Gunny376 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I was initially going to respond to Record Producer's current thread ~ but what I have to say is relative to so many members of this forum. First of all what your currently going through is all relative. There's no need to compare your life, your pain, your experiences, your standing in life etc. to that of others ~ because its all relative. There's always going to be someone who's got it better in life than you and there's always going to be some one's who has it worse than you do. There's always going to be someone who's smarter than you and someone who's not smarter than you. There's always going to be someone who's better looking than you and of course those that aren't. Right here and right now ~ somewhere in the World? There's someone whose having absolutely the worse day of their lives? It could be that their spouse just walked out on them taking the children with them? Or it could be like the parents I just saw on TV that lost their three children ~ all under the age of five in a car accident? The end of a marriage isn't and doesn't mean the end of your marriage. Life comes at you hard and fast ~ and over the course of your life ~ Life itself is going to throw you some curve balls? You've got to learn how to walk through the pain ~ walk through the fire? Have the courage to walk through the "Healing Fire" and embrace the courage to learn how to walk, talk, and breath "Life" again. You cannot allow whatever it is that your going through to consume you, and you cannot just lay down and let it roll over you. Your friends and family will in their efforts to comfort you tell you, "Time heals all wounds!" or " Things happen for a reason!" That's BS! Its what you do with the time that you've been blessed with, given, and have remaining AND and the more important WHAT YOU DO WITH IT THAT MATTERS. The fact of the matter is that sometimes ~ oftentimes in Life you just have to go back to the basics and fundementals of living your Life ~ you have to learn how to walk, talk all over again. You just have to re-learn how to move through life. But first you have to "reingage" yourself with AND in your own personal life before you can reingage yourself with Life itself.
HopelessinDTW Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 this is a great post. Looking at my situation post separation...I still have my kids, I'm physically healthier than ever, I still have my job, my family, more friends than before, a roof over my head, a car to drive around, food on the table. The only thing I don't have is a marriage or a "family unit" as we are all programmed to have. So I guess if you look at it as a whole, I'm not doing to bad! I think many of us are in the same boat...we have to look at all the things we still have, and realize what we have lost is a small part of a total. In many ways I have become a better father to my kids, and have time to take care of myself. I hope that all of us who are going through these rough times of transition, to look at all that we have not think so much about what we have lost! Thanks Gunny for your post!!
shayan Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 three days ago I found out my first love has a new boyfriend, yesterday I tore my lateral collateral ligament, Today I got rejected by a girl I liked over an email. How do I feel, wonderful and inspired and ready to do great things. Because I can't say this enough times... it's not what happens it's how you happen back!

iheartboobs Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Someone in this world smarter than me? Maybe. Someone in this world better looking than me? Gunny, you crazy! You know, man, your post are always hit or miss with me... every now and then they're depressing, and when they're depressing, they're depressing as hell... but most of the time they're quite inspiring, and when they're inspiring, they are real. ****ing. Inspiring. This is one of the latter, so thanks.
