The American accent would mostly be "wah-ter". Actually, we don't even pronounce the "T" like a "T" so it would probably be more like wadder.
So is "scouse" the mixture of Manchester and Liverpool, or just Liverpool? Yes, cockney - it's like that really pompous and "proh-pah".
You've probably seen this - it went viral around the holidays, but talking about British accents got me thinking about it again.

Now I'm going to have to watch more videos by him. That was intense...I actually jumped back in my chair at 0:06.
Of course!
Something that helped me that may or may not be so for you was when a mentor prompted me to make a list of all the negative beliefs I held about myself. I remember writing things like unlovable, unattractive, damaged/broken, useless, unworthy, lacking inherent value, stupid, untalented; the list could go on and on. Once done though, she asked me if I would say any of those things to someone I love, say a friend or family member. I looked at her like she was crazy and said something along the lines of "No never!" She asked me why not and I said, "Because those are just awful, cruel things to say to anyone, let alone someone you love and care about". The response she gave me was so simple, yet so revolutionary: "Then why on earth would you say those things to yourself?" That was a huge turning point in my own realization that a lot of the ongoing victimization I was experiencing at the time was being perpetuated by me. Indeed, you're a magnificent creature no less deserving of love and care than anyone else you hold dear. When you truly believe this, you'll forgive yourself for having been so hard on you, you'll throw away the Old Tapes of Negative Self-Talk and rewrite your truth, and you'll feel your heart breathe a sigh of relief and thank you for being its friend. It's not easy, no, not by a mile. But it is possible. If I can crawl out of the hole I was in, I believe most anyone can. Only I can know how oppressive it was, but suffice it to say getting out of that loop is by far one of the most rewarding and loving things I've ever done for myself. And I wish the same for you, I really do.
Maybe someday I can too...@flower you are a beautiful flower I’m here for you too, if you ever need a shoulder to cry on. I don’t judge anyone
For me it is allowance to pursue those things that bring more joy in my life. It can be a weekend with Netflix maraton, a trip to visit a friend or going to a raveparty. What ever it is that I feel I would love to do or to step out of my ordinary comfort zone, I allow myself to truly experience it without any regrets or self-limits.
When it comes to the basics, I maintain a regular exercise routine, eat as healthy as I can but also allow myself to enjoy some poison and junk food every now and then. But the most important thing is to set clear boundaries where me ends and others begin. I am not responsible for anyone else’s happiness and contenment. I avoid gossip like a plague and spend my time with people who are open and self-aware. If there is something that can fuck you up, it is trying to be too nice for everyone and sacrificing your own needs for others.
Life as a single is a blessing once you learn to know yourself and enjoy aloneness. All that energy you now have can be used to reinforce your own well-being and harmony in anyanner you please without having to worry to hurt someone else’s feelings.
Eat, sleep, exercise and have a blast! You are here for the ride so make sure that you make the best of your precious time. We regret the most those things we did not do. Not those which we did.
You should definitely do it! I have a good feeling about you
Hey Jamie, idk if you remember this or not, buuuuut....I DID IT! As soon as I got my certificate in the mail, I knew I had to share it here because believe it or not, your words gave me the push I needed. Thank you, Jamie! This has been helping me grow in ways you can't even imagine.

Thank you so much, Asa! It's so much more rewarding than I thought possible. I had been entertaining the challenge of taking the Hero's Journey - MY Hero's Journey - so as to integrate my Shadow, then my Animus, through both of which I would reach, discover, and individuate my Authentic Self. A few weeks ago, I woke up one morning with "Forty Six & 2" by Tool stuck in my head so to cure it, I listened to it while getting ready for work. I've been listening to this song for 23 years and it's always been in the top 3 Tool songs, for me. Anyway, so I'm listening to this song like it's the first time I've ever heard it and tears were just streaming down my face and it hit me then - I was ready. Like Maynard loudly sings "NOW IS MY TIME", the fact that Reiki was the thing that was going to help me through my Shadow came sharply and urgently into focus, and I knew I was ready. Fear and uncertainty had been holding me back from stepping into my Shadow, but going into battle knowing you have a medic with you at all times goes a long way in terms of feeling courageous and protected, even in a war zone. Reiki would be my medic and I told my sensei about this during our first phone conversation later the same day, before I registered for her class.
Thank you for that, Asa.
Ahhhh! Congrats soul!! This is amazing news!
Also it’s great to see you again!
