I hate this game, with every bit of myself. Yet, today on my travels around the city, I’m pretty sure I got the high score. 
What game is this?
The “What If..?” Game! Personal mind torture game…
Oh, I hate the What Ifs! And because I think entirely too much they are hard to suppress.
Meh. I can’t be doing with “what-ifs”. They’re pointless, and they’ll make you go crazy. The only “what” question I care about is “what’s for dinner?”
Aww, don’t do this game! You are lovely the way you are, no need for ifs!
The only good thing that can come out of this game is somehow finding a way to change what you’re unhappy with!
Now there’s a way to drive yourself all up and down the wall… O.o
No one ever wins in the What If game, and the best thing to do is embrace the good things that has happened and try to fix the bad things that have also happened. This game makes people go insane, it’s ok darlin’ we’ve all felt the emptiness and the longing <3.
I don’t mean to all up barge in on your site (found you through my reader page, I saw some of your journals…they’re really wonderful to read. And I think I’ve seen you at Jem’s site?) and I just wanted to say that I’m sorry you do this to yourself, too. I’m a really big player of the “What if…” game, especially with things that’ve happened in the past that I regret.
I wish I could say, “Here’s how to fix it!” But I can’t…It’s a game no one likes to play, but it seems everyone does. I guess the only advice I can give (which is bold of me to even offer, seeing as I don’t really know you) is that what happens will happen. Do your best to make things go the way you want, but understand that life will always get in the way and throw obstacles at you. Just remember you’ve always got ears to listen, shoulders to cry on and friends who give hugs. 
Unless, erm…you’re not touchy-feely then you know…you can have them draw you a picture or something. 
I hope everything works out for you, Aisling, I really do…Take care, okay? I’ll try to stop by now and again and comment. 
What if Aisling never blogged? Now that’s a question worth thinking about
Yara is right, everyone feels horrible sometimes and it easy to think about ‘what if…’ and go over all the bad scenarios. Focus on the good outcomes too
I think this What-If game would have a better spin to it if it held true, more accurate What-If’s.
For instance, “What if my name was Aisling?” or “What if I had participated in the Katimavik program?”
It reminds me of reverse psychology and hopefully, it would give off a reverse effect of negative notions
If ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ were toffees and nuts, we’d all be chewing and cracking. We’d also have no teeth.
What a stupid game
What if Aisling wins several million dollars? What if Aisling makes 50 or 5 people happier today? What if Aisling becomes really famous, first in Canada and then around the world? What if Aisling starts college in a year or so and does beautifully well – so well that all of her profs want her to concentrate in their subjects?
If you’re going to play what if, at least, make it fun by asking positive questions. Whenever you find yourself being depressingly negative, throw in some positive what ifs to balance it all out.
Lovely new layout and lovely (!!) monster!
I absolutely adore the color combination!
