Iguanna Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 What I've learnt in life is that you can never be stable; things change. One wise man once told me that life is like a wheel where you have to run around it. Sometimes you are up and sometimes down. There have been times in life that I thought I can't go on anymore and times I looked up in the sky and said "thank you God for letting me live this very moment". Don't look at all bad things that happened as a whole cause this will make you even sadder. Hope for the best and try to fix things. As I use to say, everything happens for a reason and every ending is just a new start. Good luck 3
LaraDane Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 This rollercoaster called life can be so exhausting sometimes, though. I'm the type of person who likes to be comfortable and lazy. I don't really embrace change that well, positive or negative. If I'm good at that moment, where I am, why change? It seems pointless sometimes. And then something comes along to change my mind, either amazing or awful. But I just wished it didn't move so fast because it almost feels wasteful... I can't really enjoy it much. It's just depressing at times. But it's useless to fight it, so just run along and make the best of it.

Keenly Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Yesterday morning I realized my eharmony account was going to expire in 24 hours. I decided to take one last look at it. I had a message from a stunningly beautiful girl on Missouri. I sent her one message that said " look, I'd love to get to know you, but my account expires tonight. Here is my number if you would like to text me. " Well ten minutes later we start talking. Texted all day yesterday and all day today, and have asSkype session in about an hour. So far, we have everything in common. And I mean EVERYTHING. Hobbies, interests, things we do / own, things we want to do / own. We have already discussed being open to an LDR in the future. Now I'm just nervous that she is going to up and disappear, because she seems so unrealistically perfect. So yeah, my life changed over the course of 2 days. 4

SameOldFear Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 If someone had told me six months ago, my ex and I would be where we were at now, I would've never believed them. Not even a little. It was like my worst nightmare coming true. You never think your worst nightmare would happen. I'm ready for 2014 too. It may have hurt like hell, but I learned from my ex that I'm someone who can say they love someone and mean it. I'm someone who can say they won't leave someone and mean it. He's not. Next time, I'll find someone who is. 7
CrJsc88 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Yeah, my ex and I broke up 4 months ago and it's been up and down. She wanted me back, we tried didn't work out. These holidays are tough cuz you see your friends and family with great relationships and you're alone. It's alright though, I'll wait my turn. Have to think positive and live life to the fullest. This year has tested me and I know I can overcome these obstacles. Stay up everyone!
mtnbiker3000 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 This entire year has been really bad for me... Can't wait for it to be over... LOL!! Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. 2014 has got to be better 2
Author ponchsox Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Well I got some good news yesterday, I have a great new job opportunity! Things are looking up for 2014. 2
Mariposa10 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 We still have some time before 2013 is over, so let's cry, scream all we want! 2014 will be our year, guys! I'm really looking forward to it 1
im_thedude Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I'll join in on kissing 2013's sorry ass to the curb. What a train wreck of a year for me, lol. Lots of good, way too much bad. The loss of my relationship stung worse than the multiple funerals, the distancing from friends, and every other crap event though. I hope I find someone new in 2014
tem7074 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I'll join in on happily seeing the back end of 2013. What a waste of a year - no personal growth, just painful mistakes. I hope everyone finds someone new in 2014! Live in the moment (easier said than done, I know).
RespectfullyAlone Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I can't wait for 2013 to be over. Considering my ex left me last New Years Eve this year has pretty much sucked in it's entirety. I have hopes 2014 will be better, but the reality is for all of us suffering, a new year isn't going to help or make any difference. 2
lookingforbalance Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Time (i.e. "New Years") is just an arbitrary marker that we use to record events in our head. Real growth and progress to heal an move on happens from within, no matter what "time" it is. No better "time" than the present to make the changes necessary in our lives 1

amtz Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Thought I was the only person having it rough this holiday season and so eager to end this freakin year! Sure enough 2013 made us and broke us to become rock solid!!! 2014 here we f...n go! XD 1
lookingforbalance Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Gosh, you're right. 2014 will probably suck, too. LadyM, you have the power to change that. Take the opportunity that lies in front of you to make sure 2014 doesn't suck. Only you control your reactions to whatever comes your way. Tomorrow is a new day, there is no way for us to know what it might bring our way. We have to be ready.
Tony T Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 3 months ago I was happy in a relationship and my career was going well. Fast forward three months, my relationship suddenly ended and my company is being bought out leaving my future uncertain. Life is short, please live every day to its fullest and put your trust in God. That's what life is about and I wouldn't have it any other way. If people and jobs were so tightly fastened to me they would never change it would be a very cruel world. It's up to me to be ready to meet the challenges. I don't want anything in my life that not happy to be there or that wasn't meant to be. 1
LadyM Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 LadyM, you have the power to change that. Take the opportunity that lies in front of you to make sure 2014 doesn't suck. Only you control your reactions to whatever comes your way. Tomorrow is a new day, there is no way for us to know what it might bring our way. We have to be ready. I know you're so right. I just feel so stuck. I had been doing so much better, but have, unfortunately, relapsed.
Priv Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I hear you Ponchsocks. In the same situation as you. Lost my job 6 months ago and the woman I thought to grow old with 3 months ago. I remember something my ex said a month before the breakup about her brother and sister in law; there flourishing having moved to a nice house with a brand new car given to them by the sisters parents with a hint of jealousy. A few days later she asked me if I ever had a stable life, she never did... I was talking to my mum about that the other day, both wondering how people get that 'stability'. She said, and I agree, there are just as many people not having any stability the last few years. All I am holding on to, however my life might have suddenly changed for the negative in the last few months, it may change for the positive in the next few. This state of being is not permanent. That, and just trying to get concrete goals instead of general wallowing. In my instance; get a job asap. It would help loads with getting my mind off things and at the very least be 1 less thing to worry about. The rest will sort itself out. 2
