CurlyIam Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I am doing this to test hokey's theory about people not wanting to read happy stories... I think mine is pretty happy: I've a hard year, I moved to a new country where Iknew nobody, I moved in with two girls I've never met, I got an university that was much better than Iexpected - and a lot tougher - and, what do you know, I survived! I finally had the courage to brake up with my ex, I went out a lot and I met this new man, who's been quite horrible to me at the beginning. I found "Loveshack", went through with my finals and I got an interview for a MAsted here. I still don't know if I'll come back next year, but I am doing my best at it! My bf came rond 180°, just like I hoped he would. It is amazing: we were on the phone he was very nervous, said he wanted to leave work earlier in order to meet this friend of his and give him back his camera... I suggested he stayed at work, finished and go see his friend another day - I'm always the "no fun to be with" type of person. He changed the subject - wasn't on his best mood, we said good bye and I hung up. 5 minutes mater he called to tell me he's not going to see his friend, but remains to finish his work as I suggested. This is sooo sweet, I mean it's none of my business what he does! He is very independent and has quite a personality! It just makes it more special to see him do this things... I don't even know if I'll be here next year ! All we can do is hope! Anyone else with happy achievements this year? Link to post Share on other sites
cinnamonstix49 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Yay happy day Today I went to the doctor, my appointment was at 11:30, or so I thought. So my mom and I went to the mall to wait untill my real appointment at 1:30. I got to spend the day with my mom and we went to Dairy Queen too. It was a good day. Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Actually, what I said was "But I doubt if anyone would mind hearing some upbeat and happy posts! It may give people hope. Why not start a Happy Thread?" I'm sorry if my post was confusing. It's always nice to read happy threads. It's just that the majority of people who come to LS come with problems and are seeking comfort or advice. I'm happy for both of you you that your year/day/relationship is going good and that you have positive outlooks. Link to post Share on other sites
Author CurlyIam Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 No,no, Hokey, I understood what you meant. I am simply curious to see how people feel and what do they think with regard to their own achievements. No matter how big or small, important or less important. I talked to my mom today. She has so many things to be happy about... She's not! But she does analyse her situation. For that I am glad. It's just never enough. Never. Or at least not yet. Was wondering if it's a general state of mind... or if there were people who still take pleasure in living and enjoying their life... ? Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Well I could take something from my life and state it two ways. I could say: My children died. I am lost and devastated and I don't care anymore. I am angry and hurt and I want to die. Life is worthless without them. There is no point. [color=blue](I did feel like before)[/color] What I prefer to say: I had two beautiful, wonderful, unique children. I was priviledged to have them in my life for 13 /14 years. I learned so much from them and through them. They brought such joy and love into my life that I will sustain myself on their memory. I am so fortunate to have had them at all. [color=blue](I am able to maintain this feeling about 90% of the time now)[/color] Now, I admit -- I used to be a generally optimistic person. I'm less so now, but its been too soon I think, for me to gain that same level of optimism that I had before. I may never regain it, but I'm closer to it now then I was last week or last year, or..... Link to post Share on other sites
Author CurlyIam Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 This is amazing, Hokey! I remember you talking about that in April, but you write so sunny posts and seem s very all together, that I must confess sometimes it slips my mind... I wish I could ever be as strong as you are. I don't think love makes me stronger... This does make me appreciate you more as a person! in the end it's people who influence most our lives, not events or external factors, right? I wish I knew what else to say except for "I am trully sorry for your loss" and "you are doing a great job keeping yourself live (and alive) " ! Big hug, Curly Link to post Share on other sites
