The trend to the negative. Do you ever think it might be people are trying to do way too many things (at once as well), and are a bit stressed as well. Sometimes it is nice to focus on one thing and just enjoy doing that one thing. That's why a session is so nice. The world could be crumbling out there, but you are focused on that time with a special lady.
I really enjoy going up north and getting away from all the distractions. Amazing how it refreshes you as well.
However, there are people out there who truly enjoy being confrontational, rude, putting others down, looking at things from a negative point of view.
Last week my car broke down up north...if I had been in the city, I would have been stressed about being late getting somewhere, the million things I had to do etc. etc.
Instead I went to a Canadian Tire parking lot, bought some parts, and did some parts exchange to get going again. A nice couple came up to me and asked if I needed help. I told them no that I had it under control.... but they took the time to have a long conversation with me. I then also realized that I was enjoying the the car repairs.... no rush, no pressure, it was fun.
HOWEVER.... imagine if I broke down on Adelaide St. or something in rush hour - get honked at, get the finger, bring told to fuck off, etc. etc. Probably a ticket too.
There are always two ways of looking at things. The originator of this thread put it in perspective, someone has it a lot worse than you do.
