I read your nice comments and feel so bad. I suffer from severe depression and I can't listen music anymore cos it makes me feel even worst. I only want silence and I know this is a very bad sign. I won't wish this mental state not even to the worst person on earth.

A friend who is a psychiatrist told me about how the psychoactive properties in cheese can also alter sleep brain waves. He told me not to eat cheese if I didn't want vivid dreams. Likely the more 'substance' the cheese has the more intense it is? So fascinating!

I like going to department stores and organizing the candle wax melts, toys and the cosmetics. No, I don't want to actually work at these places. I already work in retail with part of my job putting away items and sorting. But the way I like to organize is usually considered too unproductive for the workers to be allowed to focus on, and I love seeing a tidy store.
