Well actually yes I am at a crossroads. Either I'm going to go to school for a 4-year degree, abandoning my cad degree. Or I'm going to be going to seminary School in at least half of these choices. I understand that none of these are the kind of things you want to just jump into. I feel like I have two to three years to decide. I'm not sure if I have this irrational fear or not, but I worry if I wait too long to marry a girl around my age, she might be too old to have a child. I even have a cousin whom he and his wife despite being 3 to 4 years older than me, are running into complications with a pregnancy in their mid 30s. And I know I can adopt, but I want to have at least one the old fashioned way. I feel like I'm hung up on the fear of making the wrong choice and regretting it later. I mean if I get married I can still become a deacon... But like what if I was meant to be a monk or a priest?

Real it really should that's why I spread a lot of love in this thread. Enjoy the hearts, I got rate limited for a moment for it. And I agree, there's no reason for beefs to exist if people don't have to talk. That's the thing I like about beef, it's only as big of a deal as you make it out to be. Less effort is like a broiled untenderized steak, most effort is making beef wellington. It gets bigger the more beef there is on the plate. It's only worth it if you want the effort, and honesty is also important. And to be COMPLETELY honest I'm in the mood for some chicken and rice. All this talk of food is making me hungry. As per mental health, it's important to not avoid your own issues, if you hide from them then you are just avoiding triggers. Best thing that can help is working with a therapist on coping mechanisms since no one can control the situation. And one thing I've learned is if you can't handle a situation whatsoever, you don't put yourself in that situation. It's why an alcoholic doesn't go to a bar, or go to "liquor stores" to buy cigarettes & candy.

@gabriel_true Day 11: Just thought you should know I was about to type your name as gabriel_tuna. Why, you ask? Because I was going to tell you I had tuna for dinner, and because it was at the forefront of my mind, I almost misspelled true lol. Anywho, I had a tuna fish sandwich with lettuce on it and chips for dinner, it was delicious! I especially love the lettuce part. In fact, I love the taste of lettuce so much (I'm constantly side eyeing Sobo cause he doesn't like lettuce) that whenever I eat lettuce with anything: bread, vegetables, meat, etc. That's all I can taste afterwards is the lettuce, and I don't mind it one bit. My mom also got me Goobers (chocolate covered peanuts) for a snack. I feel bad for anyone that can't or doesn't enjoy chocolate and peanuts, especially together. - Hoping You're In Good Health: FriendWei (think of it as saying friendly but friend-no? It isn't funny? Okay then.)
