I have difficulty with things like this, which aren’t really quantifiable.
I’ll say I’ve stepped over the fuzzy line not because I walk around with a permanent smile making everyone sick to their stomachs with sunshine and rainbows, but because I find that I don’t dwell so much on the negative anymore. Even temporarily panic-inducing bad situations aren’t panic-inducing for long, and I find that I am more quickly able to think logically and solve my problems more effectively.

“No amount of travel on the wrong road will bring you to the right destination.”
- Ben Gaye III
Why do I think that negative thinking and accumulation of material goods will somehow lead to contentment and happiness?
I’m travelling the wrong road, and no matter how far I go, I’ll never reach my destination.
So time to get off this road and take a new path that actually does lead to where I want to be.
EDIT: Just saw the quote over there and it speaks to this goal!!
“What we think, we become.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
man, getting some serious sage stuff from 43T today lol~

I’m tired of the mundane.
I’m tired of doing the same thing over and over, day in and day out.
I’m tired of the daily tasks of life.
I’m tired of the things I want being some of the very things I most fear.
I’m tired of the never-ending to-do list. Nothing is every really done, because after you finish something there’s always something else to do. On and on, never ending. When do we get a break? When can we just BE?
I’m tired of the never-ending problems. Every day is filled with problems, whether something little like losing my keys, having dry skin in the winter, or my lotion bottle falling into my cereal, or something big like considering whether to file bankruptcy, wondering what Im going to do when my health insurance ends in April, and having a strained relationship with my parents. On and on, never ending.
I’m tired of societal expectations.
I’m tired of parental expectations.
I’m tired of feeling trapped.
I’m tired of the “real world.”
I’m tired of being told that life is about working hard for 50 years, living in the same place forever, living with the same person forever, and having children that you’re stuck with forever.
I’m tired of not being able to sustain a positive emotional equilibrium.
I’m tired of all the suffering here on Earth.
I’m tired of the way life works on this planet.
I am tired of LIFE, period.
I’m ready for it to be over.
How is life worth all the struggle, all the work, all the boredom, all the physical and emotional pain?
How to eliminate these thoughts and feelings? Only positive thinking, a positive perspective, will do. How do I counter these…

We had a laugh today whilst we were supporting charity at McHappy Day, the kids and I kept giggling about it for the rest of the afternoon! :0)

Though I’d really like to be ridiculously positive, I feel that it’s not going to be my style “any time soon”...

It's HARD...
14 months ago
It’s HARD… It’s HARD… But at times it kinda works…
Couple of weeks ago girlfriend decided to leave me and live on her own again – i.e. it will effectively happen a.s.a. the tenant who lives in her house moves out which may take up to 6 months.
