Life aint so bad people!

[Seedy]

I know alot of you have been having some hard times recently. I'm not gonna name y'all incase I forget some.

Just remember, life has it's ups and downs. I know when everything turns to shit it's easy to forget about the good times but they will be back! If you're feeling like shit don't dwell on it. Remember, probably about half the people on this planet have it worse off than you.

Hang out with people you love. Take in some nature and bug out on existance. It's a pretty fucking amazing planet we live on.

Fuck the other half of the planet-they're not my problem.


What's the old maxim? Oh yes,life is hard-then you die.

All we can do is keep going and try and do the right thing.

Dorje used to describe himself as,"just a poor sinner hoping for the best".It's such a great line I use it myself.

I miss Dorje.

Life ain't so bad, its our attitudes that make it good or bad. I knowits an old cliche but "there is always someone worse off than you. So Enjoy the good times and push through the bad.

You're totally right,but someone else ain't my problem.I'm struggling to make it as it is.

Someone else's "superior" misery doesn't make me any happier.

At the end of the day,we only have one shot at life,so best enjoy it-as best we can.

Thanks for that Seedy! I've been having a couple of rough days. I actually took a walk yesterday (we live out in the boonies) with my younger son and we were just digging the trees and the animals and the fresh air. It felt great!

Today I was getting all depressed about my medical situation because I live with my parents who are both medically fragile, and my two kids, and it's very likely that they will get my staph infection. We all have to use this special soap for three months, and I have to put medicine up my nose for three months and keep getting blood tests to monitor the staph. I'm just worried sick about my loved ones getting this shit. And the nerve endings in my lip (where I had surgery, the initial site of the infection) are growing back and my lip hurts like hell. But then I started thinking about my other opiophile friends, Heidi and Flip specifically, and how much worse it could be. That gave me strength to stop my fucking pity party.

Anyway, I appreciate the post! :)

^^ Nice.

When I'm feeling low a walk around my town cheers me up big time. I'm lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I'll post some pics soon!

this thread is cool because it is so totally in contrast to so many other active threads recently. It seems like alot of peeps are really feeling down and out. I love the fact that we can come here and bitch and whine when we need to. Life really is FUCKING AMAZING when you are actually living it. It seems like when I try to avoid living my life is when it is most difficult. I am trying real hard to spread my positive demeanor tonight. Thanks Seedy for helping to keep peeps heads up.

[Seedy]

All good, man. I've been on the up for the last few days (about fucking time!). Hope life stays like this for a while and I hope you all catch my beams of posativity!

[satori]

In response to your title..... Your wrong. JUUUST kidding your a good person :).

[HandMeSomeOpiates]

Seedy you must be on some great opies haha j/k man you're right life ain't as bad as we make it out to be. Although it can be a BITCH.;)

[Nostromos]

hey fellow opie luvvas. i'm glad someone posted this, it's good advice that's hard to implement, to say the least.

of course there are those far worse off than me. i think i'm ugly? what about the kid who went to my high school who's almost bald already? and he probably gets laid a lot more than i do. i get dreadfully depressed and I'm trying to pull myself out of it-- using a new belief in the power to transform a whole spectrum of self-reinforcing negative thoughts that have got their claws into me. They dig in so deep sometimes that all I care about is driving back home after work and snuggling underneath the covers. These days I tend to go to sleep and stay asleep for a stupid amount of time, like from when I get home 'till when I get up for work. I hope it's because of my going off Paxil and Wellbutrin; not cold turkey though, that would be disastrous.

But it made me happy to just sit down with my mug of Kratom and decide to relax and then go to bed. There's so much I need to do-- drawing, music, films-- and I keep not doing it.

Percocets have been what's on tap lately, though abstained last weekend. I like to party on the weekend with any controlled substance I can get my hands on, specifically prescription uppers and downers, "pills". Still haven't planted my poppy plants. Just a jar of raw opium and I'm good. "Medicine for life", someone said. Yeah, 'cause although all my depression may be my own fault, don't begrudge my need to enjoy something every once in a while. It's junk for living, not the other way around.

I told myself a long time ago that the risk of an ugly addiction is worth the help it may give me in hauling myself out of this deep, slime-and-vine-covered cataract; out of this prison where i've no energy for the leaps one requires in order to wrestle some kind of triumph from the daemon Life.

What a great thread to see. I'm relatively happy. I'm doing pretty well financially. I am on great terms with my opiate use right now and have been for the last 8 months or so.
Sex life isn't all that hot and I'll be working seven days a week for two more months and Im rooming with a terribly racist hick who loves to talk baseball and tell how ni&*ers can't swim and blah blah blah.

My point is that things are great but I still love to comment on the shit that surrounds any and all situations no matter how great they are. It comes off as bitching but it's all about the hilarity of it all.
He's has been watching the girls gone wild commercial that airs all night for the last half an hour.
THANK GOD I have this place to hold my attention.

Love you all.

You know what really pisses me off these days? I'm gonna share it before I fkin explode.
It's the relentless obscene displays of other people's hideous levels of affluence - in the papers, magazines, on the TV... hell, even on the sodding radio.
Footballers being paid £150,000 per fricking WEEK to kick a bastard leather bladder around a field - as if that was of any fucking use to mankind... TV presenters signing up to £20m contracts over three years to just stand in front of a fucking camera and yak... David Bleeding Beckham and Victoria fucking Spice with their TAG Heueur watches and Bentley Continentals.... it makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.
Yet I want to pay my bills and feed my four kids and disabled wife through honest graft, and can I do it?
Can I fuck.

It's a sick, sick global society.

And society wonders why some turn to drugs. It doesn't take fucking rocket science to work that one out, does it?

[Seedy]

It's sure sad in a way how human society has turned out - centered around and ran by money and greed. Could start a big depressing rant here but maybe I'll leave it for another time and thread. ;)
