  2. Life is good: I paid off the last of my student loans! I'm officially free! ?

    (I'm kinda thrilled to see this post - we all need some more positivity these days. ?)
     
  3. I am looking at houses to buy on Sunday and there are some really lovely ones with wonderful yards for my dog to romp around in! ?
     
  4. My grandmother and I are really close.

    I have bipolar disorder, and thus am on medication. I'm not really responsible with taking it daily like I should; this results in me occasional going into acute withdrawal. My grandmother texts me every once in a while to make sure I'm keeping up on my meds.

    I also have struggled with an eating disorder, and have been in recovery for about 2.5 years. My grandmother has trouble maintaining a healthy weight because of her various medical conditions, and we're about the same height so our 'healthy weights' are pretty similar. After every doctor's appointment we had over the course of my recovery, we would text each other how much we weighed in at. It was like a mini contest. I just recently reached my recovery goal weight finally!

    I'm not super religious myself, but she is a devout Roman Catholic and tells me she prays for my wellbeing every night. She's supported me in every one of my decisions, even if sometimes they make her worry.

    Yeah. I love her!
     
  5. So--- might start out as super sad but it gets better!

    Im 23 right now.

    12 Years Ago my grandmother died she meant everything to me so I could not handle that. I had to release a urn? idk what its called with her ashes and spread it through a river. I could not bring myself to do this. My mother came and did it for me--Later that night however I wrote a message. That went something like this. Exact copy from 12 yrs ago if it has a spelling error its supposed to be there.

    Dear whoever this reachees,
    My grandmother just died and I feel realy sad right now. She was my wole world. I watched a movie and it says if you send out a bottle with a message the spirit will be peaceful. Im am going to do that so she will be happy. If you see this I hope that u are happy all the time. Call me at (only thing im censoring)*******.

    -Your secret writer



    Thus 2 years ago I was 21 and my mom got contacted cause I was 11 then and no phones then.... ya. My mom gave the person my number and we talked. Apparentally they were going through rough times as well and them seeing my letter brought them great joy and relief. They lost there mother also but they saw my letter and saw that even though she is gone he will remember her. Thus he decided to do the same exact thing and pass along the bottle. The river where I sent it out is a place I go often when I visit my home. My 11 yr old self probably never thought that it will be connected to them later on in life. But it has.

    -Krazy?

    P.S. If any errors sorry :(
     
  6. “You may face many defeats but you must not be defeated”
    I have a post-it nite with this quote in it taped to my mirror that way I start my morning/end my day reminding myself this.
     
  7. id say my favorite place to be is at my granny’s, because for one i wanna spend as much time with her as i can and two my kitty lives there. technically all my life that has always been my favorite place, and ill admit after my papa died a few years ago i don’t go over there as muchbut i still try to whenever i can so i can spend time with her and my cat, just not as much as i wish i could. also i may or may not favor her over my other family members?just whenever im there i feel very happy and at ease
     
  8. Life is Good:

    I was eating warhead dipstick powder and managed to accidentally get some in my wind pipe and blew it in my nose. Yeah it definitely didn't burn and make me feel dead inside.

    ?Some positive things in my life?
    ️Fur baby
    My soft, fluffy, black, fat house cat Fluffy. He is my sweet baby. I have had him since he was a tiny kitten and will be 11 years old this year.
    ️An old friend
    Yesterday out of the blue one of my childhood friends messaged me on Facebook saying they were thinking of me and that she would like to catch up and get together. We talked for several hours and plan to get together in about a week.
    ️My sister
    My younger sister and I used to fight a LOT. The past several months somehow things have changed, though. She has been wanting to spend a lot more time with me. We talk more, play video games, go out for dinner or just go random places together now.

    ?My happy place?
    ️ I am most at peace when I visit the area of Florida I grew up in. No matter how much life throws at me, no matter how much sadness I go through...when I sit on this one area of my favorite beach it’s like I am truly home. When my skin touches the sand, when I smell the salt in air, the birds calling around me and the sound of the waves it brings a sense of complete peace to my entire being. When I am there nothing clouds my mind, I feel no pain or sadness. I feel completely relaxed and free and at one with myself and nature.

  12. Life is Good.

    For years it has felt like my life was in a standstill. I lived at home with my parents, going to university everyday for a degree I didn’t care about, working as a waitress in a place that made me so emotionally drained, didn’t have time to even come on here or see friends.

    In August, I decided no more. I finished my third year of university and decided not to take my degree with honours. I quit my waitressing job and began job hunting for something that would make me happier. I’m proud to say that for the last few months I have been working as a life insurance broker. It’s definitely not people’s ideal career but every day I get to help people sort out protection to help themselves and their families if the worse happens to them.

    It makes me happy to know that I am now helping people. The job has really long hours too but it pays me so much better that I finally have enough money to start my driving lessons and progress with my life. After I complete my lessons, I’m going to move out from my parents place and finally feel like I’m not a kid anymore.

    Life is good because I’m no longer at a standstill or just going through the motions.
     
  13. A couple of favorite quotes:
    “It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.”

    “Not so long ago I was alone and lost, and then you came along and I was home.”( for my wifey Brit)

    I have a great life I met the love of my life sometimes you have to tell ur best friend how you feel because you don’t know what can happen in my case she felt the same way and now I’m the happiest man alive.she is my better half.

    My fur baby son is awesome lol 
     
  14. I like learning languages and watching movies

  16. “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
