How is you'r life..?
I have finaly found wat i want to do with my life but money restricts me from doing it
I was in the shit about a year ago... i am so much more happier now.
All i can say is that there are ups and downs. There will be times when we are happy and times when we are sad..
The only thing to remember is when you are sad, remember happiness is not too far away, and when you happy, remember that it wont last for ever so treasure every moment of it.
I'm usually not very active on this forum but this thread really stood out of the rest.
First of all, let me congratulate you Mona for bringing this up. Just by mentioning this thing you might help other people think twice about the way they want to spend their life.
Secondly, I must agree with those who say that university admission is hell on Earth. This yeas was the most difficult for me with sleepless nights (no, not because of parties, I had to study) and lots of exams to take. The high-school graduation exam is made up of 6 exams here, the the university admission out of another 2 for each university I apply to. I will take the exam for 2 information technology universities and I know this is extremely difficult but I've come to the conclusion that I have to respect my health and nerves more than a set of exams.
I think we should really make this a sticky because everyone has his/her story and we could all learn from each other.
Excellent opportunity to write a post of gargantuan size, but I'll resist x)
It's all relative, but whenever I can I try to compare my current situation to that of say, a year ago. Not a lot has changed, I had the same friends, same interests, (generally) did the same things, worked 8 (9) hours / day, etc etc... But I also had the same base expenses (rent, bills), and far from the same income.
Having paid those (excluding food), I had like €100 left to live on for the rest of the month and mostly had to borrow money from my parents. I didn't mind the shitty food (pasta, bread, pasta, bread) much but everything else was just so mentally rough, I could rant on about all the bad stuff deriving pretty much directly from not having any money... Horrible mood, constant very, very dark thoughts (made me hella creative though, still intend to use some of the shit I managed to scribble down), sick a lot (mostly headaches, still not rid of that) and even more away from work because some entire weeks I was just so down I simply couldn't drag myself out for nine hours for the same income as unemployed people (here in Sweden), and as I am very clear about my own morals it sure didn't exactly help to have to call in and lie...
Compare that shit to now, the only difference really being about €700 instead of €100, I have trouble agreeing with the term "money can't buy happiness". No, it can't, but the lack of money sure can set some damn heavy barriers. Friends are free but not many things you may want to do together are (unlike when playing in the snow was good enough to spend several hours on :[) Not everything is smooth sailing now either but I'm sure as hell motivated enough to go to work so that I can at least do many of the things I want in the evening and weekend, and keep past experiences a bad memory.

No question about it.
Then there is the time issue!
Waking up one day realizing all the things that really matters have passed and been put aside during the days u thought u had it all!
All of a sudden you have nothing but work left.
Having no time for real life sux badass!
People need u fo sho but the people that U really need has left, tired of waiting and being stood up.
Upside is that I've realized the problem and r trying to set whats left of things straight. Quit the job and are working on my flaws, downside... still have bills to pay... Living on savings doesnt really lats that long
Found a new job but are slowly being sucked up in the old circus again...
This time with an occasional weekday hangover, unshaved and this far whithout the tie but allways with a smile though
Being stupid aint easy!
My goal is Carpe Diem!
Yup my friend... Cruel capitalism and profit... I had health warning in year 2001... Body show signals when we don't treat it well... I was on all possible doctors examinations and find allergies ... I conclude that was result of stress and change my psychological stand... Soon allergies vanish...
What is the point ? Point is that all problems come from our head... We are our own butchers and we are only ones which torch ourself.... So, solution is in our own brains.
nice topic which i totally missed..
Life for me is like has been like a roller coaster ride until now. Personally I have been to the top and fallen to rock bottom. I have seen some crazy things in my short 26 years of life. Things have settled down for me now and Im trying to enjoy life/respect others and have a positive attitude.
Thanks Mona, and others its nice for you to share your feelings with each other.

very wise point from Rena. Its not true for everyone, but for me I can relate to that very much. If you tell yourself negative things, think negative thoughts/paranoia, then you eventually become what you tell yourself. Its a very vicious place to be. Its important to be close to loved ones and never push them away when you are in a bad place in life. Keep a positive mind and dont let your demons get to you. Our brains can drive us to insanity and on the other hand they can drive us to happiness..
Life is short, so make it a good life

Exactly.
All what i want to say you did say Kai Tracid in his most emotional song Life is too short.
Lyrics:
Life is too short, don't stress everyday
Leave your worries behind go out and play (<-- !!!)
Life is too short, grasp it in your hand
A natural miracle, have fun while you can
Life is too short, as precious as gold
It's full of surprise, so I am told
Life is too short take it from me
Have as much fun as you wish, just wait and see
Life is too short, people seem to forget
That life is a gift and its free yes that's it
Life is too short, use your own eyes
Open yourself and enjoy your own life
Song with clip - fantastic btw..:

And dont forget - ENJOY YOUR LIFE!!!
Hmm my life right now is like when a rose is just aboute to blossom. I've found a girl i always wanted. I feel it inside that she is someone special. Nothing that i have experienced before in earlier relationships. I think im in love. If love is when you think of a person 24/7 drawing pictures of her and everytime i see her smile it almost make me wanna cry because i feel so happy, if so i've been blessed with fortune. And i feel privileged that i ever have such a luck to meet the woman in my life.
There was a time when everything felt miserable. Within the family i often was labeled as the "black sheep" of that cause i went into a depression. I wanted to be alone. I didint have someone to rely on. I usally dont let ppl in, but other have easy to let me in to them with their problems, so i learned from it. Im good at that now. Many share their bad experince and i try to understand and put me into their situation. That helped them and me at the same time. But sometimes i just couldnt handle it and started to do stupid things.
By a incedent i become mean. An eye for an eye, Never forgive never forget. Men are evil. Well that kind of mentality i felt like i had. I acted by the illiusion of being cool, but i never was. An illusion of being strong but infact i was weak... So one day thanks from both mates from internet and friends in real life, i give the good side of me a chance. People i have hard to speak with turn out to be really nice. And i approched new folks as who i truly am instead of playing a role as the cool, mean killer machine. For that i get many new good lifetime friends. So thats how the life is turning out to be, at the moment. I give everyone 3 chances, and do not prejudge until i have full confidence to the new individual i just get to known. In addition i have easier to forgive. And have indulgence for people that been treaten bad. All of them.
My life is like a rose, it have thorns i can get stung on but if i learn to work them out i finally see the very beauty of life. Thats my purpose of life for now i think To grow into a red rose of life with lööve
But im very aware of the backsides of life too...
