it was really cool to hear them off in the distance as my buddy and I went diving along the north coast.

with help from friends like you. (not sarcasm)

I went to a crystal fair once where someone was doing the aura photos with some machine you put your hand on and then they take a polaroid of your aura. I’ve seen my aura in one of those photos before and the energy from the crystals was so pervasive, everyone who had a photo taken had mostly yellow in their auras. Auras can show your mood, if you can see them. The interpretation I leave to others. We all have the ability to sense vibes from others. Like, “this is someone I can/cannot trust.” Many people ignore those signals and end up in trouble later on.

means you have come to a conclusion about something. That is being judgmental, imho. I also have been very sarcastic at times and now feel like it is a form of expressing anger, in a passive aggressive way. I am just working on myself being less judgmental meaning less opinionated.

I have felt energy, or vibes from people that felt good and not so good. Another friend reminded me the other nite that even tho it seems that some people are out to deceive or mess with other people’s lives, we are ALL doing the best that we can do. That was pretty profound and hard to accept for some of the people in my life; but true none the less.

I have been working very hard on not being judgmental and opinionated. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I will work very hard to stop that behavior.

is NOT good, no matter how well intentioned. Jealousy is really destructive, because at the core, I feel it’s based on a belief that our partner will leave us because we are not good enough. So much of relationship misery is trying to manipulate someone else to do what we want them to do. If you stopped loving someone, or are ready to move on, there’s not much that person can do to convince you otherwise. Same if you try to do that with them. For me, the relationship I am in is a reflection of my internal image of what I deserve. It’s good to remind yourself that you deserve to be with people who respect and love you without wanting to change you.

I recently read a phrase about people who say, “I have nothing in common with those people.” It’s good to remind them that we all have more in common than they realize. Like in 20-40 years, we will all be rotting corpses, and then become dust and then nothing. That’s a pretty sobering reminder of how much we have in common.
