My brother lives in NY and had mentioned a maid cafe there. I'm sure it's not the same kind of experience that you would get in Japan, but interesting. He said that it was comical if anything and they had pretty decent food and drink. He said he wanted me to visit it whenever I came to see him, but I actually think it might be closed now? If anything, I feel like it would be interesting to check out ^-^ I'm not opposed to it, though I do feel like it would be a bit out of my comfort zone

I hope you find what you're looking for! Never stop working for your goals~ it sounds strange, but I was in a bit of a funk similar. I guess you can say there's days im still a bit off. I also joined this forum hoping it would help me a bit... and you know, it really did. I met some people here that really have impacted my life in a positive way. It's strange how someone you've never even met can relate to you so deeply. But also, never give up on the friends around you! They can be your rock and very important in your life. I know it can be hard to motivate yourself, but never give up. There's always a brighter future around the corner, but only if you want it.

I have a bit of anxiety about something like this, often. Even though there are people around me, I always tend to feel a bit lonely and the thought of being more lonely than that, is terrifying. I'm not sure what it is, all I know is that it kind of creeps me out I'll see something and I'm like "...didn't I dream this?"

I can feel and relate to this post, lol. That sucks, dude. I hope it gets easier on you! I've had a 'dream continuation' as well! It's super weird.. Like a story picking up where it left off. It's kind of cool though, if it's a pleasant dream. I thought for the longest time that it was weird to remember any of my dreams, because so many people I talked to said they really don't remember their dreams, or forget after they've been awake longer than a few minutes. Sometimes I feel like I also get deja vu moments, because something will happen in real life that I could have swore happened in a dream... But that could also be me just forgetting what the dream actually was. Not sure.

Lol, thank you. That's what I do. I find your concept on it rather interesting as well. Never looked at it that way before. We have talked a little about it already, but the good thing about your situation is, you're so young. People do change. We are living proof of that every day. I believe once you have love for someone, no, it doesn't necessarily ever go away... But there IS going to be someone else out there who can and will love you. Got to look at the whole picture. 7 billion people on the planet, the chances of you finding your "true love" at this age is extremely rare. You will meet someone who appreciates your feelings and cares about you. Time changes a lot of things.

That's actually really awesome. I never knew she was that popular there. All I knew is that it seemed to me that she stopped being popular here in the US a while ago. I remember when her second english album came out here, I heard "Come Back to Me" like, once on the radio and that was it.. I was super disappointed. I love Traveling! That was my jam the other day lol

I can understand your frustrations with finding a job.. I have always worked since I was old enough, but have recently been out of work and finding a job CAN be tough! And very stressful.. Have you tried calling places back? A lot of times, or so I've noticed, places will wait for you to call back. I'm not sure if it's to see the level of determination you have or if they're just lazy about hiring lol But I've heard and even had experience where following up, staying on their butt and calling every other day has resulted in finding work. It's importrant to always contribute to a house hold, but hang in there! You can only live day by day. Just keep trying to find work (: As for the other situation, the best advice I can give is this: I'm not sure how old you are, but your best result would probably to find a job asap and get your own place. You shouldn't always have to live in a situation where you can't be yourself.. Or where you don't feel safe. For other reasons, I moved out right when I turned 18. And I struggled. But I had the freedom to be who I wanted to be and the leisure of feeling safe and happier. Not everyone is always going to be on your side. If there is one thing I have learned, it's that. Sometimes we have to make our own and live our own life. But the people that actually matter, will always be on your side. Friends, family... No matter what, do you! Don't ever change or let someone control what your future is. Start controlling your own future and you will be much happier! Also, don't EVER apologize for who you are! Don't EVER wish to change! There's nothing wrong with being Gay. It's still hard for me to believe that on 2016, people still can't get over it... But just because you have some haters, doesn't mean you should change. (;

Yeah, she did fade out. I wouldn't even really say she was extremely popular then. Not here, anyway...I just always remember loving her voice and being able to relate very heavily with some of her music. I find her voice to be kinda soothing. ^^ Deep River was amazing. ^^ Probably one of the best, imo. I heard she was suppose to maybe be coming out with something this year? I think it was in the spring, but I haven't heard it yet. *__*

Deep lyrics :3 And fun and bouncy. Pushing forward kinda song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0p4V5DLxKU

Some people have a hard time remembering dreams, and I've even heard that some people hardly have dreams at all... Not sure how all of that works, but has anyone here ever had any reoccurring nightmares? Whether they're silly or scary or even strange? I don't sleep very well at night, regularly.. But sometimes I'm able to force myself to sleep. It seems like I have this reoccurring nightmare that, isn't really terrifying as it is uncomfortable. The dream starts where I am just floating in the air, on my back. I have my eyes closed and I'm humming. Everything is black. And for a moment I feel extremely peaceful. But then my heart starts to race, and then I'm sweating and can't breathe. And as I open my eyes, in the dreams, I'm on fire. But I'm not screaming.. however, it feels so real that I wake up in my sleep, rolling around and kicking the covers off me. Extremely hot. Feeling like I'm still on fire. I've had this dream several times. Not back to back, but seperately. I didn't think it was possible to have dreams be so similar to other dreams, and to have them numberous times. Does anyone else ever have a reoccurring nightmare? Or even just nightmares in general? If so, what do you think they mean? I feel like I'm left sitting here wondering why I would keep having a dream like that and why it makes me this uncomfortable. Every time I have it, I can't go back to sleep because I feel very anxious. It's also not like it's really all that hot in my house either...cause I thought that, at first. X.x

See, but I feel like that's all she's remembered for lol. Kingdom Hearts. She has so many good songs out there! I've been digging this oldie lately: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKw3FQz-mhk

Yeah, I remember being like 14 or something.. And seriously falling in love with her ^^ She has so many great songs.. I feel like people have forgotten about her.

Thank you :3

This should be like, something to live by. For everyone~ I would say for the most part I go with guts, but there are certain circumstances in my life where I tend to over think things and try to go with "logic." I guess it depends on who it is, what it is, ect. I feel like I can be a very emotional person, so sometimes I do just tend to fly off the handle and go with feelings rather than logic. Maybe that's what makes me so awkward.

Not going to get too into detail, but I do feel like I suffer from general anxiety and have for quite a long time. As a child, I had severe social anxiety. I spoke, almost in a whisper, to anyone except close family... Had an extremely difficult time making friends. I could not stand up in front of my class to talk, without breaking out in a rash, or almost passing out. In college, I dropped out of my required speech class after the first day because I had to stand up and talk about myself. I couldnt stop thinking about having to get up in front of everyone. As an adult, I feel like my social anxiety is manageable, however, I still have an easier time with phone conversations, text, email versus actually confronting people face to face. It was actually my first job that kind of forced me to relate with people, talk to people, ect. So I guess it was kind of a therapy? I dunno. I still get anxiety over little things, sometimes snowballing them into larger things. But I feel overall, more in control of them than I use to. Anyway, I feel like these types of things get pushed aside by people as not being real issues... But I feel like they are. I hope everyone is doing better and if anyone ever needs to talk, I'll listen.

I, as politely as I can, explain to them that I could never marry them because they're not who I thought they were. That or go on a rampage, as I don't enjoy being lied to and that seems like a lot of wasted time and effort. ______________ You have been reading a book, a really good book: you can't put it down! The book is at it's climax, and right as you're about to discover a very important piece of information, a friend walks over, takes the book and burns it. How do you react?

This game seems kinda interesting, so I feel like I should revive it~ Answer: 3 My 2 lies and a truth: 1- As a child, I had an abnormal fear of saliva. 2- When I was a teenager, I was terrified of cats. 3- As an adult, I am still afraid of the dark.

That is a mighty awesome username you have there :3

Not sure if there's a thread on this topic already, or if it fits into a more broad subject... But I've been recently re-living some deep emotional connections to Utada's music. Was wondering if anyone else enjoyed her still~ I will say I'm not a huge fan of her English albums...

I feel very strange.. I am not sure if it's bad or good.

very pretty lyrics.
