Hey GreyBlazer! Yes it felt beautiful and amazing. I've always dreamed of living in peace and once I got a taste of it I felt uncomfortable and scared. I guess it was too new for me, but at least it...
Yesterday evening I noticed I was feeling happy and I did not have any anxiety. I felt so relieved, but then I started to ask myself why I wasn't nervous. I started feeling scared because I wasn't...

I'm not sure how I became afraid of them either? Funny how things work in our minds. I share your pain with people popping things around you. They think it's funny, but it can cause us to have a...

Is the shakiness from drinking soda or from quitting soda?...
