The Not Happy Thread

I’m feeling a bit better now. :3 The worse has passed, here’s hoping it’s gone for a while — I really want to go back to my usual happy, chipper self.

 

One of my writing partners had to suspend what we're writing to focus on their life and that's just one more step closer to leaving that site for me.

I'm fine with leaving, but the suspension of these roleplays blows because of all of the ideas involved and created. It makes me pretty sad.

Plus I hate that it makes me a touch jealous because I'm never going to be able to do that my partner's doing because I won't have the monetary or emotional support network in place to do so.

Edit:. And I feel like an awful person for feeling this way.

 

A saying I like and have found to be quite true: If you don't like your position in life compared to those around you, just wait five years.

Things keep on changing.

 

The situation's one I've seen for the past seven or so years of my life. It's still the same as ever for me. My current position is only marginally better than it was then.

 

You're pretty young, though. I was jealous of someone else's situation but now mine is better than hers ever was and she is dead.

 

I think what really hurts is that he gave me all these killer ideas for my fantasy... and then our friendship just collapses...

I know it’s illogical, but a part of me is concerned with even going back to my fantasy now because we’ve talked so much about it...

 

Be jealous of none, annoyed maybe, but never jealous.
Jealousy is the dark road to vengeance, a peg leg, and
a strong need to harpoon your proverbial white whale.
While it may sound like a good idea to harpoon those
that you hold in contempt, it will not make you feel
one ounce better at the end of the day.

So put the harpoon down, take a deep breath and
stop chasing wales.

And forget about the people that piss you off.

 

Who you calling a whale?

 

It is a metaphor, not meant to be taken literally.
Just saying it is not healthy to obsess over someone
else's situation that you wish you had, cause it can
drive you insane. Guess I should avoid using Moby
Dick in a metaphorical way.

 

Carly used a smiley. You don't have to take her post so seriously.

 

I'm hitting an age where it likely won't be worth it to pursue what I would like. Now, if I hit the lottery then I can pursue it.

Nearly anything's better than being dead and I would hope this person doesn't die.

I'm not entirely certain what you're saying. None of it seems particularly relevant or it seems like an odd inference concerning what I wrote. My plan on leaving the other site has been in place long before this writing partner's message. I don't pick stories back up after months of inactivity.

@Cave Troll : That's very good advice.

I'll get over this brief hump; I always do. Sometimes a vent's needed and then I'll be better.

 

Ah, thanks for reminding my I am a real boy. Some days I forget, and nuance is lost on me.

 

I'm not judging or anything, but that's a pretty despicable thing to say.

 

Yes, you are judging and it's simply stating something that actually happened, not saying I wished for it or was glad of it. So, there's nothing "despicable" about my statement at all. Please comprehend before you insult.

 

Jealousy and comparing yourselves to others? We'll have to agree to disagree

 

I don't especially care what you think.

 

You mean those perfectly human things that everyone in the world does on more than one occasion in their lives? Yup, pure atrocities.

 

I wish I had a usual happy, chipper self

 

I have a nice hole in my gut.

 

Aw, cute!

I'm lucky my cat isn't too afraid of fire works. He was all cool until the neighbors across the street started to shoot. There were some smaller that felt like the exploded right outside the window. First one even scared me! They died down quickly, though, and he's sleeping like nothing happened now.

Though as I mentioned in another thread - the first show was at five, and there have been some fire works on and off since then. Sure, it was worse around midnight, but still has to be stressful on the animals.

 

I went to bed at a reasonable time, which is rare during the holidays, so that I could wake up at a reasonable time and be well-rested. Yeah. I watched a YouTube video with a jump-scare in it yesterday, so every time I turn the light off, I've had this horrifying image come to the front of my mind, and I've turned it right back on again. It's five to eight and I haven't had a wink of sleep. So much for "well-rested".

 

Loads of jump scares here for you

 

I'm so stressed out about getting a job this year that I can't do anything.

I've been trying to get started on this application and my brain just freezes up and I can't write anything! All I want to do is curl up like a ball and sleep until things gets better - just that they won't get better unless I work harder.
