How To Live With No Regrets.
There was this Australian caretaker that wrote a book in 2012 about life experiences. As she was a caretaker, she took the opportunity to discuss this topic with many of her patients. The patients she had that were close to death would get the same question from her. What were your five biggest regrets in life? So many people who lead different lives, with different families, and morals. Yet they had the same regrets. If you asked yourself that question right now what would your 5 biggest regrets be?

The Relationship Killer
There are actually several forms of jealousy that are also rooted in some sort of psychiatric disorder. Including Othello Syndrome. I would not have been hip to this magnitude of jealousy myself had I not experienced it. There is another name for this type of jealousy is Delusional Jealousy. According to the Medical Science Monitor. Delusional jealousy is described as a psychiatric phenomenon in which an individual has a delusional belief that their spouse (or sexual partner) is being unfaithful [6]. It is also known as morbid jealousy, pathological jealousy, conjugal paranoia, or Othello syndrome [6]. As described by Easton et al., it remains unclear what differentiates each of these disorders. Nevertheless, it is clear that delusions are only present in individuals suffering from delusional disorder-jealousy.

Love Given and Love Received
It was crazy to think that way. Everyone deserves love. You get what you put into it. I believe I have experienced enough trauma and pain to really know how to love and understand a person. How to respect and appreciate their individuality. Life is a process you have to take it step by step. If every step you take is wonderful and holds some magic then that is what your life will be.

Generous Love
Oh, be generous love; Come find me. My feet are sore and my heart is tired from looking for you, you see. I feel worn, weak, and weary. Most of all confused. Generous lover I don’t want to feel used. I feel like I am empty, just running on fumes. I know generosity does not last. I have learned this and many other lessons from a lonely past. Just this once, just for me, can you pretend to be searching for me? You want to hold me tight, so I feel secure. Like I am not alone in all that I have to endure. You are with me by my side. Giving and never hiding. You are a generous lover, and I will believe in your generosity just as I have believed the generously loving lie.

If the Universe is listening.......
I wish my love would leave/ Why did my love go? Are you as confused as my mind with all this jumbling around? You are so powerful, so immense, and limitless. I think of the sky. Silent all around me, trying to keep every desire I speak in mind, sorting through the confused thinking I go through. The depression and mood swings, the mess that is my mind. Which of all these requests will I learn what I still don’t know? You know, from my heart and my constantly changing thoughts. Questioning what I dreamt of the day before. Is this what is best, or should I aim for more? Never quite satisfied. I am battling myself in this war. I can see this is a task for you from me. From deep down, I am sending a sincere apology. I will forgive myself and apply a different strategy: a little less confusion, how is a minor catastrophe. Let’s take a deep breath and slow down. Be present at the moment where a simple thought may be found. Maybe wait until dark to gaze at the stars and the sparkling dust that makes us. Searching for the dust of the star I came from, not all those I see. Try to ignore the shiny ones. The ones I’m always trying to be. The whole world has quieted. It has all gone still, letting me search my own heart for how I feel. Peace goes through me; I feel it enter as I breathe. Acceptance is what I long for. To stop being everything everyone wants me to be. As the Universe listens so intently and it’s asking what it is that I need. I reply at barely a whisper, “I am looking to find myself, I just dream to know me.”

Thursday's Child Has Far To Go....
Slow down, graceful lady. There is so much her eager mind should know. Yet, she walks with the knowledge nobody else knows. Slow down, lady of grace; you will do fair at a much milder pace. To take in all that is around you. Even turmoil you're sure to face. With no fear, you march on with no doubt to your song. Begging to lead the way, but far yet you have to go, so not on this day. You still have so very far to go, so many things to see, so many oats to sow. One day will come, and it will all have passed. You will wish you had made it last. Don't worry a bit, lady of grace. You have far yet to go, so be wise, and set your own pace.

What Quora and Medium Brought to My Life. What do you have Vocal?
I had experienced some trauma in my life. The kind that feels like someone punched you in the stomach so hard it took your breath away. The kind that leaves you stinking because getting up to take a shower is just too much work and not worth it. You completely shut down, isolate, withdraw into yourself. Don't answer your phone, your door because you are not sure you even exist. Do you? Can you feel this much pain and exist? About two weeks had gone by with me in a trance most of the time. Crying and was reminded of how alone I was. When I somehow found myself on Quora. I saw that people all over the world were also depressed. Heartbroken, or just felt unloved. It wasn't just me. They were asking for help. For advice, for anyone to listen to and understand. I started to answer other quorans. Advise the lost and the meek. Connect and relate with them.
