I'm exactly the same way. I think mine was a mixture of maturing and the whole VY/Mario debate. I never thought in a million years I would date a Repulican leaning Spurs/Cowboys/Aggies fan. Now if that can't get me back to D&D, I don't know what can!
for once on my life i can say i am HAPPY! i have a great husband! who is the world to me! 2 kids (my dog and cat) an awesome job! (Enrollment Counsler at University of Phoenix, Houston) I am living life and loving it.. Ive learned to be happy you cant stress about the small stuff.. Enjoy the day you have and do you! Dont let other ppl get to you with there stupid and selfish immaturity, just do your own thing! and if Ahman Green comes back next year not injured ill be Ecstatic:!!
Now that I'm happy with myself and I've become more spiritual....everything has seemed to fall in place. I'm a happy man.
Yes, extremely...ah, I mean TRULY. Seriously, in general I'm pretty happy throughout my day. I'd say I was LUCKY, but you know, my preparation crossed paths with an opportunity. Maybe too many cycles of the sun, but damn, being unhappy sure seems like a huge waste of time. There are situations, moments, etc. where I'm not hollering for joy, but learning how to let them go was the biggest lesson/trick. I think a real interesting question would be: Is happiness a choice?
What's funny is that the majority of my knowlege about the Dalail Lama came from that Brad Pitt movie. I've never even read a book about Buddhism. To me, Buddhism is about figuring it out yourself. The answers are out there and are pretty obvious. Most people just let their desires, prejudices and self interest get in the way of trully "getting it".
Behind all those goofy eyed, smiley happy people are a bunch of serial killers on brink of break down. The best you can hope for is the realization that, out of all the possible circumstances a human being can find themselves in on this planet, at this point, you are not doing too bad.
I am happy, but I am driven to do more. I have taken the last 2 years off after selling my last company but found that time lacking so am starting a new one with bigger plans. It may crash and burn or do very well, but the ride is the key....the start, the build up, the middle and hopefully the sale. That is what gets me jacked.....and it is during that time that I am truly happy. Being semi retired - though somewhat fun - is boring as hell, and it makes me post too damned much. DD
I am going to contact him at the appropriate time and see what his skill set is..... He clearly is passionate about games. DD
i'm not sure what he could provide, but he could possibly be a great asset. he's definitely the most informed/passionate gamer on this board.
I am. After battling depression a few years back I've learned to embrace my good days and put bad the ones behind me. Great thread.
Let's see, I'm a full-time student taking classes I am passionate about, I have an awesome boyfriend to spend my weekends with (and he has a roommate who's pretty fun to hang out with too), I have great friends, a great family, I'm working out more which naturally makes me happy, I've gotten to the point where I get excited when my team wins but don't feel like it's the end of the world when they lose... things have just been clicking lately. I'm happy.
Much better once I realized last year that 3 months of lexipro followed by a good exercise program can really kick the winter blues. Man those winter blues used to get me down.
