Last night my mother brought home one of her extremely troubled students from her school...

It was kind of scary... She was seeking refuge ... It was quite hectic...

It reminded me of myself a bit at that age... All the screaming and shouting at home it was terrible...

The young teenager was crying not wanting to go back to her mother's house... She was too afraid to go home...

There have been chairs and all kinds of things thrown around their house... The principal from the school came over as well...

The mother of the young girl came into my parents house of the child said that she must just go to her social worker because she is tired of all her problems...

I tried to tell her to calm down and take it easy and relax and to try and breathe and that we can try and sort everything out... She just started yelling louder and louder...

Happiness... Is it just all a dream?

Does happiness really exist or is it just a figure of our imagination?

We are all trying so hard in life to find happiness... It's most probably the single most important thing in life...

It felt like I jumped back in time 10 years ago at a young me in a way... Almost like looking into a mirror... my father always used to throw things around the house even if the telephone would ring he would get angry sometimes...

Yelling and shouting it just does nothing... No good... Just more pain and more misery ...

What a sad world we live in

Sorry I am just feeling a bit strange at the moment.

That was heavy last night looking after someone else daughter for a while but it was very comforting to give her the support that she needed. She was very grateful.

She has also attempted suicide recently... There were cuts on her arms... And she told me her step father yelled and said she must do it properly next time....

It's a really ****ed up world sometimes... And you've just got to try and see through all the madness and work hard to find that happiness...


So how is your search for happiness coming along?

I do hope and pray that you are winning the war.

Sometimes everyone tries their best and sometimes it just doesn't feel like it is enough sometimes...

Remember to sometimes take a breather and sit back and relax...

I feel like love is more and more important these days... More important than anything...

It seems like the whole world is going mad...

I think we all need to go back to God.
 
I have to say being happy is something I haven't been in the last few months. I lost my job last year and job hunting hasn't been easy. I have had plenty of opportunities, potential employment offers. But they have fell through or I have declined them.
We are also dealing with some legal issues that have interfere also. Hopefully God willing things will turn around soon

No I am not blocking you ;)

Just struggling to understand this strange life... awesome and ghastly...

All those previous emotions that had never been properly dealt with ... bubbling up and coming up to the surface...

Even when I am on top of the world I don't feel so top :/

I feel I could take over the whole world and still feel ... like not actually being number one...

@dontpanicbobby - yes sorry I turned off messaging I felt like just cutting off everything for a while sometimes I need it.

I think when I turn off messaging I can only receive messages from mods I think.

Sorry not personally anything aimed towards you :)

Talking is great helps out :)

Silence sometimes can be... scary... I don't know if its silence that scares the crap out of me or not knowing...

Give me a sec I will see how to turn on that feature again - my brain is in a frazzle state sometimes.

I am extremely sorry about your wife buddy I am really sorry :(

Thank you for your kindness.
 
Happiness...sometimes it feels like a 4 word letter.. well get there somehow..

 
my friend... happiness...
it seems that everyone is looking for it.. but in the wrong way.. and wrong place..

rich people are looking..
beautiful people are looking..
successful people are looking..
loved people are looking..
no matter what situation.. good or bad.. everyone is still looking..
looking for other things and other people to bring you happiness.

i my humble opinion... most of us.. have what we mostly need to be happy.
but still want that extra.. the thing the others have.. just a little more. " then i can be happy"
it is an every ending chase...

look at yourself.. and the things that you do have.
appreciate what you do have. enjoy what you can enjoy.
and happiness will be there.
 
Happiness isn't a thing. It's a by-product emotion.

You really can't buy happiness. You can't find it by looking for it. You can't make it like you were baking a cake. Happiness just happens in the moment and then it's over.

I do know that trying to find or make happiness will make you unhappy.

I'd fully agree with those words. Happiness isn't a permanent state of mind. Who's happy all the time? Nobody.
 
Oh I don't know about that. I'm happy most all of the time. I accepted myself for who I am years ago. I expect nothing from my fellow man so I'm never disappointed. I don't bother with things that I have no control over. I appreciate all of the good things this life has afforded me. I have very little but I want for nothing.
I'm that happy go lucky guy you meet that you wonder what he's high on. High on this existence my friends.

Happy is a state of mind that doesn't cost anything.

Yes, but it's not a choice, it's the way you're wired.

I too have accepted myself for who I am. Good or bad, I like me (most of the time ;) ) I expect my fellow man to constantly disappoint me and they seem to happily comply. I try not to bother with things I have no control over, but they chase me down and running away from them never does any good. I have a beautiful family and live a very comfortable life. And yet, I'm not a particularly happy person.

You say the glass is half full, the next guy says half empty. At the end of the night I see a whole lot of glasses that aren't going to wash themselves. :)
 
Trouble is, it's difficult to put yourself in a happy state of mind when circumstances don't allow it. And the way people react to things like pressure, stress, and just dealing with plain unreasonable people does vary. If you're lucky enough to let these things not bother you, then that helps a lot.
Just saw Luna's reply, yup it's down to how you're wired. Me, I'm a worrier. I'm sure it'll lead to a premature demise, if I let it.

You are no doubt correct. I have four children that all stress over life in varying degrees. I raised them and not only lived the example but tried my best to sweep away their unnecessary stress and lack of satisfaction/happiness in their lives. I had zero effect on them. Though they never argued my points they could not shake the uneasy feelings, apprehension, and lack of satisfaction.... unhappiness in their lives.

My youngest claims that I live in a rose garden and I'm nurtured by the fertilizer life applies. Interesting view and maybe so.
