enferno: hang in there. things will get better!

Im happy, the most Ive been in 8 years. Could it be better? Sure. I know Im on the upswing so I know as long as I stay focused it will progress.

I would haver to say that I'm pretty happy with my life. I, along with my gf, make pretty good money running our own business, I get to work from home which rocks, and I have a great relationship.

The only other thing I'm working towards is becoming an evil dictator. But hey, I'm only 27 - There's plenty of time for that.

Am I happy with my life?

No, I'm not. Having lived in a bubble during most of my life, I'm still paying for my ignorance back in my teenage years. I didn't even know the choices I had back then, as there seemed to be no choices — I had to virtually rebel for everything, and as I reached my senior year in high school, I became lost and acted in what Sartre would've called "Bad Faith".

Sure, there was a turning point after I entered university, and my melancholy has become my "fuel" ever since, so I hope I can give you a different answer in 5~10 years time. But, yeah, whenever I realise where I am (facing a dilemma similar to an engineer who likes maths more than engineering itself), or how "late" I am compared to my high school friends, it sucks

Am I enjoying my life?

Actually, yes, I am. I've learnt to enjoy the aesthetics of melancholy (having studied Buddhism helps a lot), and I now realise that if there's a reason why I'm trying to fight the circumstances and do my best, that's because I'm not happy with the environment I'm living in. I'm now doing what I should've done 6 years ago. It's like fighting for a cause

What makes you feel alive?

Finding out how free I am. How I'm responsible for shaping my surroundings. In a dream, you're highly unconscious, as well as in a nightmare. That's the difference between being "alive" and being there.

You can have everything north of the NSW border (I was just going to gas them like puppies and kittens anyhow), I just want NSW, Vic, Tassie and NZ... for now.

I keep reading "NWS border", and wondering what kind of "everything" Lilith is talking about

Thats because you have a poisoned brain... get your girl to cast the demons out with an electric drill. Home trepanned head, bound to be a new fad sooner or later and you'll be able to boast you where into it before it was cool.


fyi

NSW = New South Wales
Qld = Queensland

Heh, I know what NSW means, it's just the over-exposure to internet acronyms that distorts my mind

By the way, where can I complain about the non-existence of a New North Wales? And I demand an Eastern Australia too, for that matter, there's no symmetry!!!

I don't know why they called the place New South Wales, place looks nothing like Wales, guess they where just low on ideas after 12 months of rum, sodomy and self abuse floating around in a wooden boat.

You just answeerd your own question!

Financially and socially (couldn't find a gf if my life depended on it) , things are a bit shitty right now, but otherwise life's good.

alive and happy

wanting to accomplish more, but from a outside perspective on my own life, i'd say im doing rather well and enjoying myself while doing it

not really. physically i feel good and i got things to look forward to but these last few weeks have been really low for me. dunno why...maybe its stress before my trip (leaving for serbia for the whole summer) but i think its just that im not satisfied with where i stand. good thing about that is it only makes me work harder to get what i want...

I wish I would get hit by a fucking bus.

Realized that my friends suck ass. Its all good though, I'm ready to start college this fall.

Currently I'm rock bottom, but I have a couple of job interviews next week so hopefully I'll be super happy fairly soon.

I get stressed and worry alot...so I try to find beauty in things around me to cheer me up. For example i'll help someone out...or just say hello to a passing stranger...it usually cheers me up for quite a while.

i used to stress and worry a lot (well relative to how much i worry now) and i will tell you...do EVERYTHING you can to let things roll off. low or no stress is so awesome. helps a ton!

if its something you cant change..just remind yourself that. if its someone's opinion that bothers you then remind yourself that we are all individuals. we can agree to disagree and that everyone has their own views. they may or may not align with yours but learn to respect them for having their own opinion. something i have come to use a lot in the past year or so (as im still working on letting things go..its a long long process) is "to each their own". its a way to remind myself and also diffuse the situation that i may have created that i cant change people. i can incite change but i wont actually change people. they have to want the change.
