Do You Love Your Life?

[Vixen]

not at this moment to many conflicts with my bf it just makes me so down sad1:

Funny you should ask this now. I just did a college paper, which we will be discussing tonight, about a study done by researchers. This study found that life is just too hard, for almost everyone. Nine out of ten people said they would just give up, if they knew how to do so. The conclusion was that we are just waiting for someone to solve the question of "why is life so hard?", and come up with some sort of medication to "fix" it all.

My feelings on this is there is no possible way that can be true!!! I would be so depressed to learn that so few people enjoy life enough to want to be living it. I have had a really hard life (I could tell you some stories...), as I know most everyone has. Everyone here has stories. I know life is a struggle for people, and some struggle more than others. But I really have to believe that the majority of the population still feels the good parts of life make the bad parts worth getting through.

I LOVE MY LIFE! It may not be perfect, and it may not be easy, but I wouldn't give it up for anything!

I love my wife and our kids and our house and our neighborhood.

Can't say the same about my daily commute, my current job, and our current financial situation.

What he said. But I have a hubby.

And I don't love that I don't have time to do some of the things I love.

I am very, very fortunate in many areas of my life and for the most part I am happy. What makes it difficult is trying to divide my time between my immediate family (dh & two kids) and my elderly parents. My calendar is filled with dr. appointments for everyone and I need to schedule my time carefully for when they ALL need me. There are days when it is very difficult, and sadly, the only way it will become less difficult is when my parents are gone and I don't want that any time soon..

At this moment in time, no I do not love or even like my life. They say that God only gives you what you can handle. I am almost at my breaking point here. Still no job success and it doesn't seem to be getting any better, unemployment is at its all time high, which I had prayed we would never see, my mother was just diagnosed with Cancer and NOW her current Dr. is not able to perform this surgery she has to go to a specialist which is 2 hours away, we may lose our house. Just those alone has made things very frustrating and I am very depressed. I am thankful for GREAT and AMAZING friends but they live out of state so its hard and I don't want to bother them.

I am happy for those that do have their jobs and are able to work, however it does bug me a little bit when I hear people say.... I hate my job and what not. I wish on a gagillion stars that I could say that I wasn't happy with my job. I LOVED MY JOB and I miss it everyday, it doesn't get better it gets worse.

I used to be the one that if someone was down or not in a good mood I would cheer them up, I would be the true optomist, today I can say that I am no longer that person.

Sorry didn't mean for it to be so long...just venting I guess but good question OP.

A big NO here, too. My job isn't what I want or need financially. The future isn't looking too rosy either job-wise and career-wise. I'm stuck living somewhere where I don't want to be. But socially things have been looking good (lots of friends ), but on the big scheme of things - the job and money aren't there. I actually worry about becoming homeless one day.

Sadly though, I am pretty much exactly where I feared I would be at my age. Yeah, what optimism.

 

[OctMtnWoods]

Its been worse in the past, that's for sure. I think I might like to return to work, but I'm not sure of what type of work yet. I don't want something that is going to make me miserable again.

 

[TheBigBadWolf]

yes i love my life and feel very blessed.

When I first saw this thread and began reading, I was going to reply no I don't. But after reading what others are going through, I have to change my answer. I have to be thankful that I have temporary custody of my three DD's and we live in a nice apartment and area, they are making new friends at their new schools, and I have a vehicle that works. Most of all, I have some really good friends near me, here on DIS and my extended family helping me out because my financial situation is not good right now. God does provide, it may not look like it at first.

I asked/prayed to God last week twice that my blood would be healthy enough to allow me to donate plasma, I was able to donate twice. I also participated in two free food programs in my area, the food are donated by local stores and was fresh, good food! Thank you everyone.

 

[Explodo]

Yes. Very much so. My wife makes me laugh. The Kids are just what they should be...Kids. My Yob is interesting and relevant...Challenging and needed...I am very blessed and humble in regards to that aspect. On the flip side, my health issues make life scary and sobering.

So over all...I love my life.

 

[jimmalru80]

Yes, I love my life. I have much to be thankful for.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Do I love it right now? No. I need a full time job soon and with the job market and economy the way it is, it stresses me out. Plus all of the debt we are repaying and a kid going to college.

Not too mention we have family members hanging on by a thread financially.

It is very hard to "love" life for me right now and I hate that.

 

[NCRedding]

I have much to be thankful for, including that I am healthy as is most of my family. Parts of my life are great, and I try to keep that in mind.

I wish things were more stable financially, but don't we all.

I don't love my life right now, but I'm working on appreciating my life right now.

I think you show the perfect example of what it means to truly love life even when things aren't good. Things can turn sour at any second of any day. but, if you work hard and you have faith that things will get better, then there is ALWAYS something in your life for you to love and appreciate.

My husband didn't have a job for months and months last year and then once he got one, I didn't have one for months and months. Things got bad. Then my husband and I both had health problems. Leading to me having a $25,000 surgery. But even at their very worst, when every moment was a struggle...I still couldn't say that I didn't love my life. Afterall...I was alive, I had my husband, my family, and my friends. And most of all I had my faith and my dreams.

 

[Saphire]

Life is hard. But yes, I love my life.

 

[Diva of Dragons]

I love my life, if not my current current lifestyle! LOL!

I'm not happy right now. Not miserable either, just kind of, "eh"! There are many improvements to be made. However, I am extrememly grateful, for everything that I DO have! In reality, I know that we have it pretty darn good! That's what I focus on to help make the other changes necessary for me to be truly happy. "If it is to be, it's up to me"!

 

[Robinrs]

Every stage of my life has made me who I am at this moment. I have survived the deepest recesses of HECK but now... hey I AM BLESSED!!

Answer? YES!!

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

Things are good right now, but they are about to get GREAT!

 

[Tikitoi]

Some of it.

 

[SundancePass]

After a horrid car accident I am lucky to be alive and in great health where everything works just as it is supposed to. Yes, I love my blessed life!
