  1. There are a couple different kinds of meditation, and although I'm not an expert on them, I know a little bit... In some meditation, you focus all of your attention and concentration on one single thing eg. the object of your stress. That single-minded focus can help you better understand your problem, and possibly view it more realistically. I know that sometimes I'll worry about something which can then blow out of proportion. This kind of meditation can help you see the problem for what it really is, and make it look more manageable. So I guess this kind of meditation would be helpful if you had a problem that was stressing you out, and you wanted to solve the problem so that you didn't need to worry about it anymore. There's also another type of meditation where the goal is to calm your mind and basically not think about anything. This is really helpful for if you always have a bunch of little, everyday worries going on in your mind, or if you have difficulties putting them out of your mind when you're trying to relax. It's true that it's very possible that those worries will come back after you finish meditation, but the meditation does give your mind some respite from those worries, so that you can better face them later. Like I said, I may be wrong about some of these points, but I've done a bit of meditating, and this is what I've found that it does for me. I hope it was helpful to someone
  2. My mom thanking me for "going along with her request" after telling me where I can and can't go or what I can and can't do with my life (even though I am basically an independent adult). Like I ever had a choice. When my family members tell me I'm "too sensitive" when I start crying because something they said or did hurt me. Now it makes me feel like I don't even deserve to tell people about things that bother me like that, because it must be less of a big deal than I make it out to be.
  3. My boyfriend's cousin is apprenticing to be a tattoo artist, but he's already gotten contacted by people online to commission regular pencil drawings and portraits for them. He's never gone to college, and right now he's 20 years old. I think the biggest aid for him was that he put his work out on the internet for people to see, which is something you could do, even if you decided to stay in school. So I guess it's still a pretty tough decision, and one that only you can make, but sometimes it helps to try to think outside the box, and think of things that you could do to push you towards your goal, regardless of whether you decided to stay in school or not. Either way, good luck on your decision, either choice is completely valid, and it's great that you're actually thinking about it ( I know so many people who've regretted staying in school, even though they had doubts).
  4. Socialism and Communism are the same thing. America is a Capitalist country. You don't "buy votes" in politics, you "lend ears."
