It seems like once I get friendly with people they start pouring their life story to me beginning to end. Mom said something similar a few months ago about herself and how people just feel like spilling their guts to a stranger really, someone they just met 5 minutes ago. It's those type of situations that are hard to get away from without being rude, so when it happens I just sit and listen and nod and usually I give them a hug at the end but boy does that drain me.</p> <p>What do I believe? As far as I know it doesn't have a name, but it mostly resembles the Buddhists more closely than anything. I believe in energy. Read Dan Brown's new book. I've never seen it explained so well, and never knew there were more people that thought on the same lines.</p> <p>I do know the day I stopped believing in God however. I practically lived at Children's hospital for the two years my little cousin had liver cancer (Silas big brother) and we used to sleep in the same bed when I had to take my naps. One day he woke up and told me he loved me but he had to go. No adults were around and I knew he couldn't get out of bed by himself and I didn't understand what he was talking about, so I asked as he hugged me and closed his eyes. That was that. So when the adults came in the room I kept telling them I didn't do anything but he said he had to go somewhere, hoping they wouldn't blame me, hoping I wasn't responsible.</p> You know what I’m more afraid of?

What do I believe? As far as I know it doesn’t have a name, but it mostly resembles the Buddhists more closely than anything. I believe in energy. Read Dan Brown’s new book. I’ve never seen it explained so well, and never knew there were more people that thought on the same lines.

I don't think it's “all around” you. What's around you is people who love you and who have lost, in the same way you have lost.

I don't know how to deal about death and it's all around me still. I have no idea how to even approach it.</p> I'm wondering if it's the death surrounding my family that has broke me for that decade.
