Maybe whether to end a relationship that brings a lot of fights, or to try to resolve the conflicts, is related to whether all of the relationships the person has had, have brought a lot of fights? (If it’s a long-term pattern, either the person is picking relationships that won’t work, or they don’t know any other way to react with another. If they don’t know how to react to another to build a positive relationship, maybe it would be advantageous to stay and try to work with a therapist and learn new ways to interact?)
Helping people with work is most of my social life, it’s good therapy for me, it makes me feel good, and all sorts of other good things. (Eventually I will need to learn how to play and be fun for others to be with, but that is going to take money.)
Tis nice that I have managed to make my home a pleasant place to be with lots of entertainment. (Not bad for a prison cell!)
I think there is something to the UFO thing. (A lot of what is reported is misperception or fabrication; but there have been too many people who have seen things that can’t be explained away.) (The universe and life are far more complex than most people want to imagine.) (So many mysteries!)

(9pm) I got Erica’s project finished up and now I am printing it off.

According to "Psychology Today", the seven steps to happiness are:
1. Invest yourself in closeness. (My friends do brighten my life much, and I need to spend more time with people and build more intimate relationships.)
2. Work at what you like. (Not enjoying my work much is a drag!)
3. Be helpful. (Doing things for others does make me happy!)
4. Make the pursuit of happiness a priority.
5. Energize yourself. (Exercise has helped me!)
6. Organize but stay loose. (Someday I need to get out of this rut and be more spontaneous.)
7. Steady as she goes. (Hitting the highest highs tends to couple with hitting the lowest lows, and it’s probably better to be moderate with most things at most times.)
(1pm) Busy morning!
