Mediocre life?

[Angleboy]

I wouldn't say amazing, but at the same time it's not paticularly bad.



Not really. It feels like there is something missing. Feel worried/depressed a fair bit but just can't work out what it is.

Job wise, it's ok, the pay isn't that good but my boss is sound, I can work from home a fair bit and don't have to give much notice if I want to take a day off etc.

Love - i've been with my girlfriend for 3 years in January. One thing that i've noticed lately is that i'm really starting to appreciate her as a person rather than the whole OMG ILU thing that starts off when you first get together. I dunno if thats good or bad after 3 years but hey!

Family - I live with my Dad although we're not that close. I couldn't imagine saying "fancy going to the pub for a pint Dad" which I find quite sad although I do love and respect him. I wish I could see my Mum a bit more often but hopefully when i've passed my test that will happen.

Money - I'm quite proud of the fact that i'm careful with my money. A lot of my mates are in debt and probably always will be. Like I said up there though I could do with earning a bit more at work, but I guess we all want that eh.

Regrets? I regret the constant arguing with my Mum as I quite often feel that I was the reason my parents split up. I regret not putting 100% in at school, because now I don't have any qualifications other than GCSE's. I regret relying on the same circle of friends whilst growing up, so now that they've moved away/lost touch I don't really have that many real friends.

I'm proud of the fact that i'm working and holding down a job. I'm proud that i'm good with my money and can afford to go away a fair bit, and buy myself nice things every so often.

Changes? I want to start making the effort into going out more and just meeting different people. I want to get to a stage where I see one of these threads and think "yes I love my life and I wouldn't change a thing".

My view of my own life is very similar to that, except my parents are still together and im single.

I know exactly what i want, and i think from what you say you might start to realise whats "missing" too.

all i'll say is Cherrish her, cos i wish i had someone i could say i cherished but i dont.

Other than that, im peachy

Oh yeah, and im immortal! (proove me wrong )

Do you have a good life? Are you happy with where you are? job? love? family? money? everything?

So-So, I'm going to uni next year so that will hopefully make me feel more comfortable and give me the direction I need. Not happy with my job at the moment, the agency i'm with is not giving me any work. I had an interview with Zara today who have potentially offerered me weekend work, but I would like more. I have a lovely girlfriend, though I do fear what will happen when we go to different universities.

Do you regret decisions you've made that have led to where you are, and not where you could have been?

I regret not applying for university last year, however it is not something that I will regret come this time next year.

Do you ever think of big changes?

No, this whole I wish I was a millionare stuff is crap. If I get somewhere big, I would like to look back on it and see how I got there, accomplishment.

Just curious..

No, i will know instantly if she is perfect

You won't.

 

[Jez]

What i meant by that is that i will know from the first few moments of talking whether she is potentially right. The girl i am "seeing" at the moment it doesnt feel like this, it never did, and it never will, no amount of work or getting to know her will change it.

Happy with...:
where i am: living close enough but far enough outside of london in a nice area, reasonably close to the beach (brighton)
job: very happy, the opportunities for me are huge, have been asked to start another company (just started my own!) with huge backing from the far east.
money: have plenty of debt atm, but its more than manageble. i am easily on target to own my ferrari by the time i turn 40.
love: i love my wife, she is my best friend. she supports me through everything.
family: would like another child, but if it doesnt happen then it wouldnt be a problem, my boy amazes me every day, we have a great bond.

Do i ever regret anything: for a while after making the decision, be it for doing something or not doing it (1 example would be not buying a property in bulgaria a couple of years ago). the only long term things would be jumping into the pool the way i did a day before my wedding and the other would be letting myself go when i bought my first house.

do i think about making big changes: yes. moving to wales was a big change. moving my family to south east england a year ago was a big change. going contracting is one of the bigger changes that i decided to do very recently. we have already said that should a long term contract come up abroad and i fancy it, we would move to where ever it is.

 

[area51_for_psx]

Do I like my life... The Short answer to that would be no. I am stuck as a civil servant at the moment in a job with no scope to move up in. But I am trying to sort that at the moment as I have started back to college part time.

My love life at the moment should be good as I have a great girl that would do anything for me but I seen unable to get emotionaly involved. This is weird as we have been going with eachother for a year but I think that is to do with me protecting myself as ive been hurt in the past.

My family are sweet and they would do anything for me.

Regrets yes I have a few. Not doing the college thing earlier.

But my biggest regret would be have to be getting up to go to the toliet when I was 15. As if I hadnt I wouldnt be here, That is my biggest regret. If I had stayed in my bed and not got up at oding I wouldnt be here and I wouldnt have had to carry on with this so called life.

Sounds strangely familiar.

I was with Jane for a few months before messing things up mainly through my own immaturity. Two and a half years after we split up and no one coming close to being as special to me as she was we met up for a drink. Luckily she still had feelings for me and the rest is history.

Aww

I still have a lot of feelings for a girl i split up with nearly 3 years ago. I've changed and experienced amazing things that I never would had we stayed together and i'm sure she has too, but no one has ever meant as much to me as she did. I hope I have a story like this to tell one day

 

[Jeffstar]

Do you have a good life? comfortable.

job? secure and i feel apreciated.

love? smothered in it, always had a different girl on the go.

family? Don't spend a lot of time with them but we're always there for each other.

money? Owe nothing, house paid for and plenty stashed for a rainy day.

regrets. Not marrying my true love. Now she's unavailable.

The only thing i really fear is getting old.

 

[Mephisto]

Do you have a good life? Eh it's not bad I guess.

job? Don't have one atm, just living off what I saved up in my gap year.

love? Bad. Never loved anyone in my entire life.

family? Fine.

money? Don't have much atm, but enough to get by.

regrets? Nothing really.

 

[sniffy]

Do you have a good life?

In the grand scheme of things, yes. I could be a starving African boy.

Are you happy with where you are?

Not particularly. Not unhappy, just not happy. Life is what you make it I guess.

job?

No job.

love?

No love, unfortunately.

family?

Could be worse, had a little scuffle (literally) with my Brother this morning though which put me in a foul mood.

money?

Not a penny to my name.

everything?

Meh.

Do you regret decisions you've made that have led to where you are, and not where you could have been?

Not really. Yeah, I could have left school with qualifications but it wasn't realistic at the time. The fact I put no effort in at school is the reason I put so much effort in at college now.

Do you ever think of big changes?

No, perhaps I should...

 

[johnno93]

Right now my life could be better, really not sure what I want to do with myself though and currently work in a minimum wage job behind a bar. Starting to worry that if I don't make decisions about what career I want to go into I could end up drifting between boring lowpaid jobs. Otherwise most things in my life are OK right now, I'm in a little debt but now getting that under control and hoping to have it paid off in a year or 2.

 

[mosehn]

life sucks as you have to keep buying toilet roll

 

[Neoni]

Yes. and. No.

i love my life like a lot of people.

but sometimes when its hard going i think why do i bother with all this education, work? i think its a lot of struggle in the end for something so short.
