Hello dear friends, December is finally here, we can smell Christmas coming!!!
So I was lost a couple of days...remember I told you I was waiting for people from my family to for the weekend and "I will have a good time by the sea" etc? HA!
God laughed at me and decided it's best for me to see them for only 1 hour and then return home and realize that awful feeling I had since Friday night, was a high fever and then an extra bonus prize for me, diarrhea, that lasted for 2 days, and managed to stop it with strong pills :(
Finally today I'm feeling much better, and I can be around to see you all, read you all and noise around! :)
First of all what happened here? the tips returned? I saw from my mobile some tips that were coming "suggested by..." but I couldn't do more... Can someone explain me pls? Maybe I could send you also back tips? Or is it by the system as it used to?
Another question for you all is if you have an idea what's going on with sites you play and earn specific tokens - not crypto. My hubby found this site "focus games" and I'm not sure if you really can earn something - unless there are sites like that, better of course with a token you can easily exchange to a useful crypto. This one (focus games) has it's own FGN token and they say you can exchange it to TRON. Another thing is that in TRON wallet, you can see several crypto, but in "TRON-20" and the addresses start with "T". I guess that means the crypto you have stay in "TRON-20 chain" and it's different than the one we use, or am I translating it wrong? Some help pls?
P.S. My relatives stayed for the weekend and they were either by themselves or/and my hubby who went to see them :( what a bad/sad timing we had!!!
Good morning everybody!
How are you today? What are your plans for the weekend?
I woke up early, done some work need to be done, and now I'm waiting for my family to come from Athens for the weekend! That means (with this nice weather) that I'll be out most of the day! :)
So, that means not much to do here today, just say a "hi" to all of you and wish you a wonderful weekend! I'm waiting to learn your news about spending it!
The picture is from yesterday afternoon when I was out for a walk by the sea :)
Enjoy your day!
After a whole day of raining, finally blue sky was seen again, and the birds started signing with their unique, precious way😊
I'm wishing you all good night, sleep well, get some rest and be ready for a perfect weekend that's coming!!!
Hello friends!
Friday today, a beautiful rainy day, that makes you want to sit on the couch and cocooning until Monday! :) still, here we are, lots of things need to be done and it's time for me to noise around drinking my Greek coffee :)
What are your plans for today and the weekend? I might have some visitors in the weekend, and I can't wait - I love being surrounded with people I love and have time with them! If the weather is good, I probably will stay most of the day near the sea! :)
You?
Busy day today, wasn't able to be around!
Still I found time to cook and make also a cheesecake - with yogurt and honey and no butter, very light and delicious (I hope)!
Generally I'm trying not to make sweets at home, still sometimes I have the mood and the ingredients, or somedays I improvise and make my own "something" :) lol You can eat it later most of the times, don't worry! :)
So, how was your day so far? How is the weather in your area?
Have a nice afternoon!
Good morning everybody!
Without any rain, this wonderful view with a 🌈 rainbow is now in front of me! From the other side of the mountain sun ☀ is rising up!
Have a great day you all! 😊
Time to say goodnight to all,
Today's meal&dinner is fried rice with peas, onion, carrots, red pepper, eggs and chicken! I had the inspiration from a friend here @Fufilur who cooked a similar plate, she posted it and I got "jealous". If it's not burger today as I wanted, at least it can be a healthier, home made delicious food!
Hello people! How are you today?
Finally I feel little cold, we have clouds about to rain, enough air to not be able to go to your balcony and cold :) Well, not as it should for November time, still cold :)
Today I feel little disappointed. And kind of sad. And worry. A lot!
Why?
I had in my plans this afternoon to go out with my hubby to different stores, for Christmas decoration shopping, buy some presents and some other stuff. Then we would go for a nice burger and back home.
Well, that's when the universe started to laugh at me...
Last night we had a call from a friend, and she told us about not 1, not 2, not 3 but... 12 people positive to Coronavirus in the grocery shop we usually go. TWELVE people when the stuff there is about 20, is a HUGE number! Have in mind they always have masks in their faces... I already knew that the area I live in, is about to become red from the many cases we have, still I wasn't afraid that much.
So the result was think again and say no, it's better to stay home and safe, instead of going out to places fully crowded and become sick.
I don't want to shop from Internet, I'd love to go there and see them from close, have some fun, enjoy the Christmas spirit, but still health is above all.
Anyway, as day passes and see the weather "heavier", I pretend I don't care, I pretend that I'm cold and I pretend it's better to stay inside, still I want to go out and scream "WHEN will this be over?" :(
*The picture is taken from yesterday afternoon, it has no filters and it's 2 minutes before sun light disappeared!
So, whoever want to find out about my vegetable soup and get the recipe, see in read.cash:

I'm here for more questions! :) Have a great afternoon!
Cold today - vegetable soup recipe!
Hello everyone,
Winter is almost here, some cold has come already (at least here in Greece, because I know in other countries you already have enough cold) and it's the best time to start eating healthy and full of vitamins plates, such as soups!
Personally I enjoy all kind of soups, but one of my favorites is the one with vegetables only. I usually put onion, carrot, potatoe, celery and cabbage. These are the basic ingredients for me to start a vegetable soup, and then I add whatever I like. Let's see today's ingredients I used:
4-5 tablespoons olive oil
chopped leek (1 medium)
chopped fresh onion (2 medium)
chopped carrots (3 to 4 carrots)
chopped celery (2 pieces)
chopped pumpkin (3 big pieces)
chopped beetroot (3 medium pieces)
chopped red pepper (1 piece)
chopped mushrooms (3-4 big ones)
chopped sweet potato (1 medium)
chopped cabbage (about 1 small plate)
chopped broccoli (4-5 flowers)
baby spinach (200gr)
chopped tomatoes (2 medium)
some orzo (4-5 spoons)
ground black pepper
sea salt
fresh lemon juice, optional (2 pieces)
Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the fresh onions, carrots, celery, and leek. Stir until the vegetables have softened about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, red pepper, sweet potato, stir them again for 2 – 3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin, beetroot, tomatoes, and baby spinach, stir them all together for 2 – 3 minutes.
Add about 3 cups of water, salt, and pepper, and leave them cook for about 20 minutes.
***I like my soup have the feeling of “velvet”. If you don’t like the idea, you can make the soup, without removing the vegetables, still you must cut smaller pieces of them.***
Remove the pot from the heat and remove all vegetables, mash them in another vessel, and when you’re done, add them into the leftover soup in the pot.
Optional add lemon juice, the orzo, stir and let it cook for about 10 minutes in low heat. Taste and season with more salt, or/and pepper. Serve.
The taste is delicious, I wish if you make it enjoy it! Bon Appetit or else, “Kali Orexi” in Greek 😊
Hello noisers!
Today I was busy and couldn't find time to chat with you! Now I'm gonna eat my healthy, full of vitamins veggie soup I made, then I'm gonna post the recipe an read you all!
I hope each and everyone of you is fine! Stay tuned!!! 😎😊🥣
Do you believe in the power we have in our hands as persons? How do you think we use it? If you want, I've uploaded an article in read.cash about that matter:
https://read.cash/@Pouki/people-have-the-power-5fe01268 #RandomThoughts
People have the power
I was listening to this song by Patti Smith (People Have The Power) and I felt the urge to write something about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPR-HyGj2d0
For real, people have the power, the question is where we use it?
Every coin has two sides, the meaning of this sentence has two ways of meaning, depending on the person. We have the power to change ourselves first, into something better – that’s one of the meaning of lives. Still, we tend to see people who this “power” they spend it only for making themselves in a worst place. Please, don’t tell me that it’s only weakness in people who do anything to damage their own existence? It needs short of power too!
People have the power be polite, to be good, to spare kindness…Some of them do, many of them do exactly the opposite. They use the power only for themselves, selfish sometimes, without caring for other people, and especially when we talk about people who have money and extra power, they don’t care even for the environment, the poverty, the people who lose their lives because of the bad situation at work, they believe strongly in wars that help them gain extra power etc.
As for anything else in life, it’s only in our hands how we will act. It’s a state of mind, it’s a way of living, it’s “the material” of the person, the way it was raised and many other criteria. The question is, can people change if they tend to use their ability only to harm people, destroy and be almost evil? Can people change if they are good persons, they tend to use their kindness to help, give and be an example for all of us? And who are we who can choose who is the good or bad among us, if we know only a part of someone’s life. Maybe we, people who have the power, also use it to gossip around, sow discord and then feel wonderful because the others – false – think we are good persons?
Where should we use or power? For the better we? A better world? Or maybe if we just fix ourselves for the better, everything “magically” will start changing? What do you propose? What do you think about my thoughts, do you agree, have more to say or even argue with them?
Time to eat! Rigatoni with spinach, small tomatoes and parmesan cheese! Yummy and full of vitamins! For dinner, I will add cream cheese in it and no parmesan!
Come and join me! 😊 🤤🍽️
I think you all will like this picture! There's hope when I read such things happening on this planet <3
Good morning noiser friends and how are you today? :)
I'm already here, after having my breakfast, now drinking my coffee and said "time to noise around". I saw something and I really didn't understand why/how it happened. I posted an article on read.cash and I tried to share it here as well. So, I went to a read.cash chamber or channel (I don't remember what it was), and posted there, still today I saw a massage that my post was REJECTED by the admin of this chamber/channel :( I can't understand what's the reason for doing such thing, I mean, I only posted the link from read.cash and my article, something that everybody does and had done before me, as I saw in previous posts. Does something like that ever happened to you? In the same and/or other chambers/channels I mean, and if yes, how you felt?
Back to our main theme now, as I see BCH is down again, let's hope this will change again!
Time to read you all, bye for now from here! Have a wonderful day and week!!!
P.S. I woke up with these colors outside and I wanted to share this beauty with all of you :)
Hello dear friends!
I thought I stopped by to say a hi, share with you a spectacular image that saw today in FB and tell you some things about it! The place there is called "Meteora", and it's a place full of high rocks where monasteries and churches were built, and only priests and nuns can stay there.
As wikipedia says:
"The Meteora - Greek: Μετέωρα, pronounced [meˈteora]) is a rock formation in central Greece hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, second in importance only to Mount Athos. The six (of an original twenty four) monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. It is located near the town of Kalabaka at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains.
Meteora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List under criteria I, II, IV, V, and VII.
The name means "lofty", "elevated", and is etymologically related to meteor.".
I've been there many times, and every time It happens to drive through (or out of) Kalabaka city, I'm always looking at them like the first time! Once you find yourself to the top of the rocks, the view will make you never want to go down again!
So, time to go now... I've also done my Covid test which is negative, I do have taste now (who knows what was wrong) and it's time for me to relax on my couch watching a movie!
Good night everyone and if you have in plans visiting Greece, have in mind this place to visit it!
P.S. The picture is not mine, I found it on FB :) #NoiseCash
Goooooood morning everybody and how are you this morning?
For me it's a good day so far, I woke up early as usual, I enjoy the beautiful day outside, drinking my coffee and noising around, my husband is better and everything's great - I guess...the only negative part is that...I think I lost some of my taste, I'm waiting to see how the day goes and maybe I'll have to make a Covid test :(
Still, I feel positive that nothing's wrong and continue! I wanted to go out for some coffee with friends, but now after yesterday's issue with husband and today how I feel, I'm afraid...What if I do have something? I don't want to see other people unless I'm 100% sure that everything is perfect with our health in family!
So, today home again, when I'll stop noising I'll do some work that's left behind and then continue a project I have - watch more series hehehe :D
Got to go now, see you all soon, take care and have an awesome day! The image collage is done by me, some years ago when I was heading to the city I live now from Athens, and I watched the sun... :)
So, today I wanted to make again spinach pie. You remember 1-2 weeks ago I gave you the recipe!? It's also delicious, come and join us, as long as it exists! 😋lol
Today I'm sending you also pictures during the... "making of" it😊
The sad new, is that my husband today started feeling the same way I was feeling 😔 So now, I look after him, waiting for his quick recover! 😞❤️
Have a great night all of you noisy people, I'm about to watch my series now, I'm a "party animal" 🤣😎
Hello everyone,
My new article in read.cash is about yesterday's full moon and eclipse. You can find it here:
https://read.cash/@Pouki/full-moon-and-eclipse-6be32540 #Readcash
Good morning noisers and how are you today? :)
The day started too early for me, I woke up at 5:30 in the morning, full of energy! This happens to me when I recover from a flu or something like this, I guess my body rested that much those 2 days I wasn't feeling well, so it can't stand much sleep and needs to recover all the loss energy :) lol
Today here the weather is like summer, shining sky, no clouds in the sky, still kind of chill in the atmosphere. What about you? How's your weather? How did you wake up today? I'm drinking now my coffee and noising around!
The picture with the moon is taken this morning at about 6:00 and the other one, last night about 23:00. You can see that it seems like when it's dawn, enough light from the moonlight!
If you want to see more about the full moon, I just posted something in read.cash:
https://read.cash/@Pouki/full-moon-and-eclipse-6be32540
Have a great day, and a wonderful time whatever you'll do! :) #NoiseCash
Full moon and eclipse
Do you enjoy when you see the full moon in the sky? Do you feel weird when it’s happening? Do you want to go near the sea and watch it on its surface glittering?
First, what exactly is the fool moon? According to Wikipedia:
“*The full moon is the lunar phase when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon (more exactly, when the ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180°). This means that the lunar hemisphere facing Earth – the near side – is completely sunlit and appears as a circular disk. The full moon occurs roughly once a month.*
*The time interval between a full moon and the next repetition of the same phase, a synodic month, averages about 29.53 days. Therefore, in those lunar calendars in which each month begins on the day of the new moon, the full moon falls on either the 14th or 15th day of the lunar month. Because a calendar month consists of a whole number of days, a month in a lunar calendar may be either 29 or 30 days long*.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon
So, every month we are grateful to watch the full moon and its beauty, but sometimes we also have eclipses – either for moon or sun.
Let’s also see what it means according to Wikipedia:
“*An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object or spacecraft is temporarily obscured, by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. This alignment of three celestial objects is known as a syzygy. Apart from syzygy, the term eclipse is also used when a spacecraft reaches a position where it can observe two celestial bodies so aligned. An eclipse is the result of either an occultation (completely hidden) or a transit (partially hidden).”*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse
When both fool moon and eclipse happens, what we see is extraordinary, at least whoever can watch it, because usually you can’t see it from every place on earth.
Many songs have been written for the moon and many others for the full moon. Some of them have a romantic sound, some others are dancing. As for eclipse, there are some songs they also use it as a phrase, but it’s not the same as moon’s beauty, which most of the times takes us to a night scenery with a couple underneath the stars and the full moon, holding hand, kissing, making wedding proposal and so on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6UCLtYLLF0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOdO-BqDOe4
Do you feel romantic when you watch the full moon at night, or you don’t care? Maybe you just enjoy the beauty and nothing more? Perhaps you feel kind of sad because you miss your other half and memories are filling your head? Do you wish you’d be able to see the moon from close? Travel there? Go to the space someday?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U079_8l8SNM
Personally, I think full moon is one of the most wonderful views on earth. I love to watch it even when I’m at home, I prefer the sea of course, but I don’t mind if I’m not there. If there is eclipse, I love the view twice, so rare, so different!
The beauty of the earth, sky, the space, the universe is so unique, and I guess most of us enjoy watching it, not just passing by the images he sees. Either with images he can watch with his own eyes, or even with documentaries from NASA, National Geographic, and others, where we can enjoy things, we would never be able to see ever!
Until the next full moon, enjoy yesterday’s pictures, moments, and songs!

Dear friends, I went to the balcony and saw this beauty of the full moon!
I wanted to share it with all of you, wishing you a good night! 😊 🌃🌚
Good morning dear noisers and how are you today? :)
After 2 days with a stomach problem, finally I'm feeling better! When I don't feel well, I count seconds and hours until I return to my normality - I can't stand myself feeling weird and can't be able to do my everyday program!
Anyway enough about me, how are you today? How is the weather in your area? Finally here we have a rainy day and it's wonderful (attached picture). How do you feel about BCH's falling down again? Do you think there's a hope to stay in a good price, or do you see it go more down?
So, time to go and enjoy my morning coffee by reading you all! :)
Have a wonderful day, stay healthy and don't forget to smile! :) #NoiseCash
Hello noiser friends. How's everybody?
I had some stomach issues today, that's why I wasn't around - let's hope tomorrow it will be a better day!
Boiled chicken and soup with brocolli, sweet potato, carrots and couscous was today's food! Yummy but not that yummy when you're not feeling well...
Good night to each one of you, I hope we'll talk tomorrow! :) #NoiseCash
Well, had some time and made a post in read.cash:
https://read.cash/@Pouki/granny-left-memories-stayed-forever-4cf6758a
It's been 19 years as this day my granny died, and I guess I felt the urge to write something for the eldest. I think everybody feel the loss of their loving ones. <3
#love #grandparents #granny #readcash #NoiseCash
Granny left - memories stayed forever
I woke up this morning, feeling a little melancholy. Didn’t know the reason, nothing bad or sad happened last night, nor this morning, so I thought I had a bad dream I didn’t remember. About an hour ago, a memory came to my mind and realize the reason: before 19 years this day, my granny died. Suddenly, all the memories from the moment I heard the bad news filled me and I realized that my mind knew and that was the reason for my mood.
The only certain thing when we are coming to this world, is that one day all of us will die. When it comes to lose one of your loving persons though, you understand how much it hurts, you feel the loss from your everyday life and can comprehend oldest people who afraid to die and/or have lost their other half.
Grandparents are a second version of our parents – better or worse, it depends on the person, the point is that they exist in our lives as people who have almost the same love with our parents from us, and sometimes more because “no” is almost never an answer to us from their mouths, especially when we are very young. Grandparents are there to fight for us or to defend us from our parents when we’ve done something wrong, they are there to play with us, to read us books, to cook with them, to walk with them, go to the park with them and so many other things. Grandmother’s food is of course the best from the whole universe and only if she’s not around, mom’s is the best one!
When we grow up and remember all the times we spent with them, when we realize how much they’ve done for us, especially when they’re not around to say a “thank you”, even without words, then we understand the beauty of their souls, their wants that they buried when we were around them, from what are we going to eat, till “we won’t sleep at noon, you can play loud” or “although I can’t walk because my back/leg/both hurt, I’ll take my grandchild for a walk in the park” and so many other examples.
The stories we heard from them about our parents, is something unique! We tend to think my parents only as grownups, we can’t understand and realize that they used to be babies, children, teenagers and then older! We laugh at them in the stories we listen to, we see their pictures as younger and our grandparents’ pictures as in the age of our parents and we laugh again, because we find it amusing! These moments a better bond starts between us, they tend to feel younger, and we tend to see them differently from the old figures we know…
One of the things I miss most ever since I grew up, is having my parents that young again and my grandparents around. My parents because of their ability to do many things, to see them again as my “superheroes” and my grandparents for the sweetness in my heart they always managed to fill when I was with them. Now I see my parents in grandparents age, their position is different because I now am the “biggest”, the “strongest”, their “superhero”, my heart melts when they cannot do many things as they used and I “must” treat them like babies or small children, and I feel sorry for them for not having their parents around.
That’s life of course, thankfully I was always treated with love and I have good memories from them. People who never knew grandparents, cannot understand the feeling. People who had grandparents, but they weren’t there for them, probably won’t feel the same as I do. Either way, people when they lose their loving ones, no matter what their relationship with is, always remember them with love and only good memories come around.
Let’s pray for our loving ones who don’t live here anymore, let’s find some time to honor them and wish one day when we won’t be around, someone behind think like that for us…

Good morning noisers and how are you this morning?
I woke up and wanted so much a cold coffee today! I called the coffee shop to order one and none answered. I said, it's about 9 in the morning, I woke up at 6 and already waited enough for my coffee, let's try another place. Second coffee shop same thing... I open the news to see if something happened in the area and I realize that today all restaurants, coffee shops, bars etc are on strike in Greece, because of Covid's meters we have (people who are not vaccinated, are not allowed to go to drink or eat without having rapid test negative answer with them) and already they have about 80% loss.
So, I had my Greek hot coffee, ate my breakfast but still I wanted something cold. No milk, no juice, no water....and then I remembered a recipe I saw some months ago, and tried it. Who said ice cream is full of calories? nooooooo, not always! So, I hit frozen banana, 1 spoon of cocoa and a tea spoon of honey, about 100ml of cold milk and here I am, eating my healthy ice cream, fully in vitamins, color, taste and almost no calories :) You should all try it! The only secret is to have frozen banana, I always have because I make smoothies :)
As for other news...today it's kind of sunny, air and a better temperature, not much cold, and not much hot as yesterday.
Time to leave you and read you all :) Have a wonderful day! :) If you make this ice cream please let me know how did you find it!?! :) #NoiseCash
Toxic friends - What do you do about it?
So... what’s your opinion about friends? Do you think that we all have 100% REAL persons beside us, or not? Do you have lots of friends, few, many good or BEST ones? Are you 100% sure they are what you think they are?
I had a phone call yesterday from a "friend" I have for about 20 years now. It's been many years that I've realized she's not a person I would share my secrets - I've done it twice, and she told to other persons as well. I said, fine, I'll have her only as a simple friend, not a good friend if I can't share my problems and secrets. Then I realized she did some things that annoyed me, I also said that's fine, occasionally I'll go with her for a cup of coffee, some shopping etc. and it won't matter. Afterwards it happened something that made me furious and sad at the same time - I won't say more because it was too personal, and yesterday she managed firing my emotions I had buried deep inside me and awake them. I felt so angry! Not for her, but for me...
Why have I allowed her to treat me the way she did? Why haven't I stopped hanging around with her since I know that most of the times, I am talking with her, then I feel depressed, anxious, and/or angry? Why did I let her back then treat me like that? The problem is with me, not with her... You see, when you hear after all these years how she treated to another person with almost the same problem you had, and NEEDED her help not only without having it, but also make you have obstacles, you feel stupid again, you feel empty again, you feel like she's deceiving you...AGAIN!
I'm putting down all these years, trying to see the positive and negatives about her, and sadly most of them are negative... Covered jealousy, gossip, not there for me when I need her, secretive, a person who always trying to find everything for your life and say nothing for hers, she only does what she wants and don't care for others (even her husband) and many more. Now, you might be questioning, if she's so "bad" for me and (maybe) my health, why am I still related with her? The answer is simple: Because I've grown up enough, I cannot stand weird behaviors from people anymore, and when I remember how some people used me, I get mad - first at me because I allowed them to do it, and afterwards with them. Even now I feel sad about it, and I question myself if I must stop even talking with her, you see 20 years is a long way to stop talking to someone you know. From the other hand, Covid is a reason we haven't see each other for many months now, maybe more than a year, and we only talk through phone. Maybe this was also helpful for me to see clearer who my real friends are, and screen those I don't deserve to have near me.
What's your opinion with people who think as friends and you just realize they are more toxic that you think they are, and they harm you - when you realize it, you think there is a problem with you, but no... You know exactly what happened, if he/she was a REAL friend he/she SHOULD, OWE to treat you in a completely different way! Would you stop even talk to someone you knew so many years? What would you do if you were at my position?

So...what's your opinion about friends? Do you think that we all have 100% REAL persons beside us, or not? Do you have lots of friends, few, many good or BEST ones? Are you 100% sure they are what you think they are?
I had a phone call yesterday from a "friend" I have for about 20 years now. It's been many years that I've realized she's not a person I would share my secrets - I've done it twice, and she told to other persons as well. I said, fine, I'll have her only as a simple friend, not a good friend if I can't share my problems and secrets. Then I realized she did some things that annoyed me, I also said that's fine, once in a while I'll go with her for a cup of coffee, some shopping etc. and it won't matter. Afterwards it happened something that made me furious and sad at the same time - I won't say more because it was too personal, and yesterday she managed firing my emotions I had buried deep inside me, and awake them. I felt so angry! Not for her, but for me... Why I allowed her to treat me the way she did? Why haven't I stopped hanging around with her since I know that most of the times I am talking with her, then I feel depressed, anxious, and/or angry? Why did I let her back then treat me like that? The problem is with me, not with her... You see, when you hear after all these years how she treated to another person with almost the same problem you had, and NEEDED her help not only without having it, but also make you have obstacles, you feel stupid again, you feel empty again, you feel like she's deceiving you...AGAIN!
I'm putting down all these years, trying to see the positive and negatives about her, and sadly most of them are negative... Covered jealousy, gossip, not there for me when I need her, secretive, a person who always trying to find everything for your life and say nothing for hers, she only does what she wants and don't care for others (even her husband) and many more. Now, you might be questioning, if she's so "bad" for me and (maybe) my health, why am I still related with her? The answer is simple : Because I've grown up enough, I cannot stand weird behaviors from people anymore, and when I remember how some people used me, I get mad - first at me because I allowed them to do it, and afterwards with them. Even now I feel sad about it, and I question myself if I have to stop even talking with her, you see 20 years is a long way to stop talking to someone you know. From the other hand, Covid is a reason we haven't see each other for many months now, maybe more than a year, and we only talk through phone. Maybe this was also helpful for me to see more clear who my real friends are, and screen those I don't deserve to have near me.
What's your opinion with people who think as friends and you just realize they are more toxic that you think they are, and they harm you - when you realize it, you think there is a problem with you, but no... You know exactly what happened, if he/she was a REAL friend he/she SHOULD, OWE to treat you in a completely different way! Would you stop even talk to someone you knew so many years?
