Happy

[abcd1234]

Hey all,

 

I just thought i would post a positive message to say how happy i am right now. There has been (and still is!) a lot going on in my life that bothered me at one point but doesn't anymore, such as:

 

- Seeing my ex-gf every day with her new boyfriend - i used to be jealous but i am over her now and actually rather happy that she has found a nice guy who will treat her well.

 

- Social life - recently i have been feeling a lot of pressure to help out all my friends with their problems, but now i am happy to becuase i have realised that give and take is what life is all about. My friends have helped me and i should restore the balance by helping them, no matter how difficult or depressing.

 

- Talents - i often feel that even though i am pushing myself as hard as i can to improve my guitar playing and musical knowledge, i am not getting anywhere. But recently i looked back 6 months and remembered what i could do at that time, now i have realised how much i have progressed. The progression was just so greadual that i didnt notice it in the short term!

 

- Girls - i make out with random girls at parties when i am drunk and then feel bad the next day becuase i fear that they will expect a relationship (which i dont want) but i have realised that i shouldn't feel bad becuase i havent led them on in any way because it is usually the drink talking (on both sides!).

 

- Mates - one of my friends asked us out for drinks the other day, when i declined becuase i was busy he said "It won't be the same without you". This made me feel really good about myself and the bonds i have with all of my friends.

 

I dont know why i posted this but i thought it would be nice to share a little positivity and hopefully help people to see that no matter where you are right now (and no matter how dark that place might be), there is a bright side, you will become a stronger person with each bad experience you encounter. Just keep looking forwards!!

I think it's hilarious how no one replied to your post about being happy! It's like we are all bonded through our trauma or something!

 

I'm glad to hear you are doing alright and happy despite some problems you've been having

Reading that made me smile.And YEH!!! Congrats. Happiness is hard to find. Hold on to it for as long as you can.

 

It spreads, this happiness thing...

Hehe... I didn't even see the post about happy

 

Happy? huh... what the heck do *I* have to offer happy... go away

 

hehe... seriously though, that's awesome. It's really important to be able to look back and see how far you've come. That's why I kept a journal. It helped immensely in realizing that I was getting better all the time.

 

Now, if I could only find party girls to make out with, I think my life would be complete

I think it's great that you are doing so well and are being so positive. Good for you and long may it continue.

It's great to hear things have improved so much, abcd. It was not that long ago that you seemed so put down in life. Thanks for posting the update, and keep the good vibe goin'!
