WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STOP HUNGER

Most people think that it is WEIRD to cry. I DISAGREE!!

Cry when you feel
SAD
MAD
UPSET
CONFUSED
FRUSTRATED
MISUNDERSTOOD
IRRITATED
UNHAPPY
DEPRESSED
WORRIED
PERPLEXED
CONCERNED
HELPLESS
HOPELESS
BURDENED
OVERWHELMED
JUST CRY

Emotions should NEVER be kept bottled up inside of you. If all you do is keep your emotions locked away, you will NEVER KNOW what real emotions, feel like in the future, how to express them in a healthy way, towards other people. You will become like a bottle of Champagne, all stirred up and confused inside, ready to EXPLODE at the slightest touch. I say cry when you need to. Crying cleanses the body. Crying is the bodies natural way of getting rid of all these emotions. Do NOT let YOUR emotions OVERWHELM you. It is unhealthy to leave all of these emotions, that are building up inside of you, with no where to go, you need to GET them out of you.
JUST CRY
 
Everyone IS different. What works for one person WILL NOT work for you. You need to figure out YOUR own way of dealing with your emotions. DO NOT let public opinion determine your emotional state of mind. Do not listen to what other people think, DO what is RIGHT for you. Everyone is different.
JUST CRY

As you cry, you figure out what caused your feelings to be hurt and why you started to cry. When you cry, you feel angry that the person said the hurtful words, without even realizing that they had hurt your feelings. You cry for a little while, feeling angry at that person, having a million thoughts moving thru your head. As you cry, you start to wonder, what made you SOO upset in the first place. Was it the careless way they talked to you. The tone of there voice as they spoke to you. Are you more upset that they did not even realize that they had hurt your feelings. You feel like your opinion does not even matter to them. As you cry a little more, you realize that the thing that made you so upset to begin with was not a very big deal and that you are getting upset for nothing. The only one upset is you. The other person probably does not even remember saying the mean words to you. You need to CALM DOWN and RELAX. Take a few deep breathes, wipe your eyes and relax. It is time to go to sleep, everything will be done and over with in the morning. A brand new day awaits you.

JUST RELAX 

It eats you up inside until that is WHO you are and all you have become
DESTROY'S from within
No one even RECOGNIZES the person YOU used to be
You loose friends when YOU are ALWAYS angry

Why do you want all of the
RAGE
UNHAPPINESS
BITTERNESS
GRIEF
LONELINESS
INSIDE of YOU

Take these EMOTIONS and THROW them AWAY
They are UNHEALTHY and HARMFUL to your body
Why do you continue to carry around ALL of this EXTRA BAGAGE
Build a bridge and GET OVER IT

Ask God to take this anger away from YOU
Ask for INNER PEACE
PRAY!! PRAY!! PRAY!!

I was sitting in a Windows Professional computer class at Riverland Community College. I was in class taking notes unaware that anything was occuring at that very moment. The teacher ended the class at 9:30, I went to the Student Lounge to get a Mountain Dew from the pop machines. I walk in the room to see the room full of people watching the television. The first image I see is them showing the replay of the second plane hitting the Twin Towers. The screen is blacked out with smoke for an instant, I am in total SHOCK. The room is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The announcer tells how two hijacked planes flew into the Twin Towers. As I listen my mind goes kind of blank unable to comprehend the images that I am seeing on television, I just stand there stunned. I was in SHOCK that whole day. I some how muddled thru the rest of my classes, wanting to be with my family the entire time. After my final class I went home to be with my mom. I needed to be with people who loved and cared about me.

Put you at ease with a gentle smile or kind word.
Made you feel relaxed and comfortable, even when you did not know her very well.
Her infectiouse laugh
Her bueatiful hair
Her shining eyes

I first met Kira's mom when I went over to Kira's house with Kay'c one day. At first I felt kind of awkward, I did not really know anyone in the house. I just sat on the couch, listening to Kira and Kay'c talk for a while, not really saying much of anything. I looked at the things in the livingroom, commented on how neat the wall of mirrors was on the wall. Then Kira's mom started talking to me and it made me feel at ease and welcomed in her home.
