RE: Fact check with Pet: Something most people don't know about the Pill
@petrapark3r Yes it can be very dangerous! but it has more positive health benefits than potential bad ones. Also, the smoking refers to tobacco and nicotine. Anyone on birth control also has to stay away from second hand smoke from cigarettes.
I am on the pill and I have been for a couple years now. Personally, I've never experienced any bad side affects. However, there are many kinds of pills and every body reacts differently to each kind. It is important for women to try out which one that works best for them! -

@Matt_Aranha Wow, I wasn't expecting this much kindness, thank you!:)
No need to fear though, I've learned my lesson on being taken advantage of and I'm much more careful now 😂 -

RE: More Open Thoughts
@petrapark3r said in More Open Thoughts:
@OliveOlivia So, love, how should I start?
Sorry to anybody that will feel triggered in a second, but I'm going to cite the bible: "The fear of the lord is the beginning of all wisdom". I can't believe I am bringing God into this, since I usually try to give advice in a way that profits anybody even those who have no connection to Him. But I feel that this one time I cannot help but call the christian world view for help. Even if that does not ring with you, you might appreciate the thoughts behind. Maybe if you try to replace the word "God" with "Love" you have a chance of getting the idea... So anyways...
Fear of the lord means to be humble. To know that you are always going to be stuck being this much. That you alone cannot be good. It is only the beginning of wisdom, because when you begin to let Him guide your life, you will change for the better. The moment you stop being humble – which we humans do like all the time – you leave the path of wisdom. But as long as you let Him bring you back, as long as you keep getting up, keep asking for forgiveness He will be the love inside you.
but if we constantly steer off the path of humbleness then are we ever humble? and if we or I follow this love inside, why do we keep failing?
And here you also have the reason for doing it: By being kind – but not just kind, actually letting love guide you – you give your actions meaning. What you do is more meaningful than all the deads of the cruel people around you combined.
but me being kind only means something to me, to others, to cruel people, kindness means nothing. Im just supposed to trust that me being kind once, even if its in a single interaction, that it is enough?
When someone disrespects you... Show them the other cheek. This does not mean to just continue to be kind to them, far from it. When someone hits you on one cheek and you show him the other, you show them their iniquity and you show them that one does not have to react unkindly no matter how unjust the world is.
Needless to say, when you have God inside your heart, all the evil in the world really cannot compare. You are simply giving out from the great treasure chest you have in your heart. For God has given (and forgiven) you so much more than they could ever do evil to you. And you know, that despite everything, He loves them so much more than we could ever imagine, He loves them just like He loves you. And just as He is changing you right now he will change them, he will warm their cold heart, and you get to be a part of that.
Sadly not all will change though, the room that God prepared for them in His Heart will forever be empty...
thank you for this, I will try to lead more with this love inside!

@petrapark3r Does that mean I was given a good life to share it?

RE: Olivia's Thoughts #03
@Matt_Aranha Apart of me feels pressured to do something big and important because I've been blessed with so much. If in the future I accomplish nothing, then what?

Olivias Thoughts #04 -Dreams-
My dreams are confusing. When I am dreaming, I have no idea that I am in a dream. The most crazy and bizarre things can happen in my dreams and I still wont know that I am dreaming. In fact, in my dreams I will have memories with all the characters and I will know their names and background stories, even if those characters are as weird as a fish out of water and I've never met or seen them before in a previous dream or real life. I have almost no control and I am completely unaware that I am dreaming.
But my brain isn't?
I've always just said that my dreams don't feel like dreams, they feel very real and vivid, from the way things look, feel, smell, and taste. I have no control of what will happen and what other characters will do and say, I can only control myself. Like in real life. However, I have stared to realize that even though I am not in control, I am controlling everything, without trying.
For example, I often have dreams of being chased, yet I am never caught.
Earlier today I had a dream that I was walking with high hells on a slippery floor, but I never fell.
I've had dreams with demons, ghosts, scary pop ups, "scary" things. Things that would make me shit my absolute pants in real life, but in my dreams, none of those things phase me, and none of those things can touch me. They can only try to scare me, and they always fail.
So I cant even have bad dreams....
When something in my dream is about to happen that I don't want to happen, it will change.
I am not purposely changing it, in those moments I don't even know I am dreaming.
I wish I could explain this better, but there have been weird things happening in my dreams too.
White horses, and vulnerable family members, I am not trying to put these things in my dreams but theyre coming up and theyre constructing odd scenarios and conversations.
Why is this happening?
If I am not controlling my dreams, why are these weird things happening, why do things happen in my favor?
Am I secretly controlling my dreams and I don't know? If I were, why wouldn't I know I am dreaming?
Is my brain, subconscious, or something trying to tell me something?
I've never been one to believe in "meanings in dreams" but some of the dreams I have make me feel like my subconscious is trying to show me something and Im too stuck in my dream to realize it.
Maybe it is that deep, maybe its not deep at all.
How are your dreams? Do you think dreams have any underlining meaning? Why do you think we have dreams? -

@petrapark3r I don't care about upvotes or replies and I don't think it has to do with attention, but I guess anything is possible.
I just think I am right, for the same reason I just said. Unless its my post or my questions, I don't look at every comment in other topics, why? unless its a juicy question I am interested in, then I don't care. Its a normal thing to not care about other peoples responses to a question you don't care much for either. So if I know I don't care, I know others don't either.
I don't think its so much that I want attention or upvotes or replies. I think I just like being listened to, no one has to respond or react, just listen and learn. But if I don't do it for every one I don't expect everyone to do it for me. If anything, its just me being selfish and acting as though the things I have to say are more important than others, which I know isn't true. Nothing I say is better in anyway, and some of the things I say don't make sense or are misunderstood, with that in combination with the majority not caring I then think... well whats the point? Just keep these thoughts to yourself because nothing comes out of expressing them anywayI have a sneaking suspicion that whenever your friends or acquaintances are grouped up, talking amongst themselves and they see you approaching a few of them roll their eyes. Be honest
Jokes on you, I have no friends!

Olivia's Thoughts #07
I think animals are far more smart than we know. They haven't created their own vaccinations or came up with inventions, but they're smart. Possibly smart enough to know not to do those things. I might sound crazy, I can barely even explain this properly, but I think animals are just more.
Like climate change, they know it is happening since they are affected by it, and if they are able to they will adapt. Some people don't know climate change is real. How are we the smart ones?
Sometimes I feel like they might know more than we do. Maybe animals aren't dumb, maybe they just know that building shopping malls and driving cars will do more damage than any benefit. Maybe they know Earth is their home and they know better than to destroy it.
I might be dumb to think animals aren't dumb, but there are rainforests that produce poisonous plants and when an animal eats it, they know just where to go to find the antidote, which is a special clay only found in certain places. No one knows how they figured this out, but they did.
Clearly they are primitive to us, so they cant be 'smarter'.
But I think they are smart enough to know not to bite the hand that feeds them. And I think we are dumb enough to cut the whole arm off, turn it into a robot arm, and then be surprised when it malfunctions and we starve. -

Sometimes I get these feelings like I am supposed to do something. Like my life has an actual purpose that I need to fulfill and its big. I know it's not true and I am not in any position to think that it is, but every time I try to shake the feeling it comes back.
Cause it's true. And it's big. Huge actually.
That's what she said 😏😂
Usually that's what he says :yum:
I see what you did there 😂

RE: any gym people here?
@Sasha-M Sometimes, you just have to get yourself there.
I used to H A T E going to the gym, but the hardest part was actually getting myself to the gym, once I'm there its very easy to start my workout and continue it, and it feels real good to finish!
I work out at home now and I think that's also made it easier for me, I don't have to actually get to the gym, I just have to start! Once it becomes a habit its less of a burden and more of a normal activity, like going grocery shopping or walking your dog.
What also helps me is in the mornings, I watch youtube videos of fitness "gurus" and they help motivate and inform me of different workouts. I hope some of this helps! -
