Many many years ago I interviewed for a job in a non profit in Washington, D.C. My prospective boss asked me to go out to lunch and my choices were the expensive restaurant next door or a cafeteria at NEA. I chose the former.
Yes I got the job, but I later found out I almost didn’t because I had stupidly forgotten this was a NONPROFIT with a limited budget and I should have been more sensitive to this.
Why did I get the job? I was red haired, boss’s daughters had red hair, and this was a mitigating factor. When I walked into the office on the first day of work, his secretary AND administrative assistant were red haired.
Moral to story: Order somewhere in the middle. Avoid all traps.

I would first recommend that you look up the phrase “bad picker.” The way I\'ve heard it explained by a therapist is that all people have different “attachment styles.” That would also be a good term to look up.

I would first recommend that you look up the phrase “bad picker.” The way I\’ve heard it explained by a therapist is that all people have different “attachment styles.” That would also be a good term to look up. It all seems to boil down to emotional and social dysfunctions that we develop during childhood. This is hard to undo for two main reasons:
Sometimes, when someone is finally a miserable, broken mess, and have nowhere to turn, they\’ll get therapy, start to uncover their issues, and develop better emotional intelligence so that they are drawn to better romantic partners and stop sabotaging healthy relationships.

No single food or single food group gives the human body all the nutrients it requires to function well and be optimally healthy.

No single food or single food group gives the human body all the nutrients it requires to function well and be optimally healthy.
Fruit is pretty much just sugar: fructose, or fruit sugar, the simplest form of carbohydrate.
The human body needs carbs but it ALSO needs protein and fat. Fruits do not supply the protein or the fat we need to be healthy.
If you ONLY eat fruit (and even if you drink a sufficient amount of water as well) you will die of malnutrition.
That’s why.

I need help. The night before last I had a dream that me and boyfriend were having a big problem because of his best friend and I was crying. The next day my boyfriend told me he wanted space. I know some people will say it’s Coincidence but I really feel like my dreams are trying to tell me something or prepare me for something. Last night I had another dream and in this one my boyfriend and I were broken up but then we got back together. My cat that passed a few years ago showed up in my dream and she usually does when really bad or confusing times are happening to me. She shows up and it lets me know that it will all be alright. Am I crazy or is this something that actually happens? Are my dreams actually trying to prepare me for what’s gonna happen or are they trying to tell me something?
