I'd pay a visit to myself when I was 14.
Those were dark days of adjusting, and some shaky academic decisions.
Basically I'd self-comfort and reassure myself that things DO get better and that problems will work
themselves out, but I'd advise being more proactive in solving/shaping my issues rather than turning
away from them and risking the fact that they may or may solve themselves.
That way, the confidence in myself would come sooner than it did.

I don't really watch much TV, but these [^] are just the kind of whimsy I need in my life.
I'm feeling brave.
I don't think asking about the "why" is discussing real counts of incest. Nor do I think the inquisitors
are seeking such material. A question is a question. Is it wrong to ask questions, regardless of how
obvious it might seem to others?
And speaking of questions...
Who can tell whether or not stories are fictitious? Just like anyone here can claim things about themselves;
just like anyone can post pictures and claim that's really them; just like someone can claim things about
their experiences, embellishing or misleading--couldn't the same can be done with the origins of stories?
Please note that I'm not trying to attack anyone or anything. I'm just curious.
Make up is beautiful, but not in the sense of what it does to a woman's face (or body),
but what it does to her confidence and her attitude when she goes out to face the day.
Unless you're in a specific religion, then there's really no way to hide your face, and why would you?
So if a woman wants to hide her imperfection(s) that really stunt her self-esteem, make up allows her.
Who am I to say she shouldn't? If it's done well, all's well.
Fake tans? Whatever. If she doesn't turn orange, it's fine, but I personally don't entertain the idea that
tans are sexy, or youthful, or make you look healthy. If nothing else, I'd love it if she'd love her natural
complexion and stop obsessing over how "pale" she is.
When you wear sunglasses more than you wear your prescriptions; when you see heat snakes on asphalt in the distance;
when the scent of gasoline hangs lower, thicker, stronger in heavily-trafficked streets; when you long for just one minute of
winter air; when you see the sunlight lift weight off peoples' shoulders; when 8PM is a hot golden haze; when you hear the
silvery laughter of children (possibly in your backyard); when rainfall feels most quenching; when you find yourself smiling
to yourself more often; when you see your friends more; when you think the day couldn't get any more beautiful and it
does; when nothing matters more than living in the moment...
The list goes on.
Does "wobbly", "zigzag" or "a tad jaunty" count?
I use my own discretion based on what I observe/glean/learn of people.
I've never been quizzed about who I am on these forums, nor have I written much, so I speak of
past experiences, elsewhere:
1_ Who I am and what I've done are not exactly written in my works. I splice; maybe an unrealised
fantasy here, mixed with something I've seen/read, but rewritten to suit my fancies. Sometimes I write
based on what will capture a certain audience, and in those cases, even less of "me" is interlaced.
2_ I do share "myself," but it's not much, or nothing significant. Sometimes it's just simple negligence, most
times it's intentional. If it's a fan, I would share even less than if it was someone who was purely interested
in my writing. But if were the case, then I doubt they'd ask for more of "me."
In any case, I'm flattered and pleasantly surprised when I pique someone's interest.
3_ I'm not sure what "revelations" entail, but I'm going to assume it's something that I'd keep close
to vest. Expanding on that assumption, I don't offer what I'm not asked, and if I'm asked about these
things, I shy away from them.
4_ I respond politely and creatively when I'm asked about myself.
Nosy yet secretive? Give and take, Lass. Give and take. : )
Any kind that tastes good.
I can't say I'm big on alcohol in general, and I'm even less experienced
with wines. So, I don't have a preference, but I do know that it doesn't
have to be expensive to be delicious.

I would have stopped spending as much time with her, especially since I would have KNOWN
she was purposely after you, with only ill-willed intentions. Maybe I would just be a means for
her to get back at you; an instrument/trophy and nothing more. Shame he didn't consider this.
She sounds like a venus fly-trap, and you're better off without him.
