can anyone help me figure out the meaning to this quote?

“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.”

-August Wilson

thank you SOOO much (link)
it means to not hide your flaws and mistakes. this guy is saying to get the things that are wrong with you, like bad personality flaws, character flaws, regrets, and try to understand them instead of ignoring them. also, forgive yourself for not always doing the right thing and being perfect in life. if you are able to try to change and try to fix the things that are wrong inside then you will be happier. even though it hurts you have to keep going and know that you are strong and will be a better person by confronting yourself


16/f been with my boyfriend for 10 months. and i messed up realll bad.. don't have time to get into details, but i always have this major attitude and i said something snotty that i really shouldn't have.. i'm an ass. i'm so freaking sorry and i don't know what to do to make it up to him. i am so lost and i'm a mess and i am defnintely wrong here so don't say anything about that.. i'm a complete idiot with the best boyfriend in the whole entire world, and everyone notices. and i always take him for granted.. what the heck should i doo!?? i need something fast, thanks ♥ (link)
if i were you i would send him an email or note apologizing sincerely and showing how much you care about him. if you try to talk to him and say you're sorry you might end up saying something snotty again if you guys get in an argument, so go with something written, it will show you really care enough to take the time to do that.


ok so this is really weird but i was just stretching and i think i pulled a muscle in my boob. its right where the wire in an underwire bra is and i can't sit up straight without it hurting and i cant inhale fully without it hurting. i didn't even know we had a muscle there but if it is pulled or strained, how can i make it hurt less without medication or doctors. (link)
the muscle you probably pulled is your pectoral, which is the muscle beneath your boob that covers your chest. if it hurts really bad, take some advil or tylenol. also keep an ice pack on it and then switch to some sort of heated pad, keep switching and it will feel better in a few days. also, stretch that area litely so that it hurts a little but not much, and be careful.


ok this is not a joke.
i went on my dads computer to do research for a paper we have to write for my science class, and when i went to history he had all this stuff like " hotel sex, gaymen's club" and gross stuff like that and his yahoo email was logged in so i went to it and he had all these messages like "where do you live do you want me to f*ck you or you to f*ck me" and he answered w/ "i live ______ do u have lube and a condom?" (the ____ is where we live" and i like am really scared that he is gay!

and i take after him and i think i might be a lesbian! i really doNOT want 2 be one but i think i am kinda aliitle bit.


so what im asking is how do i no if hes gay or not and how do i make sure i dont become a lsbian?



thanx in advance i will rate high ANY advice. (link)
ok, my dad is gay and it's really not as bad as you might think, although i absolutely agree with you, this is a really strange, awkward, scary situation. if I were you i wouldn't do anything for the time being, just wait it out because it is likely that your mom (if ur parents are still married) is going to find out. after a little while I would suggest talking to your dad, if you talk to your mom, it's kind of like ratting your dad out, and at this point he's going to have a lot of trouble dealing with this situation and coming out of the closet, so try to be supportive. you don't have to be happy about it, just don't try to make him not part of your life anymore. I really don't think you need to worry about being a lesbian because your father is gay. homosexuality is genetic (most likely, although scientists are studying this at the moment), but that doesn't mean that it is hereditary. what i'm trying to say is that you shouldn't try to connect your sexuality to your fathers.
If I were you, i would try not to make yourself straight, as you get older your sexual orientation will become more clear to you, right now you are obviously confused. just keep going out with guys or whatever, and if you have feelings toward a girl just accept them and think about whether they are stronger than the ones you have for guys. just make sure you don't freak out right now, because if you ARE a lesbian, you will be much happier as an adult being in relationships with women than with men, even if it's much harder in our society.
I really hoped i help, but if you have any questions, please ask


Does anyone know of any department stores that sell crystal (fake crystal/diamonds would be suffice) headband things? (link)
wel...claire's would have that, also target. walmart might, but their stuff looks pretty cheap. Also jcpenny, kohls, etc...i think a lot of places


Okay, i weigh 145 pounds and im only 5'1.I know thats wicked embarrassing and i feel so uncomfortable. I really want to loose weight. I have this pilates DVD and i wanted to know if anyone has tried them, and if so do they work. Obviously you have to eat right too but if i eat right and do the pilates workout 3-4 times a week will i loose about 20 pounds before july? does anyone have any other weight loss tips.Thanks in advance (link)
the pilates will help build muscle in your core and such, but if you want to lose weight you need to do more aerobic activities as well. I suggest going for jogs/runs/very quick walking, as well as eating a low calorie diet. you honestly are not that big at all! you are not fat so don't worry too much, but if you want to lose weight then you definitely need to do cardio as well, you could try a cardio video like taebo too, those are really fun!
good luck


Does anyone know how to have good karma? You know, the whole 'what goes around comes around' thing. Are there certain things you should do?

Thanks in advance, xxx (link)
actually, the idea of karma is a buddhist beleif, and what you do in this life will only affect future lives. If you do good things such as don't kill, spread benevolence, etc....your soul will have better lives in the future.
doing good things won't necessarily mean that good things will happen to you. if i were you i'd just be a nice person, (don't insult people/put people down, hurt people) and you will be treated nicely.


for my english class, we're reading "the lovely bones".. is that book any good?.. we're done with the first chapter, and to me, i have no idea why someone would start the book like that. so to the people that had to read it, or did, did you like it?.. (link)
the first chapter is pretty disturbing and strange but the rest of the book is GREAT! i loved that book, and don't decide you don't like it yet, because it gets much better i promise

My only strengths in school are English and History. So for college, which is two years away, I suppose I'd go with an English major. My worry though, is what exactly can I do with that. I don't want to be constrained to just writing articles all the time.


What else can be done with an English major? (link)
on the right side of this website there is a whole list, it's very helpful

13/f

On tuesday, which is a couple days away, my friend is having a mixed boys and girls sleepover with like 15 people and we are going to try to pull an all nighter cos we're staying in her caravan and there's hardly enough room for us to all sleep in there.
I am crap at staying awake, so I would like some tips on how to do it.

I thought maybe it would be best if I got lots of sleep so I wouldn't be tired on tuesday but then I thought that I would get into that routine and my body clock would tell me to go to sleep early tuesday night, so maybe I should start going to bed later? Or maybe I should just go to sleep the usual time?

There is going to be alcohol there, how much should I drink? It's a depressant so If I drink lots will it make me more tired?

And I would like to know how I can get into a normal routine after tuesday night.
So if you have any tips on how to stay awake then please tell me, and answer the questions above please. Thanks in advance, xxx (link)
ok first off, don't drink too much alcohol, you will fall asleep without realizing it and then have a bad hangover the next day. drink a little, whatever that's fine. the night before the party just get 7 or eight hours of sleep, if you only get 5 or 6 you will be really tired, and if you get like 9 or 10 you will also be tired once 1 or 2 rolls around. you could try eating stuff with caffeine before hand, such as chocolate or soda, that will make you wired. also, at the party, as long as it stays loud and you guys aren't just sitting around doing absolutely NOthing, you'll be able to stay awake. i find that the only time i'm tired at all nighters is when i'm bored, so just stay busy, listen to loud music, laugh, dance, talk, and you won't fall asleep


or the clique
thanks =] (link)
i agree with the other person, i love sisterhood of the traveling pants, and i think all of jodi picoults books are amazing, but they are more adult than the clique and such.
maybe the mates, dates series
or the georgia nicholson series (starting with angus, thongs, and full frontal snogging)
you could also try
what my mother doesn't know
the A-list series
summer boys
the au pairs


can you give me a list of all the songs (old, new, any type of music) that are about a "sara"? for example: sara smile, etc. thaknsss (link)
"what sarah said" death cab for cutie
if you have itunes, just go to the itunes store and search for sarah


ok my dad tells me i have extra muscle on my calves, im average size as in about...114 pounds and im 5' 1" well, theyre lower and bigger than normal calves.... how can i get them higher n thinner? (link)
actually...dont listen to shasha, that will only make them more muscly, which doesn't seem to be what you want. just run a lot. sprints and a few miles every other day or so.


Alright, well- to say the least, my legs are absolutely hideous. They're white as a ghost, I have spider veins, stretch marks, scars, little black dots where my hair comes out, and HUGEEE thighs. I just hate it.

So, here's the thing. With summer coming, I don't want to be in Bermuda shorts the whole time-that's what I did last year & I felt like a total fool. But, when I did wear shorts or skirts or ANYTHING that revealed the upper thigh, I was totally embarrassed. I want to wear short skirts/shorts and look hot.

Please don't tell me to be happy with the way I am & not to feel like a fool ...
(link)
ok, if i were you this is what i would do

1: get some sort of tanning lotion. not fake tanner, something like jergens lotion, because you will get tan over a week or two and if you keep doing it it will look very real by the time summer rolls around, if you get fake tanner, it will look orange and stupid.

2: when you get tanner, the veins won't be so obvious, and even so you are probably the only person that cares anyway, no one is going to be like "ew i see a vein in her legs"

3: get a bottle of vitamin E (in liquid form) and rub it into the stretch marks and scars every day, as well as some neosporin brank scar gel/cream.

4: get nair or another dilapatory instead of shaving so often. or get a wax. if you don't want to do that then shave everyday with lots of shave gel!

5: pick up running, or atleast jogging. go up hills, skip, jump, and do squats or wall sits.

If you do all of this i promise you will be perfectly comfortable wearing short shorts!


okay well to make a long story short me and my boyfriend broke up and got back together when we broke up i told my mom and she was happy she hates him. but the thing is we got back together and im scared to tell her she'll like go crazy if i tell her we got back together. :( she said she didnt care if we were just friends he didnt do anything wrong though sooo uhh what do i do how do i tell her? should i even tell her? Shes so negitive about our relationship i dont even feel like telling her. Ehhh help pleaseee (link)
if I were you I would wait a while, pretend you are just friends for the time being, and once you know you are staying together for a while tell your mom, but try to make her understand that he has changed and he respects you yada yada yada....if she thinks you were just friends for a while, then i'm sure she'll think he's an ok guy


im 15 years old, and my friend is too. so today we went to the mall and since we were there for a LONG time we decided to go to target. we went to the Condoms area, just cause (lol) and we took decided to take them in the fitting rooms and look at them. the fitting lady was there too, but she didnt seem to notice. she was really rude too. we were just there, but my friend decided to take one. we left the rest of them underneath a clothing and left.


as we were about to leave Target, one of the people stopped us. as we turned around the fitting room lady was holding the condoms at us and started yelling. she was like "yall stole it. I KNOW YALL DID. its ALL on CAMERA"
we freaked outt
she took us to the police that was in target. and we were like begging not to tell our parents. the Police was like "you know yall could end up in jail if this was more major.why did yall steal this"

but he finally let us go.
everyone in target was staring at us and it was So embarrasing.

Our faces weer on the camera but they never asked for our names or anything.
I just dont want my parents or ANYONE at my school to know about this. it was funny, but still.



Do you think Anything Bad will Happen??
(link)
well, if the police know your names, then something more could happen, but if they let you go without ANYthing than i would say to just let it go, sure it was embarrasing, but you are fine now just DON'T DO IT AGAIN! haha o well, whatever, don't worry cuz they erase the tapes on the cameras after a while, no one is going to find out


So, i decided to ask my boyfriend of 5 months if he likes any one else. Well, at first he kinda wasnt answering me straight and then he went to get a drink at the water fountation and then hes like not really i was like its a yes or no question and he got another drink and i was like hello! answer me hes like i told you yes. When he kept saying not really. and so he told me and stuff. And i said something like why dont you go out with her then and hes like well because shes dating somebody and i was like what?? thats your only reason?? and hes like no and because shes half black and stuff but you would think he'd be like well no because i love you and stuff butt NO.

ugh.

what should i do?

Thanks (link)

I am having problems. I have a 60 gig iPod Video. I want to put videos onto it, but I can't using my old computer. It's an iMac OSX, and apparently it is impossible to update it. Is this true? I have to update iTunes in order to put a movie on my iPod. And please don't give me any answers like "You shouldn't have gotten a mac in the first place, you idiot". I just want some help. Please and thank you! (link)
why would i possibly say you shouldn't have gotten a mac, idiot! they are the best computers in the world, and the point of an ipod is to use it with a mac! damn pc people....
anyways lol, the computer is not an imach osx, osx is just the operating system. there would be no reason that it is impossible to update it, just go to system preferences-updates. then go to the itunes page on apple.com and download the newest version of itunes. after that you should be able to use it seamlessly with your ipod, i have a 60 gig video too, and if you want since you have a mac, google "handbreak download" download that application and then you can rip any dvd and put it on your ipod.
if that didn't make sense reply and tell me what kind of imac you have (g4, g5, w/ intel) and i'll be able to help you better
hope that solved your problems!!!!
