Need a shaving (is it full moon again?). Need to delete some old photos from my disk. Need to move. Need to found a punk rawk band. Need to finally grow the shit up. So, no.

I need to sling some praises in your direction Trep. Seriously, your responses in this thread have helped me understand a lot of things in greater depth. Obviously, you are wise beyond your years. Your comment about doing something good for yourself every day is a very good point indeed. One in which I will strive to stick too. I'm positive that I'll be purchasing a copy of your book once its published. Anyway, just giving credit where credit is due. I really don't know what this forum would do without you... and that goes for a lot of others here too.

Thanks for the replies. This has been going on for quite a while, but I had to let it out, somehow. The melancholy comes and goes, and some days are really nice and others not so nice. I do tend to take those little walks and have my fair share of impulse purchases these days.
Ahhhh, women.

Happy
*Shrugs* Not really/Sometimes/Who knows (Delete as appropriate) But you know I can't really complain. This year has been a pretty good year so far. Moved house/got promoted/going to Florida so I should be ecstatic. I make a decent living so can't complain financially. But just feel something is missing, but can't quite put finger on it. A lot of stress from the new job and wondering if I was better off with less money and less stress doesn't help.

Yes, I'm happy... when I'm not at the office. Life in general is difficult but that's nothing new so I don't complain

I think I'm happy. Or at least I'm happier than ever before
I have love and I have good health. I have some money problems, but that's secondary.

Well i've bin happy for quite a while now! I have a wicked family who put a smile on my face! I get along with my parents better now then i did in my childhood days! I don't know why, i never use to confide in my parents before but now im getting more confident in doing so!
I'm also happy because i've bin in a long term relationship with my boyfriend for 2yrs 8months! Which is pretty short for me! I love him to bits! I 'm really happy with him and i don't want things to change! We have just got back from holiday! As you all know and my family are wicked, scrugates is amazing his family is amazing and im really happy! Yeah i have had my bad moments but i think if i become more confident then everything would be better! But yeah at this point in my life i'am really happy! You guys are awesome to talk to too! I didnt think i would fit in here but it has been fun

I agree with Trep and others - age doesn't really matter in a relationship - the most important thing is that you are able to bond both emotionally and physically with your partner
My last 5 girlfriends have all been at least 8 years younger than me and we had no trouble communicating - maybe they only worked because I'm a kid at heart? I have been on a bit of a downer since I split up with my last girlfriend - we had been together for 6 years, which is a long time for me - and I thought she was my soul mate. It's pretty hard to see her out with someone else, and this happens quite a lot because we have the same group of friends, but I still live in hope that there is someone else out there waiting for me |

I voted "I don't know", because I should be happy, but mostly I'm very stressed lately. My wedding is in October and my sister (I'm a part of her wedding) is getting married in September. So there are two events not very far apart to organize and endlessly worry about, to get screwed over by the bridal industrial complex over, and to miss the forest for the trees over.
Also, I love my fiance and his family but they can be soo overwhelming and it's hard living on the east coast surrounded by all of them, since I miss my family and friends so much. I really should be focusing on the good things like our honeymoon in Hawaii, but when I do that I start to worry about all my work deadlines that I have to finish up before my wedding...ack! Oh well, I really shouldn't be whining because life is really very good for me right now, so maybe I'll just take a little step back and try to appreciate the beautiful forest around me. |

Yep, I'm happy.
Good enough job, money, great vacations, fond memories, an incredible amount of things to do...

I'm sure you are overwhelmed with all the wedding preparations X2, but that will soon be over and after the honeymoon, you will be settling in for real. Take the time to get to know Boston with all of its history and Cambridge for all its kookiness, and you will get out of it much more than you put into it. The two together have a great deal of character to appreciate, more so than many big cities. Best of luck for your upcoming wedding plans. Lynsie

And while there are moments when I feel like an alien here (like walking home from a Red Sox game amidst a sea of die-hard fans), there are other more quiet moments, like when I'm walking along the Charles in the twilight slanting through the trees lining Memorial Drive that I feel at peace, and think that maybe I can someday call this place home. And Boston is a total jewel of a city, that I definitely have to get to more often (it's a sin really that I don't go more than I do, since it's so close). I may not have been super happy when I posted my original post here, but I'm definitely happier now. Thanks for the kind words Lynsie, and thanks to the AG web site. *steps out of sappy shoes now* |
