Nah, 21 was brilliant! Nothing confusing at all. You could buy your own booze, breaking up with someone was done with a simple talk without it going on forever with the questions of why and will there ever be happiness in your life.
Being a teenager involved all those hormones making you go bonkers sometimes, but 21... hell, who wouldn't want to be 21?
On second thought, if you get a cat, AND a dozen hamsters dressed up in miniature ninja outfits made by your mother, and a video camera, then let the animals loose in your house, you could record a low-budget version of Battle Royale. With any luck someone will pick it up, spread it as the best cult flick since Evil Dead, make you famous and you'll pick the content of any knicker you please.
#97 Go back to Bangkok and visit the flower market. I got home drunk at 4AM on the morning when I had planned it, which is when you should be heading down there. It's supposed to be an amazing and fascinating experience, with thousands of colours.
Many on this side of the waters can find it equaly frustrating to talk about liberty with Americans, who always want to call themselves the greatest democracy in the world, yet so often want to be free to do exactly what they want. Democracy isn't the right to decide everything on your own, it's a collective thing, hence why I say that I'm fine with people taking it out to a remote bush if they want to live without any governmental interferance, but stay within society and some rules you should abide by.
You're bringing in all sort of things here, and as much negative as you can about governments. My question remains, when it comes to vaccine, how often is this done by force? You can't honestly be comparing a war such as Vietnam and sending troops there, with the efforts of trying to halt the spread of a virus.
Kissing in a tree. I've never done that. It's been ages since I climed trees, but how hard could it be to get up in one. Must be like riding a bike, you never forget. Now all I need to do is pick what kind of tree. Apple, Elm, Hazelnut, Oak, Lemon.....
Is this the bloke who had a picture with him in what looked like a Ghostbuster outfit? The one asking about a new girl he was interested in almost once a week? Some rockgroup name as moniker, if I remember correct.
See, you're doing that thing again. "I know I am... to most of the more..."..... Drop those bits and it will only help you. No one's called you dull or pathetic. There's no need to invent realities.
Maybe I should say that what triggered this thread was not at all a sad mood, it was one of those "I've tried a month to meet someone and haven't, I give up" threads. I can't relate with that, at all.
I think you might have misread. We're not living in the same city. When we meet, we also have to part, like all couples who don't live together, but in our case it's a greater journey back home.
In my area, you have to pay to park on the streets and it's very expensive. I don't know how many complaints I've heard from people in the neighbourhood about how much it costs. A while ago, this bloke working with parking tickets showed me a spot where you can park for free, where you'll never get a ticket.
It's right there, for everyone to see, but due to a sign which people interpret in the wrong way, no one dares to park there.
I won't tell anyone, because it will spread and then always be taken by someone. It's my secret. How's that dark?
All of us get down from time to time. Sometimes the depth of despair is such a drop, with a pain in your chest as if pikes were stabbing your very soul. A loss of a child, an unbelievable crime on your family, or, a sever depression struck upon some after many years of being maltreated.
Sometimes, though, we get down, allow a slope way to steep and a fall unnecessarily deep, simply out of self-pity mostly. The echoes of the “why?” cause turmoil and confusion after a loved one broke up with you, a trusted friend betrayed you, or a jealous colleague spread a nasty, false rumor about you. Yes, it is unfair, all of it, but most of the sad is due to self-pity, is my take on it.
In any situation or level of misery, the only thing which in the end can turn it around is to pursue happiness. Yes, in some cases it can be important to reach the core of the problem by venturing deep into what’s causing the depression, perhaps through therapy sessions come to grasp and understand what the very problem is, which fuse has been broken. But that is a positive, it’s a pursue of happiness, because you want to deal with the issue, nail it to a wall as a thing of the past and reach a state of confidence and joy again.
I’ve always had an easy way of maintaining a positive approach to life and what awaits when a new dawn arrives. Sure, like everyone else, I’ve had my share of sad moments, but never would I and never will I allow a sad to take control of my life and run it down a negative lane. There will always be that straw to cling on to, the one that you pull yourself back up with. They’re everywhere around me. A night with Sam Cooke blaring out the stereo, a bottle of fine red wine, and me laughing at myself and my old childishness because I’m jumping on the bed like I was a kid again as Sam is singing “Let the good times roll”
There’s this beautiful woman I got to know, who I’ve spent many days with, but she’s living far, with obligations there, and I have mine here. I don’t get to see her as often as I wish I could, with the wish being every morning, every night, and every minute in-between. We part, because at this point we must. I could complain to myself about this, feel miserable about distances and days apart. I could allow a drop in mood and will to find meaning in doing many things whilst she’s not here. And you all know that it’s tough, in a sense almost tougher to not be with someone you love, tougher over someone you’re yet to find. But by God, I’m not letting this get me down. Sam Cooke will always sing me a new song.
How do you stay happy, what things help you wash away misery when it suddenly strikes, with you coming out intoxicated by joy again?
