A lifetime of experiences and learning.

My life is about learning, counting is next on my list.

I like your answer William James Woodward

You're certainly never going to get to the point where you can see the glass as being "half full". Too bad nobody's invented an Optimism Pill yet.

would it be great shock to tell you that i was till recently one of the most optimistic ppl ever . there was this quotation that i live by , rational ppl try to change themselves to better fit their world , irrational ppl try to change the world to fit themselves that is why every change it the world happen by irrational ppl "
i won't go environmental on you though basically we screwed earth balance so much . it may be beyond repair , which is nice since 9 out of 10 of end of world senarios happen cause of natural disaster .
I won't go political on you though my country is so missed up that I can't see happy endings ,
won't even go far as saying that I just got out of 9 years relation for reasons that i don't know , or that i lost my job & was diagnosed to have heart defect on the age of 28 all in the same amazing month .
for the past year & half we fought constantly in our country for it to reach freedom . I accepted death manytimes & for the first time that you expect to die & don't you feel amazing , like you cheated death , but in time it takes it tow on you , each time i accepted that today was the day i was gonna die I actually died a little & it has been manytimes that i'm not sure i'm alive anymore
nothing excites me , i'm not looking forward anything or even having the will to fight for anything .
I keep trying new things hoping that i'd reach that point when something actually matters
I started refering to humans as they , like we r in two different teams , there are humans & there is me .

To live is to fight !

I hope for you that one day the sun will shine for you again and that  you have an wonderful future.

Guardian,

It's truly sad when a person becomes so beaten down, be it by their nation, economic status, circumtances or whatever. I truly feel for you.

Life is not always fair, that's for sure. Sometimes it may even be downright unjust. However as I said before our happiness is in our own hands. Life is like a car, you get behind the wheel and you drive it, you control the direction it goes in. So you're at a fork in the road and the signs point one way to happiness & success or in the other direction sadness & failure. Still it is you who must decide which direction you will go in. The car doesn't do that by itself. Life is not like a wave that just sweeps you in whichever direction it wants to, no matter what you may think.

Don't give up the fight my friend. NEVER!!! The goal, if you can reach it is sweet. The end result should you just give up has a very bitter taste indeed. No matter how hard the fight, no matter how difficult it may be to reach your goal, or even if you don't get all the way there you are going to move down that road to some point. That point, wherever it may be, will certainly be better than where you are right now.

Best wishes, God bless you with lots of strength to carry on.

I refuse to describe something as vast as my life by such limited parameters.  Is that 6 words?

Life is like a box of chocolates.  You are guaranteed to get sticky fingers from time to time.

Sorry your words make sense but your sarcasm don't.

No need to be sorry.  That wasn't sarcasm.

William , I didn't give up , i'm trying to find happiness & working my ass off doing it , but I jst can't feel it ,
a friend of mine is a shrink , at one point I was depressed & she told me to go out do things & I said " I don't feel like doing anything " she replied {" DO IT ANYWAY "
& I'm doing things but I'm not enjoying it , or feeling anything
not true sometimes i get really angry . as i said i keep doing new things hoping to get that spark back , that will to live & not jst exist

"Do it anyway" should replace "just do it".

Good to see you found your way back to the living.
It will get better if you open up and let fresh air in.

Describe my life in six words?
I need only four:
"Things worked out fine."
Or three:
"I was lucky!"
(And to add another five: "I think this will continue.")

Another old favourite (five words):
"I did it my way!"

how am i supposed to describe 25 years just using 6 words??
that would be unfair!
i had very agreable days , and very terrific days too
i experienced  loss of dear ones, pain and grief, but i learned so many things
nevertheless i knew love , had wonderful friends , people that i may count on

so , to sum up , life is full of ups and downs but whatsoever happens : LIFE GOES ON
