This really made my day!

Sometimes it's feels so lonely being sick...I just posted an update post if you are interested. It looks like I don't have lupus after all but a liver disorder. Thank you so much for your prayers as well as the reminder to make another budget post.

You don't know me. I browsed upon your site maybe a year ago and was interested in your budgeting, because I'm in a position of having to budget and it gave me hope that if you can manage to save on a tight budget, I can manage to do so as well. I've been watching your health challenges and had a feeling it might be lupus. I never commented and said so because I'm not a doctor, just had a feeling. What I want you to know is that I have been praying for you, will continue to do so, and have a sense I'm not the only reader doing so. So take heart. People you don't know care about you and are praying for the best for you.

How frustrating!!! I hate dealing with issues when you don't know what you have and suddenly you feel like the only person in the world. I only had to deal with strange health ailments when I was pregnant - I can only imagine how it feels when it's your whole life. Hope you get answers soon.

You are right I probably should have.

You know what? I think you could've just told them what you had in mind.

I think you regularly do that thing, where you badly want to say something but can't because you think too much about others feelings. Say out loud what you want to say from time to time. You'll feel better.

Take Care

Thanks for posting this. I think it's incredibly important to differentiate between what we personally deem to be right and wrong and what a system of governance has the right to impose on us. Exactly because our personal views differ so widely, the greater system of rights and laws has to remain objective, fair and equal.

I believe in all of the things you listed above, but I couldn't have voted for same-sex marriage.Anyway, Take Care

Very well said. I believe that gay marriage is just as morally OK as straight marriage (so we disagree), but the beauty in your attitude is that you're cool with that. Live and let live. If only more people had the same attitude. I admire your honesty. Also, so great that you voted for it.

Re: Three Things I’ve Learned From Being Sick

Thanks for the well wishes.

1. The point of "Not a lot of people really care" was not in regards to people I am not close to. I know people who aren't particularly close to me don't necessarily care about how my life is going. I don't expect them to. I do, however, expect the members of my immediate family to care. I don't understand why this isn't can't be a quite shocking for a "genius".
2.My view on being a "genius" http://intelligenceisacurse...

3. I am not a Scorpio

Take care.

I hope u get well soon. At first when I found out this blog, I was very excited. I thought "well, here's a genius girl from whom I can get inspiration to be a genius myself" but sorry to say ur blogposts don't attract me anymore. You seem like a common girl, Girls I see in my surroundings. It's a common known fact "Not a lot of people really care" u should have known that in ur childhood if u were that genius. Lastly, Don't put too much pressure on yourself trying to be a genius, try to enjoy life first. Take Care. Goodbye

P.S. Xcuse me for asking this, what astrological sign are you? Scorpio?

I'm sorry that your brother and a lot of people don't take your illness as seriously as they should. That's really unfortunate and hurtful. I am glad that things are going a bit better for you overall and you aren't in as much pain, though.

Good luck finding your diagnosis. I hope you get your answers fast. Sounds like you've had a really tough time of it. There's nothing worse than not knowing what is happening to you, while you're in physical discomfort.

Just came across the blog. I really liked it (very cool design!). I have struggled in some ways with the same problem. What I have learnt so far is that life eventually balances itself and, while being intelligent can be a tremendous asset, it will never be the thing that gets you through everything. That at the same times humbles you and makes you less of a stand-out, so to speak.

Sometimes it does get lonely. My spiritual advisor once said to me "You will enjoy many things with a tremendous intensity, and you will suffer many times with that same intensity because you won't find many people you can share that with". But as time goes by, you realize that to connect with people you reach from your heart into the other's and everybody is an equal there.

Re: Overcoming Shyness

Overcoming feelings of shyness would be hard for some and most people who are suffering from it would slip to depression. This is why most would just prefer to say inside their house and not meet other people for fear of being judged. There are many therapies that can help a person through their shyness.

Your friends sounds like she has some real serious issues. I'm sorry that your friendship had to end over something so trivial.

Shirley — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:08:47 -0000

I feel your pain. I got unfriended by my granddaughter -- who actually lives with me rent and utilities and food costs free, because she didn't like a comment I made to something she'd posted. So I know how you feel about being bothered about being unfriended by a friend. Magnify that 1,000 times when it's a family member unfriending you.

It sounds like you really have your head on straight. I think you will be fine especially if you stay rational like this and stay on top of things. <3

Re: Drinking…

Kez @ Awesomely Unprepared — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 06:28:57 -0000

I think so many people try to acquire a taste for alcohol - like it's something they have to do. I like that you aren't going to waste your money or time on something you don't have to partake in if it's not for you! Good for you :)

You say you despise Harry Potter, but for young adults it sends a wonderful message. It teaches inner strength, the ability to stand up to adversity, the will to continue through emotionally difficult times. What else can young adults read? Oh, yea, Twilight. The entire message from that series is how important a boyfriend is.

Because, honestly, they totally aren't. People do not deserve companions until they like hanging out by themselves. Being with someone because you fear being alone is like being a character from Twilight.
