If there is one rule that I live by, it's never to give up hope, no matter what the situation or how dire it may seem.

I spent my 15th birthday in a wheelchair, just after being told that I'd never walk properly again, if at all. For no other reason than to prove them wrong, I spent the next six months learning to walk again, and another six on crutches until I could walk unaided. Eventually I was cycling the ten miles to the hospital for my appointments until the Doctor saw me cycling up to the door one day and told me to go home - he was wasting his time and mine. Four years later, at 19 y/o, I climbed Kilimanjaro - one of the seven summits, and now, ten years later, I'm an active member of Mountain Rescue, fitter and stronger than most people I know.

I'm not trying to say "woah - look at me" - I'm trying to make the point that the only limits in your life are the ones that you set yourself, and that once you realise that and maintain that hope, then anything is possible.

Actually, I agree with him...

Missy, go get some hot sex from a young 20something yro. You'll feel much better.

Just make sure you don't catch Crabs or something.

Actually the quick link didn't work for some reason... it was suppose to point to the post with this pic...

rockouthippie · 20th January 2006, 16:35

I'm having such a morning. It hasn't stopped raining for a month. So much rain it wrecked the headliner of my car.

Work has been tedious and doesn't pay enough. I bit my moms head off today for no reason, other than she can be an annoying old lady. And my brother and sister never give me a rest from her. It's always me that gets the duty of making sure she's taken care of.

I live in this slimy town of Hillsboro, a big ol fat jail town. The leading occupation is being an alcoholic or tweaker.

It seems like nobody ever calls me unless the want something from me. Yesterday it was $400 to rescue a "friend" of mines daughter from an abusive relationship.... needed plane fare....

And I have a cold.

Do I think it will ever get any better... sure ... things might brighten up to their normal SH*TTY...

I'm sure spending a lot of days going through the motions and not feeling good about things.

The thing is... I don't even know how to fix it anymore... bad relationships, false friends, sick parents....

Yeah... tommorrow will be better, but it won't really be better... maybe I just won't think about it like I did this morning.

fwgx · 20th January 2006, 17:03

I'm convinced I'll live a very lonely life because I don't seem to have many social or creative skills that I think you're supposed to learn and develop when you're about 4.

I am a very uninteresting person and that saddens me. I seem to see the world from the third person if that makes any sense.

However, if you're looking for a 20something for an evening.....

papadoc · 20th January 2006, 18:03

One day, I sat staring at my tennis shoes.
They were badly worn out, and there was a hole in the bottom of one of them.
I didn't have the money to go buy a new pair.
Shit, I didn't have the money to buy anything I wanted.
I was really getting depressed about this, because I wanted a new pair of tennis shoes.
When I walked in the rain my feet got wet.
The water would come up through the hole in the bottom.
When it was cold, my feet got really cold, because they were so worn out,
they didn't provide any insulation for my feet.
And they looked bad!
Damnitt, I needed a new pair of tennis shoes.
This is so damn depressing...
So I stopped staring at my tennis shoes and looked out the window.
There on the sidewalk, I saw a man with one leg...trying to get across the street.

seraphim · 20th January 2006, 18:19

Missy, seriously I just give up all the time, sometimes even to the point where I want to stand infront of an oncoming train. I do have my better days, but hell, if I can get through life and maybe even be happy, I am damn sure you can.

fwgx · 20th January 2006, 18:49

she told me
that I was lame
with her middle finger in my face
wont waste her time with such a loser
so now I wallow in regret
wanna do something right but I haven't yet
why do my endeavors end up in failure

I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong

I guess I shouldn't feel so bad
ain't got much reason to feel so sad
'cept that I'm poor untalented and ugly
I know its like they always say
good times and bad will come our way
but theres only one thing that'll make this easier

I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong

so wrong
I sing this song and nobody sings along
I've got a friend
he's in my hand
he understands
he said to me everything wont be so bad!

I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong

I think I'll go out drinkin' (think I'll go out drinkin')
drinkin' all night long (drinkin' all night long)
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
about how the worlds done me
how the worlds done me wrong (so wrong)

You guys are really good at bringing a 16 year old happy-go-lucky kid with loads of amibtions and hopes down.

/edit Wait, nah, not really. HOORAY FOR YOUF AND BELIEF IN TEENAGE IMMORTALITY

Thank you everyone. I am doing a little better, keeping busy at work, spending time hugging my boys.......

Sorry, I did not mean for this thread to bring anyone down. I just had to get out what I was feeling at the moment and figured this was the place.

Widdy, you are so right...... You are always right.... Stop looking for all the answers in all the wrong places..... Leaning on hope and thinking he can provide that....... Valium is my friend for now... stopped taking it for a week but need it again. I know I will be ok.... Got through this before and lived....... Just that sometimes the pain gets to the point where I feel god even left me too. As the song goes "Im a survivor" so many regrets, wish I could change the past. Just want to go back and make different decisions, miss so much what was a part of me........

Pappy I know there are those that are so less fortunate than I and I need to focus on that. I just had such high dreams for myself - High expectations of my life and I just keep getting pushed down. Thanks for the video -- I actually smiled and laughed!

I just want someone to love me for me...... someone to count on...... someone to trust...... someone to share the sunshine and hold onto during the rainy days...... I guess I expect too much...........

Sorry for babbling.......

Thanks to everyone for your posts.

I think everyone wants these things, but all you can count on is yourself and rely on the love you have for yourself. Once you have that the rest is cake.

I understand what you are saying and I have been told that many times.

The thing is I do love myself. I am one of the nicest, most thoughtful, giving, loving and good people that I have ever met. I do like the person that I am.

I guess I just make the wrong decisions.

I never thought it was too much to expect either. It sure doesn't ever seem to work out that way though.

I guess ya bite your lip, buy a dog and try to smile once in a while.

Widdykats · 21st January 2006, 15:28

^Or a cat! We will give ya' the same thing as a bad relationship.
We will be ungrateful..
Self Absorbed....
Vain....
and notice you, when it's convenient...
