A cold shoulder? I don’t know—perhaps I’m just a bit more introverted at this time of year. Autumn is actually one of my favorite seasons —especially late autumn, when it turns stormy, dark, and rainy.
I find myself drawn to the melancholy of it all, and its absolute, sweeping vastness.
... we Germans don’t like to talk about people who aren’t sitting at the table with us. A lot of lies get spread, but I believe that everyone knows the truth. I’m glad you’ve dropped anchor and are now at home. Keep at it and see it through !
Hi! Unfortunately, I can no longer post on JACOB’s page because I’ve been blocked. JACOB claims that I’m a liar, but it’s not the truth. All of this is just part of everyday - life and not a big deal. How are you doing ?
It’s a hard truth, brother, and I have come to accept it. When we had our disagreement, you mentioned karma 🤔 truth be told, this is my karmic debt. The mistake we often make is that we equate this life’s disappointments with the sum of this life’s choices (good and/or bad). That’s not the case. I firmly believe that it’s baggage from a previous life.
In the case of a female not being in my life …perhaps, I took one for granted, in a prior life. That’s one of the reasons why I truly respect Buddhist monks … their blind acceptance of trials, travails, and tribulations.
Despite this apparent shortcoming, I can assure you that I have led and - in different ways - still lead a blessed life. I may not be where I want to be, but I am at peace with that. It doesn’t mean a future date with a tropical idyll isn’t in the offing. I am assured that it is.
Anyway, amid your studies, don’t forget to enjoy your downtime 😊 and the upcoming weekend.
@GingerbreadMon Coming home tomorrow, and I am ready to. This is the craziest place I've ever been , was here 20 years ago and loved it, but it's all a bit to chaotic for me now. But last night we had a meal in the 4 Seasons Hotel....Such opulence I have never seen before, it is the place the A listers stay. Out of my league but i was nice to eat there and get a look how the other half live
Also, think about all the skills you’ve learned along the way! The more you learn, the more you have to build on in the future. Rob said he never went to college, but we both have. I studied TV communications because I thought that was the path I was meant to follow. Unfortunately, some things happened that took me in a different direction. I went through a devastating breakup with a girl that sent me down a dark path for a while. Looking back, though, I believe things happened for a reason because I ended up devoting seven years of my life to caring for my grandparents until they passed away. It wasn’t the path I originally envisioned for myself, but being there for them was something meaningful that I’ll always carry with me.
That is a lot, Mark! You definitely didn’t waste your time, though, because throughout your journey in your majors, you’ve learned a lot about what has worked and what hasn’t. It can’t have been easy getting into a college like Trinity! Congratulations on that achievement! You should be proud of yourself!
We’re talking about possibly coming over to Ireland because my family would love to finally visit the homeland of our ancestors! I’m not sure if it will happen yet, but we’re discussing it. It would be amazing to explore our Irish roots and experience the country our family came from!
Did you know that back in high school, I was in a band called High Voltage? 😂🤘 I noticed your banner, and it reminded me of that. The band never really went anywhere, but we couldn’t come up with a name, so I suggested High Voltage.
We played random oldies, lol. The funny thing is, Rob said I can’t play guitar, but even though I was the drummer in the band, I actually had to teach our so-called guitarist how to play! 🤣 Honestly, most of the band members didn’t give a shit about the music. They were more interested in partying and getting shit-faced, lol. 🍻
