How did you find what makes you happy? Are you still looking?

And get told that I'm an attention seeker? Don't think so somehow.

Just trust me, love hurts a lot. Makes you do stupid things.

Let me just say if it wasn't for my ex's mum i wouldnt exactly be alive.
Is it possible to love someone more than life? :(
 
Hello,

Happiness is a funny old thing.

Our search for happiness may be the acutal thing to make us happy.

Some might be happy being miserable.

There's a guy on the TV at the moment that has HIV turned AIDS and he is going to die from it. Makes work relocation or a lost love seem irrelevant.

Look at what you got. Look at what you can achieve.

The human body, our minds, our goals are always underacheived.

Tomorrow is another day.

Thanks dude.

I think it's mostly just a phase, but I really need to have a think about what I like to do. I'm just waiting around for the removal company at the moment, checking my work e-mails. I need to try and maintain that balance between not being phased by things, but being phased enough to actually achieve things.

Maybe that's the problem - the balance between being stressed out and not giving a proverbial (about work / whatever). If you worry too much, things get done, but it's unpleasant. If you don't care, at least you're not stressed, but things don't get done and people get let down.

Yes, i would say it is.
Ive only lost a friend that i loved and fancyed and it feels like apart of me has died :(
(no shes not dead)
If we were in a situation were we were both in trouble i would put everything on the line just to make sure she stays alive. Even if that means i didnt make it.

Very true also.

Sometimes it's all too easy to get wrapped up in something in your life that really isn't important. It just seems like it is.

everyone loves someone or something more than life
its why love is such an amazing and confusing thing
how can something so wonderful be (at times) so painful and so self-harming?
its a mystery, and i guess i don't want to know the answer, i'm happy in my little oblivion :)
 
Yesterday I went to the pub and bumped into my ex, she sat near me and was quite irritating all evening, as soon as I moved away and sat with another girl I felt immediately better but when I returned from the loo my ex had only gone over to the girl I was talking to and said that I'd be bugging her all night. Made a fool of her and called her bluff today though.

That makes me happy.

I think you're exactly right there. I'm probably one of the most laid back people you'd ever meet, probably too laid back at times as the things that don't bother me (like my boss on my back) often don't drive me to do things the way they should. There has to be a balance in there, something I myself am still trying to find. As someone else here said, maybe it's trying to find that balance, to find happiness, is what makes us happy :)
 
For me unhappiness comes from either dwelling too much on the past or dreaming too much about the future. It is only when I focus on the present that I feel truly content.

I believe it all comes down to having unfulfilled wants. You see for me, dwelling on the past is a want, because I yearn to re-live memories that cannot be re-lived, and to dream is a want, because my imagination runs wild, painting a very idealised and romantic picture that can never really be achieved to such perfection. The knowing that these thoughts are either rooted in the past or future, and are therefore either not possible to live at all, or only very far in the future (though, isnt it funny how "the future" keeps moving forward?), is ultimately what makes me unhappy.

Its only when I pull myself out of a state of being in the past or in the future and count my blessings of the present that I feel happy, because I have no wants or desires, I'm simply living the moment.

Can anyone else relate to this or is it just me? :)

I can totally relate to it! its sooo true :)
 
How did you find what makes you happy? Are you still looking?

I found what made me happy through chance when i was young. And that was playing football.
Im now looking for something else as i cant play football again. :(.
The search has begun...
 
Yes, I'm pretty happy at the moment. Reasons:

I realised I didn't really like music like Dillinger Escape plan and Botch as much as I thought I did, and had been listening to less and less Hendrix, pink floyd and upbeat music. Changed my playlist and I'm much happier. Changes your mood a lot.

Got back on good terms with a girl mate. For some reason I'd started hating her :P No idea why.

Doing well in school (6A*, 4A's, 1B in GCSE mocks without revising). Top mark in coursework for music in the year and I've never done theory lessons ^_^ :D:D:D So this should boost my B(music) up to an A at least. And should get around 7A*s if I try hard(although this may not happen ;) )

Coursework is all finished.

Shoulder is better(un-rugby-able though), knees are better (rugby raped them..)

Got back into football as a result of the rugby stuff.

Generally having fun with friends.


Umm..

Had a great day in Cambridge on Saturday, seeing if I liked the look of it. Seriously, I recommend just walking around there on your own. It's an amazing place and very relaxing on a nice day in one of the many parks.


I've not done much at all, just feeling really upbeat recently :D
