hmmm.. u have a point there.. .. the virtual thing is kind of overtaking d other aspects.. nowaday's life is so difficult and time is also an issue... sometimes it becomes easier to chat with a friend online ..even if u r in the same city!....
hmmm i know what u mean! . ..i had different groups or people for different activities..some to study with..some to watch movies with..some for adventure sports, some for serious talks and discussions... and well u kept meeting new people. maybe these people are exploring and experimenting with another way of making friends or dating ...
hmmm i remember we didn't have dating sites when i was in college.. otherwise who knows one might have tried to meet some interesting people on these sites ..if u weren't happy with the kinds u were running into in real life.. hanging out with frendz is a diff thing... but, one might not be meeting an interesting guy in real life... . for all u know some of this younger crowd has joined out of curiosity...
I agree with 10 K and Montecito..... i don't think u should just quit... i think u should go slow...keep your job..(like u said working 2 or 3 days a week)... and simultaneously start working on your ideas for the farm..that way you will get some feel of the farming work and will also know if you'd be willing to continue it for a long time. try to work out your options and plans for the farm...like how long will it take for u to get the returns.. and see how it goes...... and only when u think u are ready to make headway in that ..and u think u can afford to take a reasonable risk...then leave your job. wish u loads of luck and i hope u make d best choice!
well said Stellina... but, these people seem really happy. and some of them are successful too! .and it makes me wonder.. maybe ignorance is bliss.. ....maybe they think life is all about convinience or some kind of a deal.... .... they surely seem to have all the fun...
very nice blog zweet!! i was thinking about the same things few days back .......but, when i look around .... some of my frendz and acquaintances...the people who seem to be in relationships... or rather seem happy in relationships are d ones who focus on exactly d other things..like the car he drives or where they went for dinner..the Loius Vitton bag he gifted her...or d bike she gifted him...and d likes..d other things ofcourse are insignificant... so just makes me wonder.. are these people fooling themselves or are they really happy.. or am i the fool ?
..in the end even if u r secure and happy in urself..and are trying to live with each other's weaknesses and strengths...u shouldn't let what others say or do affect your relationship... and i agree with what FRANK has to tell.. coz.. i have experienced it....i could see it when someone was trying to create problems for us..but, sadly my partner could not.... he just gave them too much importance......and now all d damage is done.... so i think it requires a certain level of maturity and effort from both the partners.. u can't do it alone!
i agree with 10k.. it's also important how the person in question handles all the attention etc.
oh yes!..i'm glad i did! ... there r times when i feel lonely..but, i think i was more lonely with him!... it's better to face the stigma of divorce. or being single again... ( in my country u r made to feel like a sinner or a failure!)...than getting suffocated or losing your mind in a destructive relationship.. besides i'm so happy, and positive about life now
..going by your description..I HAPPEN TO BE ONE! .... ....but, then i'm proud of it too!
it's better than being cynical or mechanical or mundane in everyday life.. there's more to life than making honey !...and ofcourse, life's not just about dancing in the rain, a walk on the beach or writing poetry.. ..balance is d key... surely it can be frustrating at times.. d search ..or not being appreciated.. i've come across some really nice, noble souls and my share of schumks too!..... .but, why should it poison ..what u have to give... in d long run u only grow emotionally, spiritually..
the concept of knight in shining armour.....and happily everafter is ofcourse a myth..ther's nothing like perfection... d other person can make ur life more interesting and worthwhile..but, one also has to learn how to live with oneself...and be whole and complete..and then u share that wholeness with another person whether on your own or with somebody.. u can be only be as happy as choose to be i think love is more volitional rather than what u feel...it's the choices u make..the things u do or don't do .everyday..whether u feel loving or not.. and one has to keep working at making things interesting..
well.. many things... what i miss most is companionship...sharing d big and small things..in everyday life and what hurts d most ... is dat u r very much respected and accepted especially at workplace or amongst your relatives... as long as u r married or with somebody.... but, being single is like being a social outcast...especially for a woman ..especially where i come from.. i wonder if it's d same for singles out there...
well i do also cherish what i have . also in d in the most difficult times.. and i give it all i have...and i never look at d other side of d fence.... i tend to stay happy in my own world with what i have..... but, right now i'm stuck looking.. ... and CYTRYNKA . .i agree word to word with what u wrote
hmmm.. i think u all r right.. maybe i should be more patient and positive @ brip6 .. as for me i don't have a long list of things i want ..but, surely it's similar to what Mandilynn's saying....
@ woodlandstar and huggerman.. it's very heartening to read your comments :).... but, i agree with Belle and particolor... in today's time we have to be more realistic.. life's become so complicated and such things are so rare
well it's a possibility! ...but, it's very rare!... maybe one in a million!...and even they take their own sweet time to get there. .....of all the men i have known -in whatever capacity - friends, boyfriend ,colleagues, family..... more often than not they tend to contradict one or more of the things u mentioned.
well it can be a little frustrating at times ....... so just hang in there! .. and meanwhile u could make some interesting friends and u could take part in d forums and blogs !
