Middle of the road

I don�t know if this will help, but something that helped me was reading a story called All of Us Need To Belong by Billy Mills (who was �an Oglala Sioux Indian, and won the gold medal for the 10,000-meter race in the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo�).



In his short story he talks about how his mother was �three-quarters French and one-quarter Indian� and his father was a Lakota (Sioux)�. Mills explains that because of this when he was a boy-- living in poverty and a mother who died when he was very young-- the �white people didn�t want� him, and his Lakota classmates said �the only thing worse than a Wasicu (white man) is an Ieska (half blood)." He recalls thinking he wished he was either one thing or the other.�



And the advice his dad gave him was so remarkable, I highlighted it right there in the book. His dad said, �It is possible to walk in two worlds, with one spirit.�



His dad died not long after from a stroke, and he went through bereavement and depression, but through this he developed a passion for running�which led him to be the gold medal winner 13 years later.



His dad�s advice, �walk in two worlds, with one spirit�, really stood out to me. Everyone is on a journey-a physical journey and a spiritual journey simultaneously. And knowing that you are walking home, or that (in relation to Salvation) you are home already�that you found the answers spiritually, and you are walking towards them�gives you piece that you are just as accepted and just as known and just as loved in the other road, the not so certain road of life.



I have friends who are total opposites, and when I'm with different friends, certain parts of my character comes out. But this does not bother me, because all the diversity makes sense on some higher level. At least God understands it! lol



One day you are going to find someone who loves you for you, BC. And you are already loved, while being perfectly understood, by Jesus.

Thank you DevotedLove.



I think its promiscuous for an individual to divulge that information.



When girls who are, do-- sometimes it means they're trying to get attention. And that is a sure way to get attention--from creeps, albeit.

It does seem sometimes like people are looking for females to entertain them.

I've received some winks, winked back and they didn't respond. bah. Maybe I'm lazy but I feel the man is supposed to do the hard work of empathic empathy and suchlike instead of waiting for me to correspond, respond, reflect. I don't know, seems like alot of work. lol
