    Have you ever... messed up your sleeping schedule? :D (As I did these days, that's why I am writing this post in 6AM).

    My sleeping schedule is p much the only thing in my life that isn't FUBAR. As in, it is flakked up, but not absolutely. At least I don't stay up late to 5 AM.

    Bottom line: Let go of the hate, otherwise it'll consume you. DON'T ever let such people change you for who you are, DON'T become them.

    IDK, I believe that one should always have an option to forgive, but not forget. You remember how you say that "you should always be yourself and never change"? People (like myself) use this to avoid changing for the better and remain assholes forever. So I don't have hope for people overall... I can barely spare some for myself.

    Well... you can achieve anything if you believe and if you put effort to it.

    And what if I believe I can break a concrete wall with my head?

    Have you ever been greeted by an unfamiliar person on the street?

    At least once. Usually it turns out to be my former classmates whom I have forgotten.


    Okay, one more song-related question. Have you ever heard a line or several lines in a song that you felt was almsot about you and/or someone else you know?


    "Across the savage skies and through the fissures in the fields,
    The rumble of the engines and the trundle of the wheels,
    Through hell and horror trudge and yet their spirits never yield.
    Will they sing of these forsaken pawns of war?"
    -Miracle Of Sound, "Pawns of War".

    Yep, several times. :D

    Might be because of what's happening recently, I don't know.

    I never said to forget, I myself remember the scars that I got from people who hurt me in the past and these scars are for life, that's for sure. What I said is -> do not hold a grudge.

    That's because it's what you choose to be or choose to live by and act upon. Everything in life comes down to a choice, everything. By "never changing", I mean... never change into bad, but if there are things in your life that you should improve -> go for it, live each day trying to do better and improve. But you'll never change unless CHOOSE to, everything comes down to a choice, as simple as that. It might be easier for you to feel this way, but if you want to change -> now's the time, my friend. A person is the one who chooses in life what to become, what to do and what/whom to live for, it's always "The choice", it depends on you, dude.

    Again -> Everything comes down to a choice, we all have that freedom to choose, just don't hold a grudge against them, that's all. No one says that you should forget what they did or said, but everyone makes mistakes and we should always forgive people, holding a grudge as in (vendetta of some sort) is bad. You'll never be different than the other people if you are just like them, hating, despising, holding a grudge etc.

    Yep! There'll be always a song that has some lyrics that might be connected to my life and I do enjoy that in fact.


    Alright,

    Have you ever... decided to change things for the better? ;P

    That's the point - the only thing I remember about them were their actions, and even then only vague. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing left of them are the consequences of their actions. A fitting payback, even if unintentional on my part.

    Couple of times, I can't recall if it ever worked out though.


    Have you ever associated a period in your life with stuff you've been hooked to? (e.g. Summer 2019 was GoT and WoWS for me, and I guess there's your study of the Scriptures...)

    I've got a lot of scars too, a lot... trust me on that. I know exactly how you feel, but how we prevail is by forgiving them and moving forward, because everyone makes mistakes and can change for the better later on.

    Hmmmm... not sure to be honest, I was always hooked on Sci-Fi stuff (the most), I do believe that there were some movies and songs that related something similar in my life, but not completely because everyone's life is different. But I'd say "Yes", there must have been something that I can't just think of right now.

    I didn't catch the "Scriptures" reference, but I study the Scriptures because I love my Creator and I want to have everlasting life with Him, though unfortunately most people don't get that part, they think if they just simply believe or attend "Sunday church (btw the real Sabbath is in Saturday, not Sunday)" that they have that free gift, uh uh... it's not as simple as that, since it's "Believe, Obey, Abide in Me" and endure to the end.

    There are some people in Scripture that have similar events that happened (or are happening) in my life, but I can't ever compare their events with mine, they had it the hardest. But I also believe that we have it the hardest in this period of time, because this period of time people are just not submitted to His Authority and when time runs out, well... you want to know why He hasn't come yet? -> He wants as many people as possible to come to Him, because many people are not ready yet, there are even people destined to come to Him that are not even born yet... but eventually time will run out and everyone must submit to Him now before it's too late.

    Okay, I am NOT trying to 'preach', but just stating a simple fact. If you (or anyone else reading this post) is offended, then my apologies, let me know to put it in spoiler tags next time, so it won't be in front of your eyes the next time.


    Anywho... this is a funny one:

    Have you ever... wondered where (IOC)Wanderer is wandering at? :D

    Nope, I had rather wished that I was living in the Eternal Kingdom and not in this fallen world, but still have to endure this one until then. But on a second though, who knows... maybe I did when I was like 11-12 y.o. lol

    Have you ever... wished that you were able to travel to a destination despite the difficulty (i.e. when it's Martial Law / Lockdown)?
