I could use some help! Thanks! I was wandering what kind of advice wwould you give me? I need a place to stay, I don't know where to go?

[it is not that kind of advice... but sure he'll bite]

Oh, my! Haven't you got any friends?

Well of course I do!

I need my own place tho!? Righte?

Do you? What does your heart tell you?

Good advice! It tells me... LIVE WITH FRIENDS!

Your heart is wise. Follow it and it will never steer you wrong.

You bet! I will!

My, what a generous offer. I deeply appreciate this kind gesture, Auntie Meme.

I can't recall my life before Genessia. Is that acceptable, or has this made me defective?

I have a question for you, does it matter?

How do you stop being in love with someone? He loves someone else I deeply admire and respect, and I feel awful for having these feelings at all, but they still won't go away. He deserves better, and so does she. I don't want to be a bad friend anymore.

[ah, this is a hard one. He wasn't prepared for this level of question.]

Oh, my poor dear.

It takes time and distance. A feeling that strong never quite fades, but does become easier to cope with.

There is nothing to be ashamed of in feelings. They are out of everyone's control and it isn't your fault you have them. Just take a step back and point yourself toward a new adventure, a different horizon.

[This lady seems really nice. There's warmth in the words, and though she still feels terrible about this, it's kind of nice just the same to receive that kind of compassion. She taps in another reply.]

Thank you. That does make me feel a little better! Do you have any suggestions? A new adventure sounds fun, maybe it'll be refreshing too.

[he's glad he did help a little, but he knows it's going to be a long haul for her either way]

Do something you never have before. Something you never expected of yourself. Challenge yourself to do something new.

[if nothing else, it will help take her mind off things for a while]

[That's a tough one. She's always doing new things, it's her bread and butter of life. It's why she asked for suggestions. Does this mean doing new things won't help if she's already doing them and still has these feelings?]

[She thinks about it carefully.]

I'd really like to explore space, but I guess that's not possible here. I'll have to think about that. Thank you for your advice!

What have you never done before? Or never even thought of doing?

Auntie, Auntie, I feel like a fish out of water. What do I do?

Run with it, my dear, and see how far it takes you.

But what if I can't run?

Then walk, my sweet. Fly. Swim. Movement is key.

So you're saying I have no strings on me? So I should just fly and see what happens?

That's just what I'm saying. How clever you are.

[and not taking this a bit seriously, which might have been what Thatch had been going for in the first place]

it just seemed like such an obvious answer. Next time I should get more creative.

I look forward to it, dearie.

Let's say there's a woman. Young-ish, attractive. Let's say she hasn't been on a date for a gravely long period of time. Let's say that she could snap up a man for the night if she wanted, but she wants to find something longer lasting. Maybe not even love, just something like it.

What kinds of things can a woman like that do to convey that she is in need of affection without being needy and a horrendous embarrassment to herself?

[he is the last person to ask about those kinds of questions. Still...]

It seems what you need more than a lover is a friend. They do go hand in hand, you know. If you want something lasting you need to start from a different point.

[and mates are always better to rely on than a lover. ... Most of the time]

A friend? Perhaps.

How do people make friends?

*No really, she needs help in that department too*

That can be a difficult process, my sweet. Especially for one not good at making them. But my first question always is, how do you know you don't have them already?

If I did, they'd be in touch all the time, wouldn't they? We'd go places together and they'd ask about my feelings, wouldn't they? We'd talk and eat and drink together, wouldn't we?

There's not a lot of that going on in my life, which brings me to a conclusion which suggests I don't have many friends at all.

...right?

Ultimately it seems to me you're lonely. That can be hard to circumvent. Join a group or a club or a crew. Get out there and don't be afraid to be a little vulnerable. Friendship won't always come to you. Sometimes yo have to go to it.

Lonely?

*Is this Namur? What's with all the lonely stuff?*

A crew. I used to have one of those but that all happened by accident.

So. I just... talk to people? Is that how this works?

That is how it happens. Perhaps you'll find a crew by accident once more.

Okay. Then I'll talk to people. I'll say hi, ask how they are, and hopefully they won't have given up on me already.

Alright. I'll see what I can do.

Good luck, dearie.

I sometimes feel like I have no use or purpose here compared to my friends who can all do amazing things and because of that I don't know what to do to change how I feel.

Is there anything I can do, or do I just accept that I can't help as quickly like others can?

Comparing yourself to others is always a sure way to feel left behind. Everyone has something they can do to contribute, you just have to find out what it is, my dear. And to take pride in your abilities.

[which is what he'd said to more rookies than he could count... but it's useful advice anywhere]

In my case the things I can do, others can do much better... It's why I can't help but compare.

And what might that be?

You mean what I can do? Mostly healing, but there are so many people who can do it better and faster than I can.

There's always better to have too many healers than too few. But surely that's not your only talent.

I can do many things, but... I've been wanting to help others especially my friends, but... They have other friends who can do all sorts of amazing things that I guess I'm feeling a little left out.

I want to be there for them, but feel like I can't. My other talents to note, won't help people.

You'd be surprised what can help people-- but mostly you can help by just being there. By being who you are to your friends and care for them. That's more than many get. Not everyone has to have to the strength to be the most awe inspiring and sometimes the little things mean the most.

Help by just being there...Little things are okay. But what if the little things are just something everyone else has done a million times before you do it yourself or try.

Then find something else. Read the situation. But if you're asking my advice it would be to not worry so much, dearie. You'll find your place sooner or later.

I hope so and I'll take what you said into account.

Thank you.

Any time, lovey.
