How is your life going?

[Gothic Sponge]

Poll question: How is your life going?

1. My life is

one that has ups and downs, changing from day to day. There are times of great elation, times of despair. But the important thing is to always remember that Truth will always shine through.

4. My life sucks.

I am stuck living in a shitty part of the country. I doubt I will ever have the financial wherewithal to get out. Therefore my life's ambition has been reduced to respirating until I keel over.

The end.

It might be that the red state you live in _needs_ you. Your heart and mind (and warrior spirit) make you a rarity. :hug:

5. I'm trying to stop living a life of regrets

and focus on the now. This feeling of being alone is hard to overcome.

7. You'll love this quote.

From "The Sportswriter" by Richard Ford:

". . . you must sooner or later face the possibility of terrible, searing regret. Though you must also manage to avoid it or your life will be ruined . . . I believe I have done these two things. Faced down regret. Avoided ruin. And I am still here to tell about it."

10. I do love that quote.

Thank you Heidi! :)

6. I can't lie, things are hard for me right now.

But I really appreciate the support I have received from this website.

8. I know, BlueIris.

I've been there. But I believe that life is cyclical, and more like a circle than a long, desolate line drawn out to some distant, grim horizon. If things are hard now, that means better times are coming.

12. It's going good, I can't complain.

I am unemployed and have to start looking for a job starting Monday after having taken 3 full months off. $5 in my bank account. But, the rent's not due to the 15th, my tickets to the DC rally are already paid for, and I guess I'm just naturally optimistic.

13. while there are days that are better than others...

on the whole, i would say my life is great, and i would never trade it. :)

14. My feet are firmly placed in the...

this shit sucks camp.

I need a ton of dental work that my broke ass can't afford. At least I can get these fuckers yanked for free when it hurts really bad. |_||__|__| <-- my new mouth.

Jesus.. I just used ascii to describe my future mouth... shoot me now.

15. Busy, stressful sometimes, but...
