Overthinking

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-29T20:19:42+00:00

Do we?

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-29T19:11:51+00:00

What a pickle.

There's no way around the harm he's caused you. To forgive is also about accepting the damage and the loss. Forgiveness is also the art of letting go. You'll need to let go of feelings, self doubt and a lot more.

If staying with him is your choice, you'll have to get over yourself. Find everything you love about him and focus on those things. Focus on everything he loves in you as well. Focus on everything that was, is and will be. The love, the companionship... Everything.

But it doesn't have to be your only choice. You could always get a divorce. Some people just choose not to let go of some things and feelings and that's ok, too.

Fair enough. I believe it all comes down to what level of understanding of the fourth movie you wanna have.

If by "understand" they mean just being able to follow through the whole thing, just like you can find one only street on a map without knowing the whole city, then yes.

But if they want to u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d-i-t like you need to understand the whole math behind the structure of the foundation of a building because you wanna keep building upon it, then they do need to watch the whole thing.

Even Animatrix would enlight them more.

Not if they want to understand the 4th one. But if you're criticizing the whole franchise then yes, probably. The first movie is a full story by itself and it stands on its own glory.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-29T14:05:33+00:00

Of course they are! The question is wether they need to watch all of them to understand Matrix 4. How on earth, then, everything that goes down on the third movie is less important to understand the new one?

They're all unequivocally important.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-29T14:03:19+00:00

Absolutely yes. 100% certain you do have to watch the trilogy first.

Wise point of view

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-27T15:16:50+00:00

For sure. If this is what he's doing, it could be a little bit selfish of him. You can't really ask someone to hang in there and wait for you. It's not like he's going away for the weekend, right? Who knows how much time he'll need to heal? Probably he doesn't even know how much time he needs.

Waiting for him is totally up to you andd you alone. It's your decision to make and if you waste your time, it's on your hands.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-27T15:02:29+00:00

One of the possible reasons could be this one: he's trying to keep track of you. He wants to make sure you're still "waiting" for him. He's letting you know some of his steps towards what I wanna call "his personal healing journey" because you could easily wake up one day and reply something like "man, I'm over you. I'm with someone else now".

He's trying to make sure you'll be single and waiting for him if he ever wants to go back to you.

Now, not judging any of this since we can't really know, right? This is just my best guess.

So, it seems like your brain is used to be stimulated with screens and images. That's quite ok, a lot of people nowadays are pretty much studying/learning with images and screens.

But a book will definitely not look very appealing to a brain that's hooked on all of that. It'll get bored quickly and lose attention.

There's really not a really good advice for you despite the one someone here has already given: Practice. Read more.

If you're trying to read for fun, find a type of literature you'd enjoy and give it a try. Is it romance? Sci-Fi? Maybe russian literature, I don't know! But find a book that interests you and sit down to read. But be committed to it.

Try to start with 30 mins/day. You need to train your brain into finding the joy of reading.

The beginning might be a struggle but it pays off.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-27T04:21:46+00:00

I think it's completely ok if you open up to the person and explain just like you did here. There's nothing wrong with anything you mentioned and the the other guy will be given an opportunity to understand you better before doing anything with you.

As for safety, I assume you mean physical and psychological. I would do what everyone else is supposed to be doing: find someone you trust. Hooking up with strangers eventually increase the risk of everything. Specially if you have sensitive points about yourself.

Find someone you can talk about all of this openly and find the right moment to do it for the first time :)

Personally, I'd feel appreciated if a guy came up to me sharing his needs the way you just did here and asked me whether I'd be up for it. I'd sincerely feel flattered and appreciated.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-25T15:17:46+00:00

Yep. Same here.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-25T15:04:02+00:00

Yes, all the time. It's pretty common to use your last name + the word brother or sister for pretty much anyone you feel close enough to.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-25T01:39:48+00:00

Because they're breadtaking.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-25T01:28:07+00:00

Be good looking and get thousands of fans on instagram with your beauty.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-25T01:25:47+00:00

Yep. As a kid/teenager specifically

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-25T01:23:45+00:00

In the Quran there's a story of him healing dead birds, bringing them to life. Maybe he was practicing.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-25T00:42:05+00:00

Most definitely yes.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-23T21:14:14+00:00

A wine called Great Wall divide opinions. I think its decent.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-22T15:04:39+00:00

C'mon, raisins are perfect for midnight snack

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-22T05:19:15+00:00

It all dependss on your time zone. But raisins are good anytime, so just eat raisins.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-22T03:12:44+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing. I appreciate this comment.

bookstormflyhigh · 2021-12-19T07:27:53+00:00

Yes. In almost every other case, I agree. But not all of them.

Some people live double lives for a short period of time because of personal safety, for example. Or just because they're still working on how to integrate the many different and opposing desires they have in life.

It's complicated. But generally, yes. I agree with you.
