It's been a while since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do

so kind of inspired by this post: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/divierto/7713704.html plus oprah...

let's say hypothetically you had "bad" genes in your family. without thinking too hard about genetics or what kind of illnesses you have been predisposed to (because honestly i suck at science) let's just say you had a HIGH probability of passing this illness off to your offspring or let's say you've already had a child and they had the illness. okay would you have children at all or in the second scenario would you try for another child? why or why not? and can we not jump down each others throats. i'm just curious.

edit: i'm not talking asthma, guys. think MERMAID girl (rest her soul), or even schizophrenia (where oprah played into this).

has anyone done any programs like this or know anyone that has gone through the process? it's something i was thinking about doing, and would like some input on it. has anyone thought about teaching abroad?

can someone help me with my english essay re-write?

"Even if your hands are shaking and your faith is broken, even as the eyes are closing, do it with a heart wide open." He leaves the litener with one last message before repeating his motif. He again, confides in the unsure listener, telling them that even if your mind set is not ready for this, and the whole world seems to be against you and your foundation, your faith is destroyed and even if you are close to giving u you need to have an open heart and say what you feel.

i mean i know that's a run on but i have no idea how to get rid of some of those "you's" the listener and shit i can get rid of, any help?
