Life: Nobody said it would be easy. Nobody said it would be this hard

[LazySmoking420]

Hey peeps, How is it? Havent been here in a while thought I'd stop by. Just wondering how some of you guys are doing playing the game of life? I'm hanging in there.. just trying to shake off this depression that's following me around other than that just kickin', surviving. Struggling like every other living and breathing person. Had to take a break from the herb. The world is a cold place, It will eat you if you let it. Gotta take the punches and fight for your right to party...lol

It's funny we're so peaceful as childern, Never thought when we aged that the bright day would be fulled with so much pain and suffering. But that's just life... You gotta make that money. Put food on the table, gas in your car.

My parents are aging day by day.. My father is growing older and grayer...i'm afraid he might leave this earth working everyday of his life never really ever being free.

Family is all you got in this world! No one will love you more than family. Respect your parents...even if they dont respect themselves. Love them man. Dont run away... stay in close contact.

That's all I really have to say. So tell me something good/bad in your life.

I know what you mean about watching your parents age. It's scary. They are all I've got.

I'm having an identity crisis and recent deep depression too. Hate my major in school, but can't just quit. Can't decide who my friends are and who uses me and who'd rather not be around me. I feel a lot of shit gets talked about me behind my back. I could go on all day but who the hell wants to hear people complain?

On the other hand, I got a free roof over my head. My parents love me. I'm in school. Got my motorcycle up and running, and a car. And my chameleon is recovering from his hunger strike. I still got it better than 95% of the rest of the world. This all helps to keep a somewhat positive attitude for the most part.

yeah, seeing my dad with grey hair after not seeing him for like 2 weeks kinda shook me a bit. now that him and my mom arent together anymore its weird. i try to do stuff with him but its hard when hes working or drinking and i dont have my license yet. my moms hanging in there, i recently broke up with my g/f of 9 months but im fine about that. i havent smoked up in about a month and a half but im cravin a puff bad just to ease my mind and help me sleep.
having best friends start going out with another friend is weird too, because he used to be one to be involved in everything and now hes just always sittin away with her. kinda hard to get used to. i just need a job and my license and ill be back to normal again soon. im actually missing school already too.

coldplay fan, huh?
if you're depressed and in a funk, the #1 way to get out of it is to change something. anything. change is good. whenever i feel depressed, it's when i feel my life is stagnating and there's not enough excitement.

HEY lazysmoking! For some inexplicable reason I remember that I enjoy your posts....this one included...

Hmmm..what's good or bad in my life..well, it seems I'm at a crossroads as far as my future. As for which road I take, I still haven't the slightest....but the possibility of both give me hope.

I don't necessarily have any particular goals as of now other than finishing college (I'm currently a jr. studying graphic arts)...but I mean, the potential of my future is what gets me out of bed everyday so to speak. Not knowing what's gonna happen next gives me purpose I suppose. :wtf:

The only actualy "thing" I consider bad in my life is the total lack of communication with my dad...It really hurts sometimes ya know. After awhile it's hard to ignore things...

AWESOME thread...a total change-up I LOVE it. :jointsmile:

Wait til it's YOU turning gray! Now THAT'S scary! Granny:hippy:(who will be 60 the end of this month!)

[Jim M]

take care of em while ya still got em, ya never know when they might be gone...

[Pipe Dreams]

Yeah man, life can indeed be a bitch. Im still waiting on fucking MEPS to get done with my medical papers so I can get into the Army, I just quit my second job, so Im not making nearly as much money anymore. Well, only bout 350 less, I guess thats not that bad, but its 350 bucks I dont have.. Really though, other that those two little snags, my life is going pretty good lately. For once it seems, Im the one watching at other people get their shit fucked. In the past few months, Ive had 2 friends and a girlfriend get busted for posession/of paraphanilia, and both of those two friends have both gotten in car crashes. My shit is going pretty damn good lately, but I seem to be having problems controlling my bipolar disorder. I started zoloft, but after a month and a half the shit made me feel so fake that I stopped taking it. Now I get pissed off pretty easy hence why I have no second job. meh fuck it, ima stop here for now.

I don't know you but I have to tell you that I agree with every word you wrote. Except the depression.
I don't let myself get depressed. or perhaps I don't see anything in my life that's worth being depressed about.
the only "bad" thing I can think of is that i am not in school, yet. and I consider myself lucky.
but see im very young, im only 20.

and sometimes i even think of that.. how far i've gotten and how I perceive life, at only 20.
I compare myself and my actions with that of people my age and I have to admit I feel "ahead of them". im not saying every 20 year old is a dumbass but I see a lot of them down here.
like you said, families important and my family has helped me tremendously.
you just made me even happier about my life, thank you.
I hope you get very far and may all your wishes come true.
