    Do you matter too??

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by Roosje4321, Aug 6, 2019.

    Dear people,
    Could you please help me out with answering some or all of these questions?

    1 When was the last time you put you first? Pampered yourself, stood up for yourself, did what really felt good to you and how did you do it?


    2 Which online communities are/were you a member of?

    How many of these communities did you join in the last 3 years and why?

    4 Where are you planning to be 3 years from now?

    5 Are you ready to feel good most of the time and live a life full of bliss?

    6 Why do you feel that now could be a good time to transform your life,for the better, from the inside out?


    7 What could be / are your main motivations to become a deep( emotional) diver and face life fearlessly claiming G.O.A.T* in your field of skills and talents?

    *Greatest Of All Time.

    8 How do you feel when I tell you that you can BE, DO, and HAVE anything you desire?

    9 If so, Who or what else but you and your thinking are holding you back from transforming, growing and living your best life now?

    10 When are you going to shine (more) light on your authentic life journey, your life purpose, your soul mission and Focus on the brighter clues and aspects of your life path?

    Hope I am on the right page, for my mobile only shows 3/4 screen.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm half expecting an ad for "Better yourself juice! buy two for $19.99 along side our Jesus juice cup."

    Anyway, why all the questions?

    Hello @Roosje4321 and welcome to the club! :D

    1) I do this daily, sometimes less, others more. Depending the situation and the needs.
    I stood my friends up at the bar, because I wanted to take a shower first.
    "I told you I'm coming! Shut up! Jeeezas!"
    I drank margaritas with my friends. We had a blast.
    I walked a two-block distance.

    2) Fb, I guess. I find messenger quite handy. Oh, and soundcloud!

    3) None.

    4) It's a surprise. ;)

    5) Of course not! Who on earth would be ready for something like that? The rest of my life? I'm a commitment phobe. I need my problems in order to solve them and feel better. It's a paradox.

    6) Because my lungs demand it... Just... not now.

    7) None. I was born motivated baby! (Maybe money and fame. See? I'm not that deep).

    8) Damn right hommes! Problem is, as the wise man said (Jimi Hendrix) what is that which you desire? For me, it always changes. Win some, lose some, move on.

    9) Who told you that I already don't? Or didn't? Or don't? I'm confused on the grammar. Which one is it? Can I even say this? Not sure...

    10) I don't really believe in these things, so... I tend to make up my purposes.

    I hope I gave you at least a laugh, 'cause life is ridiculous anyway. :)

    Okay, seems there are more than a few people who think this might be a precursor to spam. I dunno, so:

    Welcome to the Forum, @roosej4321. Be sure to check out New Member Quick Start and Forum Rules if you haven't.

    Mod hat on: I don't do questionnaires and quizzes, but I don't think this is really a writing prompt, so I'm going to move it to the Lounge and let anyone who wants to get involved.

    Hat off. I see you mentioned goats (or G.O.A.T.S.) We have a thriving thread dedicated just to that topic that you might enjoy.

    Back to our regularly scheduled program.

    I'm not. My life is rather chaotic and planning doesn't really stick very well.

    Like that's a lie. How do you return a stolen innocence, share a drink with departed friends, or one last moment with a departed lover? And as much as we might desire, we will never roam the wilds as the noble piranhamoose. Some things just aren't and never will be.

    Life starts, and ends as a collection of random events, half finished adventures, unsaid words and unread books. The only truly authentic journey one can make is from womb to grave and beyond that there is no purpose, no mission and no path other than the ones we convince ourselves must exist to help us cope with the sheer mundanity and inconsequentiality of our existence.

    Chimichangas, maybe.

    So many books and many approaches to self help and mindfulness. I am trying to feel where there is more or much resistance towards the words or concepts mentioned. And looking at the different points of view too.

    8. I feel like getting email from Nigeria.

    10. After visiting Chernobyl.

    The moment we open up our mouths and hearts we are creating... Books picked me up when I was down.

    I seriously think you'd have much better luck researching your topic if you joined HARO and put out a HARO request. The demographics of this Forum really don't line up with the demographics for that type of book, so the answers you're likely to get won't give you an accurate picture.

    :supergrin:


    IDK, I don't really pamper myself. Haven't had to stand up for myself.
    I suppose shopping for the rare non-essential goodies that make me
    feel slightly like I could possibly be an ordinary person in society, all
    while not shopping for standard little self rewards of the average
    person. Then again I don't fit in with the standard American standard
    of cultural norms where being a good consumer is concerned. :p
    Fetlife (left in late February this year). Been on there since 2009.
    Not really active until a few years ago, when I moved to AZ.
    Met the local community, and didn't fit in nor did I even really
    belong. They were nice people, but a bit on the on trick pony
    side of things creatively with little mind to explore new things.
    So I left it all, and don't really care to go back. Being in such a
    small town area, comes with the added bonus of small minded
    people. Not that I have given up my pursuits that led me join
    Fet, only having a greater understanding that one doesn't need
    to be apart of a community that doesn't recognize or really accept
    those with differing creative ideals.

    I joined here 4 years ago this month. Got off to a rough start, but
    I think I have improved as a member of such a lovely community.
    May have shared a decent idea or opnion in all that time. Perhaps
    a few laughs too. But I mainly joined after just about nearing the
    end of my first novel and needed a bit of help.

    The fact that you are a minimalist consumer is one of the million things I love immensely about you. :supersmile:

    I am just using it as a good opportunity to go on about how wonderful he is. I'm (possibly overly) proud of my man. :p

    I just had to sit a waiter down and explain to him why he wasn't special. I used bullet points, but he's a millennial so I don't think he got it.
