A Sanctuary for Real People sharing Real Love

I'm not being morbid, but I am just a little disturbed with the passing of a close friend's younger sister. Micoy had been sick for a long time, she had nine brain surgeries to take out a brain tumor that keeps on recurring, was bedridden the latter part of last year and was immobile, unseeing and could no longer speak the last days of her life.

Priests, nuns, family, relatives and friends were prayer warriors who prayed for her healing and recovery for years, but it was a downhill struggle...

Thank you for the opportunity to use your wonderful widgets. May Peace and love shower your being!

another one from me... sorry about that. I think it is part of finding my path, and I get really interesting viewpoints here. I have a boyfriend and we have been together for almost a year (and known eachother for 6 years, and been really close friends). He is wonderful in every way and really loves me, but my concerns are that we don't have anything in common (except buddhism, but he refuse to discuss that of spiritual reasons), and we have different future plans (I want to move to another...

What have I done
Done to deserve the silence
The silence you are giving me

Choices must be made
Made before losing sight
Sight of what we want

Allow me to become myself

But I need your support
Your support and trust
Trust that I can do it

Give me the chance
The chance to tell you
Tell you what is on my heart

For doubts are rising
Rising now you are silent
Silent and far away

This accident happened in circa 2007-2008. My friend and I was visiting her relative that night. It's about 2am when she sent me back to my house. She insisted to drive back alone. Since her house is about 10km away, so I let her drive alone.

Five minutes later she text me saying she hit a bike at four junction near my house. She asked me if I could come and check out what had happened. She told me "I could not see the rider".

About five to seven minutes later, I rode my bike to the...

does anyone know any simple technics to use for empaths living with 4(5) other people? I need some kind of shielding, because other people thoughts and feelings gets mixed up with mine and I cant separate them. The same happens if I live at my boyfriends place, but at least he is only one other person. I cannot easily get alone time these days, and without it this confusion sets in. I used to have a place to withdraw to, but I dont anymore. Solitude really helps, but is it something else I can...

I have a friend that I have known for almost ten years now, the last six years we have lived in different cities but kept in touch ( a lot) via e-mail and met several times a year. But somehave I have always been really ambivalent to this relationship as she can be very intense, critical and bragging (due to her low self esteem). Because of the distance it has worked out lately, and by mail we have a nice friendship. But whenever we go out together i feel very overrun, as I tend to be very...
