> This is exactly my problem! My soul yearns for the surf, the currents, moving not still water, but because of a bad relationship when I was younger I've been scarred and now for a sense of well-being I need the calm.

This is -my- problem, I need calm, I need peace of mind, but I keep doing things that are crazy, and I keep on doing things maybe I shouldnt, making my life more complex than it should be at this moment... but there is no moloch here, heavy judger of men... our choices are the ones we have made within the best of our abilities, learn and progress, seek the calm that you need, then barrel ride the surf; maui, one brother amoungst two other named maui, lassoed the sun, a spider as it crawled quickly across the sky, far too fast for her mothers sisal rope to dry... he plucked 8 of his legs, leaving 8 remaining, and left a slow scuttling sun, edging across the horizon... but now the days are too long, cried his mother, cant you put his legs back on again, now that my sisal has dried... colour and contrast, its part of our lives...

> Which brings me to wondering about therapy. I have to make choices, nobody can make them for me. So what is the point of thrashing this out in front of a psych?

because perhaps they can say some words that trigger thoughts within you, that only you could have known... dont think of it as instruction, but as catalyst, for your own feelings, you control your life, there are no easy answers that can be read from a book, or learnt in a doctorate degree, otherwise we could all rely on computers to diagnose us... the answers allways come from within, we just need someone sometimes to dig them out...

>Why do I cling to the old ones?? Gees, my best friend is from grade school, (though I love her dearly) my point is that it should be okay to forge forward with new ones. It just gets harder as we get older, sigh!

I'm still good friends with my best friend from highschool (im 30 now), I dont go out of my way to make many 'close' friends, most people aren't worth it... make new friends, sometimes you'll find a great one, but love the close ones you have, sometimes one is all you need...

-pax- again.
