What are the qualities and traits that other people have that I admire

Ah see this is a good one, I see loads of qualities in my friends that I would love to have. In no particular order, I give you…

  1. Emotional regulation – Yes sadly I have massive issues with emotional control which others seem to possess
  2. Focus – I have too many plates spinning at any time to bring one plate down and finish seems impossible.
  3. Procrastiation – I can sit there for hours hallucinating shit but not focus on being productive
  4. Intellect – I wing it, would be nice to borrow a few of my friend’s brains.
    We will cap it there as it’s just plain depressing but having friends who have these traits makes it an honour to call them my friends.

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
View all responses

I am well emotional. Especially when it has something to do with the following:

  • Family – especially the kids when they smile, laugh, have an engaging conversation.
  • Mile stones – Borthdays, Christmases and special events where we hug each other and are generally having a moment.
  • Church – The unity of people brings a tear to my eye when they talk about jesus and have fierce retoric. I’m not religious I just got when the ex-wife was making me.
  • Speeches – Terrible for that but oddly enough I can carry out speeches at funerals with no real issues.
  • Bag pipes – Not because of the pain caused to my ear drum but being half scottish means I have a special place in my heart for them.

Someone might think I have emotional personality disorder..

Short Story: About Us

(Grasping, sorry)

You were so excited to meet your blog readers in person! You had been blogging for years, and you had built up a loyal following. You had never met any of your readers before, but you felt like you knew them all.

You met your readers at a coffee shop in your town. There were about 10 of them, and they were all so friendly and welcoming. You talked for hours about your blog, your writing, and your lives.

You learned so much about your readers that day. You learned about their jobs, their families, and their hobbies. You also learned about their love of your blog. They told you how much your blog had helped them, and how much they appreciated your writing.

You had such a great time meeting your readers. You felt so grateful for their support, and you were so glad that you had gotten to know them.

As you were leaving the coffee shop, you felt inspired. You were inspired to keep writing, and you were inspired to connect with your readers even more.

You knew that you would never forget that day. It was a day when you felt truly connected to your community.

Short Story: about a song

I first heard the song “Like a Stone” by Audioslave when I was going through a really tough time in my life. I was grieving the loss of a loved one, and I was feeling lost and alone.

The song’s lyrics really resonated with me. They spoke to the pain and confusion of loss, and they gave me a sense of comfort and understanding.

The song’s slow, deliberate tempo and haunting melody also helped me to connect with my emotions. I found myself listening to the song over and over again, and each time I would feel a little bit better.

Short Story: About opportunities

I was sitting in my usual spot at the coffee shop, working on my laptop. I was so engrossed in my work that I didn’t notice the woman who sat down at the table next to me.

She was beautiful, with long dark hair and piercing blue eyes. She ordered a coffee and started reading a book.

I couldn’t help but stare at her. She was so graceful and elegant, and I felt a strange connection to her.

After a while, she looked up and caught me staring. I blushed and looked away.

A few minutes later, she got up and left. I watched her go, and I felt a pang of regret. I should have said something to her.

I sat there for a long time, thinking about what could have been. I had missed an opportunity, and I knew that I would regret it for a long time.

Short Story: About nature

The hunter stood in the clearing, his rifle in hand. He had been waiting for hours, but he was patient. He knew that the deer would eventually come.

The sun was setting, and the air was cool and crisp. The hunter could hear the sounds of the forest all around him. The birds were singing, and the leaves were rustling in the wind.

Suddenly, the hunter saw a deer emerge from the trees. It was a beautiful animal, with a sleek coat of brown fur and a pair of large antlers.

The hunter took aim and fired. The deer fell to the ground with a thud. The hunter walked over to the deer and checked to make sure it was dead.

As he stood there, he thought about the beauty of the natural world. He was grateful for the opportunity to experience it, and he knew that he would never forget this moment.

Short Story: About a loved one

I remember the first time I saw you. You looked so peaceful and content. I knew right then and there that I had to get to know you.

We started talking, and I quickly realized that you were everything I had ever wanted in a partner. You were kind, funny, intelligent, and beautiful. I was falling in love with you, and I knew that you felt the same way.

We’ve been together for years now, and I love you more than ever. You’re my best friend, my lover, and the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I can’t imagine my life without you. You make me laugh, you make me think, and you make me feel loved. I’m so grateful to have you in my life.
