Sometimes we just people to listen

 Sometimes we share things with people for them to listen nothing more. Some will give advice thinking that's what we want or need yet in reality it's not that we want a response.  Sometimes we may say we don't know what to do. Sometimes we just need them to say I'm here. It's not that everyone is looking for attention or wanting you to save or fix their problems.  They just want to not bottle it up. Some might have a therapist to talk to that helps them through things. Sometimes we just want friends to listen and it can be a lot. None of us are perfect. Don't tell them to just talk to their therapist about their problems. Yes, we should ask each other if the other is okay before we talk about our problems and sometimes it creates problems that don't have to be there if people would say I am not in the right head space to listen and maybe we can talk about it later. It's not that people aren't working on their problems even if they are sharing this with you. If they ask for advice give it. They may not be seeking answers like you think.  Ask if they want your opinion or advice.  Don't just assume that they do. There are times people give unsolicited advice and someone just needed to vent. Just be kind because people go through enough and have to live with themselves at the end of the day. Do not compare your life to theirs. You are not them. Life isn't a competition. It isn't who has more trauma than who. Sometimes people need to stop hearing and actually pay attention and listen.  Sometimes people need to shut up. The world doesn't revolve around any of us.

Stop giving the negative people attention

 Stop giving the negative people of the world so much attention.  Stop making negative people so famous for negative stuff. It's disgusting that the people who are doing horrible things are being given that attention. We as people see it in people's real lives and social media. Social media is where we need to start drawing the line. If we would take that attention away and ignored the bad behavior maybe just maybe they would see that it isn't good. People have turned negative into this is a social normal. It is not a social normal. Stop feeding the negative and toxic behavior. Stop saying it's normal.  I'd like to see more of you sharing people who are trying to succeed in life, build each other up, helping one another with small business or businesses, spreading love and light, helping people who are less fortunate, listening to others, being there for people who have depression, anxiety, PTSD,and much more.  So many could be successful if everyone supports everyo

Cursed House

  It's a dark stormy night this Halloween night. The clouds  are ominous.  You can feel the energy from the storm. 5 friends and me are staying in an abandoned house deep in the Bayou of Louisiana.  I had picked the place. My friends and I love spooky things. This year we are hoping for a good scare because last year we went to a cemetary and it was just a bunch of teenagers messing with us. We get to the abandoned house before it starts storming.  There is a fireplace in the living room and we light a fire to stay warm and cozy.  "Ari what is the plan?" my boyfriend asks. "I thought we would eat and check the house out after." My friends and I make sandwiches. We eat in the living room. While we are eating we hear kids laughing. We get up to see where it is coming from and find nothing.  It is  a big house you can get lost in because the house is made like a maze. "This house is strange," Joe says. "Did you know  it was made like a maze?&quo
