If you think that's an example of modernness in India, then clearly you haven't been to India.

Something is hurting my feet Sometimes it feels like it's on the outside like a knife on the skin Sometimes it feels like it's on the inside something shooting from my blood vessels. Really hurtful. Hope this pain ends. It's awful pain like inside outside both. I was fine just a while ago and suddenly I started to feel shooting Jabs in my feet and leg muscles It's like cutting through skin Awful

You won't have any problems in India. Just don't pay too much for anything. Ask the standard rates for any service or booking. Because often it's inflated for tourists and visitors. And don't easily believe what a person tells you, reconfirm it from other people, lots of helpful people in India so you won't have a problem in mingling with people, you won't be considered rude for anything at all because Indians are extremely light Hearted and forgiving and warm, they will put you at ease. The only place you have to be careful with is where prices are involved because the sellers cheat or scam outsiders to profit. Like a ride tariff will be hiked. Don't drink or eat if someone offers because there are chances of getting drugged and robbed, this is common for any new place.. Eat only at hotels/restaurants. Don't accept a ride to someone's home or a secluded location, keep yourself in the crowd and mostly get your work done during daytime because things get riskier in lonely dark places. So finish everything by late evening so you don't need to go out in the dark. Locals can be a bit rude and untrustworthy. They are uneducated. Educated folks are way better and friendly and trustworthy. There's a huge difference in the kind of people you're dealing with in India because the diversity here is extreme in regard to social status, social class, money education, religion, culture, language. Hindi is not the only language in India although its the national language. It can be very difficult sometimes because even the locals don't understand hindi. So you kinda have to find your way around it. You always have to pick someone to translate things for you. Be in touch with the local police wherever you plan to live because if anything happens they're always there to help you out with safety and travel related issues like documention. In India we have lots of local guides. They are helpful. Contact these in every city and they will help a lot with finding places and getting stuff done. Everything is pretty much cheap so money won't be a problem. Negotiate negotiate negotiate. India is a place of bargains and negotiations. Initially everyone tries to inflate numbers, prices. Once you learn to negotiate and be patient, things get easier and the deal goes through. Hygiene is absolutely essential. A lot of the time, you could get diarrhea if you are eating out of a cheap restaurant, so get a good place that looks clean and it won't be a problem. You can always inform the waiter that you don't want spicy and they will customize the dish for your needs. Making friends will be very easy. So you can make loads of friends. But they should be the educated type.. No prejudice against the ones who aren't. But the safety is higher with educated or qualified ones here.. This is the most important. If someone talks to you about drugs (which is inevitable with tourists), like getting you a drug for cheap etc etc, just stay out of it because drug regulations are the toughest in India as in other countries in Asia. You don't want to get entangled in that. Drugs are a big deal. Most drugs are illegal and the punishment is severe. Do not fall for any bait because peddlers are often looking for outside folks who don't know the laws. That's all. You'll have a good stay I hope.

Tinder app is a scam anyway. Most profiles are of shady scammy people waiting to trap someone to make money or use someone. Not to mention that tinder can also be a good source of Stds.

I think life is based on 3 things A good life is when You are doing what you always wanted to do. Passion. You are doing what you should do.. Universal purpose. You have at least found someone who you can love forever. Finding or knowing a soulmate You're living with the person who you love and wanted to be with. Living with a soulmate.

Here's a simple explanation: You were born, and someone gave you a name. You noticed everything and everyone around you, how they behaved, what worked and what didn't. You noticed what got rewarded and what got punished. You noticed what was appreciated and what was criticized. You noticed what was valued and what was devalued. And just like that, in all that noticing, you cast yourself into a mould that everyone around you put you in. That, is so gradual and unconscious, that you end up thinking, this is me. That you, the image you have of yourself is your personality. As an example: Ever since I was a kid, my mom would interrupt me whenever I tried to speak something. If someone asked me a question, she would answer on my behalf before I do. And then over a period of time, I felt it is not really a good idea to open my mouth. I retreated into a shell and became an introvert. I disliked being around people even though I could not pin point why. Then that became my personality - shy and quiet. Then I move out and go to college. I no longer have my mom around. I also get to do stuff that I find interesting. I am able to ask questions openly and answer them honestly. And people started saying I'm so confident. Then that became my personality. That is what a personality is. People at in my family have a hard time believing I am confident and outspoken. People at my college have a hard time believing I'm shy and quiet. None of these extremes is me. Both are acquired traits. Personality, the word, comes from 'Persona' meaning a 'mask'. So it is something that actually covers up your real face or the real you. How do you know what is the real you? When you let go of all your masks and stand naked. Decide which aspects of you are acquired and let them go. It's a hell of a process and hurts your ego a lot.

Do not keep her in the dark. Her needing you should not be used as a crutch to rely on. Because ultimately it's betrayal from your side no matter how much she needs you. A lot of guys subconsciously defend being with a girl just because she is lonely or needy and they feel bad to leave her. Long term this thinking does more harm. So go ahead and break up with her even if it appears cruel to keep it straight and simple. Sooner or later she will adjust to her new reality and find her own ground and move on. You should be with her only if you really want to be with her. And if you really don't want to be with her, then you should just let her go. Honesty is the best policy..

Finally got a good doctor for a diagnosis for her. Hopefully this time everything will turn out right

What a strange coincidence. And this is not the first time I am experiencing a coincidence with Andrew. It always happens. He has a bad day. And usually I have a bad day on the same day

Something weird is going on in my life right now. I called Andrew 10 mins ago and he tells me that he can't find his medication.. This is getting weird seriously. I lose my medication and he loses it at the same exact time. Can't wrap my head around this Feeling creeped out. Lately things aren't going well in Andrew's life either I hope everything works out at the end of the day. Today is like a miserable day.

If @Anna1 doesn't want to do psychedelics it's totally her choice and good for her, it in no way means her life is wasted. Her life is good as long as she lives it on her terms. Understand that psychedelics is not applicable to every or all people. Only those who are comfortable with it can do it.

That person threw away my medication. What the hell. It's been a bad day.

Getting a feeling of distress.

Perthonality goes deeper than the ego and is connected to the upbringing, cultural and genetic factors. Your perthonality emerges through it. It alters how you think, feel, react, respond and handle situations. The nature of the ego is deeply attached to the perthonality of the person. So if someone is egotistical, it's their perthonality, they're going to have a very fragile ego. So it's actually the reverse. The ego gets impacted by the perthonality rather than the other way around. Some factors that influence perthonality are genetic. So if a parent is someone who is addicted to alcohol, known to be sociopathic and having anger issues or mental illnesses, these are going to reflect fully or partially even in the kid. However with knowledge, therapy and other development tools it's always possible to alter the perthonality and make changes to help the person become pleasant

I'm trying to connect the dots I think that depression, bi-polar and autism are all correlated and somehow negativity and narcissism, controlling behavior and ocd and the need to create drama and the need to provoke, bully and the need to blow things out of proportion and inflict pain to the point of sadism and the need to have stimulation at the expense of destructive behavior or destructive consequences is a terrible vicious mixture which is cyclical and a huge part of the personality disorders that create this toxic mixture.

Just trying to process things

The asters shake from stem to flower waiting for the monarchs to alight. Every butterfly knows that the end is different from the beginning and that it is always a part of a longer story, in which we are always transformed. When it's time to fly, you know how, just the way you knew how to breathe, just the way the air knew to find its way into your lungs, the way the geese know when to depart, the way their wings know how to speak to the wind, a partnership of feather and glide, lifting into the blue dream.

Draw out the pink card......

Pull a pink card from the box. What does it symbolize. To me it symbolizes freedom. Being on your own and enjoying your own freedom. Creating your own space of comfort
