underneath it all

lately i've been feeling really down. I mean i have days that ARE happy..but sometimes i just dont where i stand anymore. I do know my negative and positive qualities but i dont know the whole picture to it. I guess thats just the whole part of growing up and all but still, i just feel really lost right now. Friends/Ppl arent making anything better, so i really dont know where to turn to anymore. I dont like depending on ppl because i rarely did that long time ago but lately i've been really confused with everything that i do depend on such things.. Everyone here is way older than me but i guess that doesnt give a reason to say "yes they know less than me" or "yes they know more than me" But i am up for suggestions. Anyone?

Luz!
You are entitled to your opinion, no matter what your age....
We all need to be valued for who we are and we get that acceptance from others. It would be great if we could give everything we need to ourselves, but, it just isn't good enough. It is natural to look to others for validation of our feelings and for who we are. It is true that sometimes we do not get what we are looking for and what we receive is negative and hurts our feelings...then we take a step back and look at it just as you are doing!

I am 44, my IQ is 148 or some such crazy number...but, what I keep in mind is that when I think I know everything, that is when I stop learning and growing and experiencing the little things...the important things...
No human on this Earth knows everything.

Luz! I enjoy your sense of humor, I love your honesty, I think you are a fun person with a lot going for you! (I love anime, by the way!)

I have had people be mean to me on these boards at times...some never talk to me...I don't care...you can't please all the people all the time!
Be yourself because YOU are very valuable! (You talk to me!)
Seriously, Luz...I love you! You may think what I have said is a bunch of BS...but, it did come from my heart and not my other end...

P.S. I thought this was going to be a post about that song I love by "No Doubt"...Gwen can really sing! Love that girl! She is fun and not afraid to be who she is and express her opinions!

thanx star, i really appreciate that you responded. And i love you too!! ^.^ lolz i think you really understand me... and not much ppl can, a lotta ppl find me "confusing" cus im always changing(thoughts, the person i am) and such. You deserve all the best things in a life can offer cus thats how great you are! ok im getting all mushy LOL i'll stop.

LOL! Luz...just keep on being you!

I have said before that everyone is a multifaceted gem! I mean it...everyone is complex, but, that is part of what makes everyone unique and special.

No one is the same all the time...thoughts change with growth and learning and as this occurs there is personal growth that changes who we are...

You are normal! Sure, you are silly (at times), fun, funny, inspiring, smart, talented...the list goes on...but this is all part of the multifaceted person that you are! A Gem!

Hey Luz,

Don't stress. Take a deep breath now. I saw the unwarranted tanty thrown your way, and have to say that YOU my dear were the adult in that situation. Your opinions are as valid as anyone else's here...and age has nothing to do with it. It is an open forum for members to express themselves.

So don't worry. We all have those days but they too will pass. Try not to let any nastiness that comes your way (from here) affect you. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but shooting off from the hip without any foundation or rationality is shallow and should be treated with the respect it deserves...which is none.

Take care.

thanx lawgoddes :o) yeah we all do have those days. Thanx for replying, i really admire a lot of ppl on this board, you guys have gone through a lot so i suppose you all know more than i can ever know at this time of age for me lol but thats why i like coming here cus in a way, this board makes me "see" and "learn" things. And thats what i like to do. New experiences and such.

Hey..no one EVER knows it all..we are all students of life. I am sure there are things you could teach me.

i dont know ^^;;
