It's a hard knock life....

Most definitely, life has been a series of ups and downs for me lately. Add to that are some monotonous events in my life. But yeah, you're right. It's a cycle and at this point in my life, I have to say that I am able to handle some difficulties in a very different manner compared to how I handled harsh situations a few years back. There was even a point in my life that I had to question my existence and even wondered when the stage of depression will end. But, it did end. And now, things have changed and my outlook towards life and difficult situations have definitely changed a lot. I may not be able to say the specifics but I know that there's so much that have changed in me especially when it comes to failures and successes in life.

Hey Toni! I'm happy that you are happy at the moment :) I am so glad your beautiful son is ok.. it really was a blessing that he made it through that ordeal, and hopefully it will strengthen him as a person also and he will grow from the experience. At the moment my life is good. Things with my partner are good, my dogs are healthy, my family is healthy.. and asid my loosing my grandmother recently I think I'm doing pretty well :)

Well, I'm a goal oriented person. The way I look at life is through stages.. Right at the present time I'm in the stage of learning - since I'm still a student. The moment I graduate I plan on being an entrepreneur or a self-employed guy and be stable and help my parents as well. After that I'll be making my own family. ... I'm an optimist and I never look at life's obstacles my worst times.. rather they are my opportunity to educate myself more - times.

I am happy to note that you are on your happy state again Toni. Trials and troubles are part of life . God allows that so we can see how strong he is when he gives us his help. I have been through the worst of my life already, in fact, i don't want to remember it again nor talk about it anymore. Though, it would haunt me once in a while. But because i really relied on God to lead me on how to live my life now, i can say that i am happy though not free from downs once in a while. What makes me happy though Toni, is in the midst of some downs, God is there when i call for his help. I am so thankful he lets me and my family to be happy most of the times.

Well, dear friend Toniganzon, if I remember correctly you and me we met in a chat payer called, "RO2". Remember? From what you told me then, and it took about two years, I understood that you, perhaps a mild form, you suffered for something! Or am I wrong? Instead remember Nadina?, That she was always in good spirits! However I believe that in life, we must always look ahead and (this is what everyone tells me,) especially to think positive! Do not believe you, even I'm not going at all a good time, family problems, financial problems, I'm out of work, etc.. I do not despair, however, because I always belive that in the end there is always a remedy for everything!

Actually life is exactly how you describe it. And so is my own too. Sometimes it is nice, and sometimes very hard. I don't think there is someone who has had only a pleasant life. I think both kinds of events enrich our life.

Life itself is hard. And sometimes it is a struggle. I also believe that the unfortunate look at the fortunate and think they have a charmed life. Even the wealthy or fortunate people have their issues and ups and downs. The one sure thing in this life is there is no such thing as perfection. It is what me make if it.
