Yep, the world definitely has so many horrendous tragedies and murders in the media, that by the time a commercial break comes along, one has likely already moved on in their mind thus leaving little time to really grasp ones feelings about such events. Life definitely is scarier than things on other levels of existence.

I agree too with what you said: "Every life is interesting to somebodys eyes." So true!

I've come to peace within knowing a lot of things i've experienced i can't share with anyone really. I've only opened up to two people closest to me, and while i know they know i'm not crazy in the head, because they haven't experienced what i have, they can't deeply understand. so while they listen and respond shortly, and do believe me, i still never felt satisfied. So i dropped the want for someone to understand. I completely get why they couldn't. My experiences don't affect me negatively anymore like they used too, when I would isolate. I can have fun with people who like to do "normal" activities and then I can chat online with people who share the same abilities I do and read as much as I want about it on my free time :)

Yes, I agree with all of them. You need a job, a routine, and to keep your mind on everyday stuff. Normal things. You will lose yourself, mind and go crazy if you focus on that other stuff. Especially since most people won't believe you...those are things you just dont go around talking about...and if you do...be careful who you tell it to.

I have had psychic experiences since I was a toddler, atleast that's my first memory of it, I been visited by the deceased, precognitive dreams, and some clairvoyance.....but I do not live in that world. I do not occupy my time with those things, I occupy my time with work, kids, house, bills, cooking, art, going to the beach, and spending time with friends. You got to stay grounded.

I'm the same way...I opened up to my sister, only to have her use it against me later on, and tell everyone. I did not know she had the jealous streak she had....she hid it well. I'm not close to my mom, but I did tell her and she believed me. She actually wants me to write about it...but I'm not convinced that's the right thing to do, it see,s these are very personal experiences...and are better kept on a spiritual forum under anonymity.
