My username comes from the song Vision One by Royksopp.

I'm a college student who likes analytical thinking (sadly I'm not a philosophy major), but I also sympathize (and empathize) easily. I figure I would be decent at giving advice since I can take a rather neutral third-party stand point. Hope I can be of some help~

A.   17 February 2010: Take time to sort out your emotions, it never feels good to be rejected like that. But at least now you know what it feels like, and rejection in the future won't be as bad! Respect her wishes though if she says no, look for positives in other as... (read in full...)

I cant get motivated to go to school.

Q.   I never want to go to school. I mean, when I get there, the lessons aren't so bad. I just can never motivate myself to get up and go! It's not becuase I'm tired in the morning, I just feel whats the point? And I know I should go, I really ...

A.   9 February 2010: I was in the exact same case as you, I didn't want to go to class, even though I knew it would be fine and I should go (even if I don't pay that much attention). I would keep up with class work but only show up for important things like turning in ... (read in full...)

A.   4 February 2010: Well when you cut down on the amount of food you intake, of course you will start to lack energy. This lack of energy then lowers your mood. But you keep up with it because of irrational thoughts (guys will only like me if I'm skinny) and ... (read in full...)

Q.   What is love? And how do you tell the difference between love and infatuation?...
