happiness

  1. Au Naturel

    Here is a thought for you.

    If I am envious of someone, I do not want to sieze or destroy the thing I am envious of. If I am in my proper mind, I am happy for the good fortune of others. That does not stop me from wanting to achieve something for myself. The world is not zero-sum. My happiness does not depend on whether I...

    Whether or not this has happened to you recently (sorry if it hasn't!!) is there anything happening to you that you're super excited/happy about or just a nice change? Mine is that I get to stay at my Mum's place for 7 days while my other relatives are out and I just did my nails... I'm so...

    Coping...

    In my life, I don't feel lonely or alone. Never really felt that way even when I was single. Interaction on a face-to-face, personal level, gets too draining and too involved. Life's too short for all the drama that others bring into it...so working or creating is far more satisfying than to...

    Resuming life

    I have somewhat of a milestone to celebrate. I've been mentally stable and happy for over two months now, and it's been a while since that happened. I've been feeling like myself again and I haven't been myself for a long time. I enjoy life. I am hungry for new things. I enjoy music again. Hell...

    Getting Baptized Next Week

    Hello, peeps. I am getting baptized next week. I am so excited! I know that I have to get in front of everybody in the church to do it, I am not worried, as I am getting used to attention from crowds, and never really ever had stage fright. I'm going to get baptized by Laura, one of the two...

    Chained to Life.

    The one thing i have never liked about myself is my anger, it's insane. I get frustrated really fast, it takes me every fiber of my being to slow it down. Sometimes it comes over from not understanding what's happening, it can come off from social groups. It can come off from myself, as i am...

    I Don't Want to Follow The Sheep.

    I'm sick of having all my hopes and ambitions dismissed, because nobody else wants to do that. I don't want to talk about memes all day everyday, i don't find that stuff funny all the damn time. I don't want to follow, i am sick of having peer pressure put on me. When now i just naturally resist...

    #2 - Zero life.

    There is an italian song that says '' is there something you really care about? that makes you really happy?'' I can't answer or rather- I would be able to answer but my ''thing'' is a person that isn't a part of my life anymore and I don't know how good it can be to believe that people are...

    Having Fun the Right Way

    Hey ya'll. I'm just particularly happy right now and I wanted to talk a bit about my relationship with the phenomenon known broadly as "fun", and how I came to have more fun than I ever have in my life. In recent times, I've achieved an unprecedented level of happiness. Ever since I heard the...

    I am exhausted.

    As promised, another update, just a little later than I had planned. I've been working as a doctor for nearly two months now, and I love my job. I honestly couldn't imagine anything more fulfilling, at the end of the day. But it is draining as hell. Ask any honest doctor about their first few...

    It gets better

    This is kind of a gush, but I'm happy and I want to talk about it: I'm here tonight to say to anyone who's down, depressed, and/or hopeless: contrary to what I once believed, it really does get better. But it doesn't get better on its own; it takes a special kind of hard work, the willingness...

    Job Interview part 2: Multipotentialites

    In the wake of my job interview last week, I've made some discoveries and had some revelations. At the time of my last blog post I was feeling self-conscious. Skipping to the end: I got over that, due to some accidental vigorous soul-searching. I spent some time thinking about how, to other...

    Managing Anxieties - the FLOAT Method

    Hello everyone. My name is Mike and my psychologist thinks I have Asperger's. I initially went to him to inquire about my terrible anxieties, which I have been struggling with for many years. At the same time, I told him about everything else, that I'm just feeling different and fighting...
