moments; where I close my eyes and I swear I can see the universe. I can feel how small our planet is and how much smaller I am in it. I can feel how little I am, how little my life is, and it makes me happy. Because even if all of this means nothing, if my life really is meaningless and when I die there is nothing, I'm glad I got to experience something beautiful. I don't know what the fuck this universe is and the things happening within and outside of it, but I guess I don't really care. I'm just happy that I got to experience what life is and how great and shitty it can be. I'm glad I got this chance, even if its just this once.

@nightshifter This is awesome! I wish every coffee looked like this!
