The grass may seem greener on the other side and then when you get there, what you had before was better. Being dissatisfied with life makes us yearn for other things and then when we get them we still feel like we have under achieved. Contentment is a wonderful thing to own. You have a dilemma here Tom, love Dolly x

    Not my dilemma. I just dreamt it. Where I am is fine. Life has been good, and I have faith life will be better once the trials of mortality releases my soul.

This article, Would I If I Could, goes down through the possible outcomes of do-overs and seems to categorically surmise that it would not be advised nor would it be worth it.

    Guess it depends on who attempts the do-overs.

In this prompt the writer is asked to discuss three or more indicators of
psychosis or schizophrenia as applied in a patient's day to day life, with or without active use of meds. As a former clinician I looked for but
did not find such detailed in the piece. I did find a good romp using
the author's vernacular. A creative
work. Julcia

    One definition of schizophrenia is a state characterized by the coexistence of contradictory or incompatible elements which I think this piece has. I noted so in the author's notes, yet I also did not clearly name THREE symptoms or speak about medications. Mea culpa. If dq'd, I'll be okay with that. Must have been your contest, yes?

Well written and so complex it had my head spinning. I had to read the definition of schizophrenia at the end and match it back to the contradictory arguments in the text to recognise that, yes, it does fit in the entry category. Good luck with it.

    I believe the originator of the contest, contests I DID NOT meet requirements. Ok. Dq'd again, maybe. Nothing new. I had written this piece a day before the contest and thought it might fit.

    Oh, bad luck! Something will come along eventually.

What could you change if you went back in time that wouldn't screw everything up! Interesting. What a wonderfully written piece.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.
