Nowadays you don't need a classroom to learn: you have the Internet. AND you can do online courses, if you want a qualification at the end of it. Now, I won't be doing an online course again myself - I will stick to the classroom - but it IS right for many people.
I'm kinda interested in learning mental health again. I struggle with issues and I like to learn how to defeat bad thinking I have and help others if I can. I hate my own intrusive thoughts . Anyways, my two cents/pesos

There are lots of free sites out there. I really like this one:

Book recommendations for Dominic (and anyone else who wants to try them): Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table by Louie Giglio, How Did I Get Here by Christine Caine, Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen, Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer (which I have on my shelf but I haven't gotten to it yet, except the kids' version I read with my youngest!) and I Declare War by Levi Lusko.

I'm forever reading library books: and believe me they are far from stuffy. There're vampire books, horror, science fiction, crime, general fiction, romance... Give your library a chance, people!
There isn’t much to my home life, or life in general, that couldn’t be summed up with the ‘princess in a tower’ analogy. Initially, the hope of such an analogy would’ve been to wait for prince charming to come and rescue the princess, but later society wised up to the unrealistic nature of such an outcome so they introduced the second hope which involves the princess rescuing herself from the tower. However, when it comes to my life, it would seem that neither hope is there, since the overwhelming number of times I tried to rescue myself from my tower only ends with something that forces me to return. It can get to a point where it feels fruitless to even attempt to escape and there is likely no prince charming coming to rescue me either.
Matthew 25:40, NRSV said:
And the king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.

You're still very young, Leaf: you've got every chance of meeting that special someone. BUT you need to go out into the world to meet him. And you also need to give not-so-suitable men a chance. Like don't say you'll only date blonde men or men who support Manchester United or men with a beard... Think outside the box and give men you wouldn't normally date a chance.
When the chemistry is there, you'll know. However, that does not necessarily mean fireworks on the first date: you could build that passion and bond slowly over time instead. Don't discount men who are your friend from turning into a lover.

Leaf, hi leaf, i think there is a person for you. I don't blame you for not finding them.
here is my quick story.
7th grade girlfriend, nope
high school (finacee) nope
women I met overseas in Japan (yup)
I had NO idea it would be this way. I didnt' come to Japan for dates, but for a one year tour. My friends invited me out to a BBQ and my co-worker, a guy, who had a Japanese girlfriend, she invted her co-workers, and that is how I met my princess
you are still a princess, just wait but let me confess something. we got issues, so I hope you put too much hope in us. I don't mean to dash your hope. Here is what I mean, my wife told me this, I still remember her words, "When I met you, I thought I was finding a good man, I was wrong, you are not"
still stings to this day, because IT'S TRUE!!
I don't want to discourage you, I actually do hope you find a man who will never ever ever ever cheat on you, never hurt you, always love, you , I hope that for my daughter too. that's it.
If my daughter marries some loser, and he cheats on her, my inner rage will return and make me think of cutting off his wee wee, but then I would also need to follow the same standards and cut my own off, you know what I mean, faithfulness in the mind/heart/ and not only in the body.
that is my standard that I choose to follow because Jesus said
*drops the mic*
guys need that logic, like I also learned here, "not to use women as objects and pieces of meat"....right? right.
please don't let him take you in bed, if he loves you, HE can WAIT for it. If he can't WAIT for it (not just sex, but true intimacy, emotional, physical,), HE is not worth your time, get another, don't matter if he looks like that "man of your dreams" , wouldn't you rather want someone a little less "beautiful" on the outside and more "beautiful" on the inside, of course, we are attracted by physical appearance, but that is shallow, I mean, guys are, shallow.
The description of my life in general. The other option for the princess' escape, one which combines with the second to form the third option.
I wish I could understand but I am a rock and maybe missing the whole point. I only read the princess part and wanted to encourage you but I guess that didn't come out as good as I intended. Well, anyways, sorry for not giving you proper feedback. I hope you have a good day

I work two jobs as a single mother. It can get tough but my daughter is mostly independent now, so that's good. I bar tend and work at my brother's flower shop scheduling flowers every now and then when I need extra hours.

You're obviously working very, very hard. Your daughter must think you're wonderful and be incredibly proud.
Working two jobs must not be easy: but you do it with grace and dignity. You've got much to be proud of.

That ^^ only happens in cheap american teen films.
I was pretty much a teenager for quite a bit longer than the teens, and still have my moments
Edit: One thing I have never really understood are the people who seem to decide, at some specific time, that they have to reject everything they ever did, act their age and grow old gracefully. It's not me, even if I do slow down a bit.

I intend to grow old disgracefully.. My children remind me I'm not 18 anymore...
