Sometimes it's telling myself that I am a failure who can't hack it. That always pisses me off and makes me very motivated. Being told I'm incapable of doing something or that people don't believe in me is a wonderful motivator for me.

Other times, it's my best friend who keeps me going. She has long been the reason I get up every day and don't regret waking up.

I would probably have to say my truck. 1..I can be alone and go anywhere. 2) I can listen to my music in there which always helps. Just pop in Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon and it just puts me in a zone(hard to explain i'm weird).....

Energizer batteries......duh.

I usually say " wow, this sucks" knowing that it will eventually come to an end.

I've done a lot of things in my life. Been a lot of places, met a lot of people.

i would have to say, thinking that all bad things are learning experiences they build character cliched as it might sound, its true. I had the worst august ever i mean it was bad

totaled my car, lost my wallet, my frickin dog died, and some other stuff. Anyways i looked at these things as ways to build onto my character. and always quote limp bizkit "everything happens for a reason" (i hate that band!!)

he is my center.....When life gets tough.....he's the thing that keeps me centered and focused on the future......In life there are always reasons to get down and depressed and want to die(trust me been there) But it takes more courage and Strength to not give in to these dark feelings........ I could be really depressed right now....i mean in the last 3 months.....My mom died, my ex wife divorced me, i got kicked out of my house, my car died 2x, my ex got rid of all 3 of my dogs, my dad almost went into coma......and many other things......but the key to everything is to find that one thing that brings you more happiness and joy than all the bad things in your life.....and cling to it......and trust me....we all have something......but there are so many people in this world that have it worse than each of us.....just think of all the starving children in africa......Life is precious......enjoy every moment your given......In time all things will get better....as the old saying goes...Time is the ultimate healer......I dont know what your problems are specificly....But if u need to talk....feel free to IM me........jus know.....life could be worse.....so take it a step at a time...and focus on the good....not the bad.....

laughter.

whenever im mad, ill make a joke about it. and just let it sink in while im happy. that way, its not so bad. you just gotta remember that other people and their oppions dont matter. live your life the way you wanna, go live in the woods and use nunchucks to kill and eat rabbits - who cares, as long as you enjoy it. learn as much as you can abou as many things as you can.

building somthing usually makes me happy and proud of what i can do too.

theres alot in life. sometimes you just have to get there before it gets anybetter.

go buy youself a milkshake //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks for your reply. I'm too young (19) to have something as special as that to keep everything going, but your reply has helped me alot. I have alot of respect for you. You are one emotionally strong dude, and I like your view on life! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I dont know what your problems are specificly...QUOTE]
Its nothing nearly as hard as the things you have had to go through. Its just a struggle I'm having with myself. My gf and I broke up 2 and a half months ago. Hadn't really talked between than and now up until a couple of weeks ago. I started hanging out with her friends (they because my friends through her), and there's no reason I can't be friends with them too, you know? Well one night, I was drunk, and I slept with them, and now since Me and me ex have been hanging out now (we even went on a date). We're getting closer and we both want to be together again, when the timing is right and all of our differences are worked out completely. Now, I have this guilt hanging over my head about her two best friends. I'm just trying to make this a learning experience and grow from it. You know, take the positive from it. Its just so hard to let the negative thoughts go. They keep crowding my mind, but they are getting better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
