How are you feeling?

All I want is to be genuinely happy, for once in my life, is that too much to ask? :sad:
I don't believe in genuine happiness in this realm. I believe that there are moments in our lives that have the ability to make us momentarily less miserable before our hearts steer us towards the next "carrot on a stick" so to speak. Being content in the midst of our circumstances.. I believe that's always possible.

Someone mentioned this photo in my art class.


...a picture really is worth a thousand words.

These days especially, i exist in a constant and meandering state of dissatisfaction. :sad: :thumbdown:

Ps: I wonder if that wee black boy feels dissatisfied with life? i think, if he's were fed a good diet, and he doesn't have SA or some other mental health disorder, then he'd feel okay or even good about his life? :question:

Ps2: I wonder if i'm a "malcontent", or just too negative? (it's always nice to put a name to the disorder/etc)

That'd be great, if being genuinely happy isn't possible. I guess I just wish I didn't constantly have to compromise my own happiness to make sure those around me are content. :sad:

I mean, I can be content amidst my circumstances, doesnae take much too ensure that. Unlike my family who complain about how crap their lives are, and somehow I'm partly to blame for that, but never get given the reason(s) why that is. :idontknow: And they'd rather that my life revolve around them all the time. :crying: Narcissist c*nts! :thumbdown:

Are feeling "beyond words", except that it seems to have sth to do with lack of people/social. Is that loneliness i wonder? :question: (but i watch tv, listen to music, have pets, come on here .. so how can it be???)

Getting sick of hearing my mum bemoan the fact she took my middle sister and her grandchildren (my nieces) in, following my sister's martial breakdown. It's always me who gets it. But as soon as I complain: They think it's a right laugh! :kickingmyself:

And I'm the one who lacks empathy and consideration for others? :confused:
 
Life gets pretty damn boring when you stay at home & hardly ever go abroad (& also hardly ever talk to anybody). That's why i think i drink a fair bit, to handle the boredom (the "boredom blues"). In fact, since i vaguely feel like hitting/smashing stuff, i'll probably play some violent death/doom metal tonight - that'll go down a "treat". That, and hit the hard grog. :thumbup:

At The Gates (At War With Reality) is "kicking some fine as$". That's the type of as$-kicking i wanted!!! :perfect:

Now, after a couple of ATG albums, i'm "f*cked". Oh well, no more hatred & violence then, time for Little River Band! :inlove:

Stressed out to the point of suicide. Which might seem a wee bit dramatic, unless you ever lived with a woman who is a jumped up, high-maintenance bitch. Trust me, ah know... I'm related to 3 of them. I know how stressful it can be. :kickingmyself:

I'm the verge of physical assaulting my middle sister for the way she's been behaving since she got her. Shouting, screaming and slamming door - I see who her oldest daughter learnt that from... :mad:

Not gonna lie, those thoughts have crossed my mind. :bat: Cuz, like our mother, my middle sister is prone to these violent, irrational and terrifying outbursts. Though, at worst, I'll probably drag her, by the scruff o' the neck, out the house to her car when she finally moves out and gets a place of her own.

iv become so jaded over the years that as I get older I have less and less interest in meeting new people/making freinds and even talking to girls...its sucks because I'm only 27..I just have such bad trust issues that have built up that I feel like I'm better off not investing in people .

Iv had so many insincere friendships that I'm at the point now where I feel like Malcom from that scene in Jurassic Park where he says "Boy, do I hate being right all the time"



I need my own polygraph machine or something..lol... because theres no way I'm going to ever again let someone convince me/literally TELL me numerous times that they love me and care about me only to find out over a year later that she was just using me as a "rebound" to get over her ex-boyfriend (she literally said that to me).....Im not just going let someone deceive me just so they can use me for their own personal gain. When someone does that to you it tells you EXACTLY what kind of person they are, regardless of how skilled they are at charm and deception..(When in reality they're cold and selfish.)

..."beauty is only skin deep", as they say.


and if you dont now the type of person I'm talking about, here's an example:

End of relationships are always ugly, try not to give up yet.

There's a lot of *******s out there but there's gotta be good ones too..

Can't even get a moment's peace and quiet. Seem everyone in my family, except me, is allowed to get away and have time to themselves. :sad:

Just got finished writing a paper about gender disparity in the criminal justice system . Before doing research for this paper I didnt realize how bad the inequalities towards men are.

I was actually shocked to find out that "According to a recent study by Sonja Starr, an assistant law professor at the University of Michigan, men on average receive 63 percent longer prison sentences than women who commit comparable crimes"

Supposedly I might seem sexist or misogynistic for even SAYING that but the numbers dont lie. Its hard to be politically correct when the facts are staring you right in the face.

I got humiliated this morning.

I feel better now but I'm still mad, to say the least; I don't deserve that shit, I've had enough indignities.

I thought we had a deal, universe: I don't do anything stupid and you just continue to ignore me, but nooooooooooo... you had to go and remind me who's boss, as if I didn't know, as if it isn't patently obvious.

Well, **** you... now I'm off the hook too.
