If I ever go to Georgia again, I will have to try that. I am about to go to olive garden for the soup, salad and breadsticks.

I forgot to tell you Dejona cause you had sent me a message about my brother, which by the way thank you so much for caring, he got his recent test results back, his mass is benign, its been there since birth, so we are very happy! He is taking meds for migraines though. Hope the food was good and wine!!!

Hello everyone

You know I put this thread up as a part of my quest to *self realization*, I started this quest some months back. Love is something that eludes me. I've been writing about it, I still believe you should write what you feel, and express yourself freely. Anyway, I've been having issues with jealousy, ominous nasty little beast that it is...consumer of ones energy. It will drain you, take you over if you allow it...it is like a very bad street drug...in a sense that the longer you partake in this emotion the deeper it takes its toll on you...destroying all that was once good in you, it is the darker side of love...it creeps in...takes hold. Ruins relationships of all kinds. There are those who haven't spoken to a loved one in years because of jealousy and or "insecurity". I care for jealousy about as much as I do death and taxes. There is no prick bigger or more of a pain in your side than jealousy. Anyway it an emotion that I've been battling lately. However I WILL NOT allow it to smite me, I will tame the green beast that lives within me now. There are lessons to be learned here I'm sure. But anyway, it has made its way into my quest for self realization. So I thought I would write about it, put it all out there, because I'm one for putting it all out there.

And if you have any thoughts or advice or constructive criticism please let me know, I'm here to learn as well. This is afterall a part of understanding "self realization" and human nature.

I have no words of wisdom for you, as I am trying to tame the green beast as well. I think you are strong to not let it control you. Too many let it, then they become consumed with greed and never happy. I guess I am on the same page as you. I am willing to learn as well. So throw your knowledge and wisdom at us people! I will not know everything until I am long past my expiration date....

I've never really been one for jealousy, so I don't know what advice to give you.

But, good luck!

Lucky that you have never dealt with it. Trying to keep up with the Jones' is not fun!

yes, shame to say but very true. i've dealt with this 'green beast' myself.
and yeah its a 'prick' for sure lol, but at least you can admit it and that is the first step toward getting through and past it. to me your outlook is good, you can see it for what it is, and not trying to make excuses for it.
tame that beast star!!!

Okay - well, it looks like I'm on the outs again with the boy. I feel like we're in a revolving door or something, jeeze. But, he says he's not willing to try again, until he knows he still loves me, for sure. So, I give up. I can't make someone love me, and I don't know if I'm willing to be a door-mat and wait.
