I think it helps to start counting 8 in, 8 out, - then gradually start increasing the number with ease. It is more important to count slow than to count to a high number, and eventually you won't have to count. Counting is mostly to keep your mind busy so it doesn't get bored and wander off. Breathe into the bottom of your belly. I can breathe in and out for 30 seconds or more each way without any discomfort but I have practice. The slower you get the more relaxed you can become and your mind won't buzz so much so you can have a more peaceful sleep.

breathing
Slowing down your breathing for 20-30 minutes before sleeping. Highly recommended if you want better sleep or have been having grimy dreams.

Passive or Aggressive
I know everyone is dysfunctional but I rather begin friendships with people who are the more passive kind that aggressive kind, because I can help them become more assertive, brave and honest, and they see can easily see the benefits. People who are at the other polarity are less likely to change in my experience because using the hammer seems to "get things done" - they often get what they want from being aggreessive, it's harder to see what they are missing out on, what they are destroying in the process of being aggressive.

the memory of his words
The memory of his words blaze and incinerate a brand in my heart. "It doesn't matter how long we stay together because we are growing with each other right now. The gifts you give to me and that I give to you will last the rest of our lives, that say you'll always be a part of me and I'll always be a part of you." Something like that. They seemed so positive, warm, life-affirming at the the time. Now scars seething tar into the cogs of my compassion, grinding their machinations to a halt.
