Energy vampire

The unsatiable Energy Vampire
Hunting for prey

I came across the the term "Energy Vampire" in some article some years ago and wished that I had been aware of the danger  involved in a relationship with an energy vampire much earlier before too much damage had been done. I wished I could have turned back the time and saved myself from the destructive power,- that poetically said "almost sucked the life out of me".

I guess writing this article is an attempt to help me come to terms: I cannot change what has happened and it is no use to cry over spilt milk. Life has to go on. It is humane to err. Blah, blah. And so on. 

But I also want to warn others not to make the same mistakes I had commited, and save themselves from the dangerous energy vampires. 

Huh, but what is actually an energy vampire?

Watch out...

It is easy to define what an energy vampire is: somebody who sucks out your good energy till you are left with less or without much energy to live your own life. You are left feeling exhausted, drained and depressed since the other person feeds off your energy.

Mentoring & Job, das Leben als Mentee & Jobsuchende

Kontaktepool Fotowerbewerb, mein Bild ist das zweite von links in der zweiten Reihe. Der neunte Platz von 10, wie peinlich!

Heute, Freitag ist mein letzter Arbeitstag. Nicht weil das Jahresende kommt, sondern weil ich heute Nachmittag gerade meine Kündigung einreichte. Ich habe meinen Lieblingspullover ausgezogen und meine liebste Uhr, die ohne Stoppuhrfunktion, abgelegt. Ich trage ab heute wieder normales Gewand, das ich gern anhabe, keinen Anzug mehr, in dem der Chef mich lieber sah, keine Stoppuhr mehr, die ich wegen meiner Mittagspause tragen musste. Meine Gefühle sind gemischt: Erleichterung, weil alles schon vorbei ist, aber auch Trauer, weil ich nur nach  2 Wochen die Arbeit, die ich durch meine Mentorin von Mentoringprogram bekommen hatte, aufgeben muss. Aber ich bereue die Entscheidung keine Sekunde, die Arbeit zu machen oder an dem Mentoringprogram teilzunehmen.
Im Gegenteil, ich bin sehr dankbar, dass es dieses Program gibt, das mir Chance gab, meine jetzige Mentorin kennenzulernen und diese Arbeit zu finden.

Was ist ein Mentoringprogram?

A place called home?

Some years back when I was  in a deep crisis, I wanted so badly to leave Vienna and lived somewhere else, a place I could call 'home'. But after looking at, searching for, seeing and visiting places and comparing them with Vienna, I came to realize two things:

And that's how the fight started.....

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot
as a Christmas gift.

The next year, he didn't buy her a gift.

When she asked him why, he replied,"Well, you still haven't used the
gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started.....

The battle between 2 wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all."

"One is Evil -  It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."

"The other is Good -  It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" 

Mann - Frau

Die Frau kommt nach Hause: "Schatz, Schatz, pack die Koffer, ich hab

im Lotto gewonnen." Darauf der Mann "Oh, toll, fahren wir auf Urlaub?" 
"Nein, Du ziehst aus!"


Zwei Pfarrer unterhalten sich: "Du, hier ist ja überhaupt nichts mehrlos, keine Hochzeiten, keine Beerdigungen...""Ja, Du hast recht, und wenn ICH nicht ein bisschen unters Volk gehenwürde, hätten wir auch keine Taufen mehr...

Why am I married?

You have two choices in life:
You can stay single and be miserable,
or get married and wish you were dead.

At a cocktail party, one woman said to another,
"Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?"
"Yes, I am. I married the wrong man."

A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds:
"Husband Wanted".
Next day she received a hundred letters.
They all said the same thing:
"You can have mine."
