Positive Feelings ^_^

[Shandriz]

So, there seems to be a lot of negativity on this board sometimes. I'm not saying it's a bad thing-- people need to vent their frustrations, talk about their problems, get advice. But there -is- a lot of it, and sometimes it can get pretty darn depressing.

So...yeah. I have had some bad things going on in my life, sure. I've had difficulty working through some of my own issues, but there've been good things too.

My friends and I are starting to communicate more regularly again. I'm starting to feel that I can lean on them a bit more even than I used to, because now that we're all adults, it seems more like they'll understand all the things I'm going through...I suppose that calls for just a little bit of explanation-- almost all of my friends are at least a year younger than me, so when I was off at college and they were still in high school, it was difficult trying to relate my own problems to them. Now, we're all in college (though different ones) and in the adult world, working and stuff, so it's easier.

But the best thing? Starting college again, surprisingly. I was put on Academic probation after a rather rocky start my first year (in which I informed my parents I needed a year off from school, they disagreed, and I ended up completely miserable, skipping classes, and wasting money.) and I spent the next year, in which I wasn't allowed to attend school until the year after that, working. Started off in Daycare, moved to work at Suncoast, then babysat a bit.

All along I actually -missed- schooling. I needed that year off to remind me just how much I still had to learn, how much I still wanted to learn. How much I needed something to work towards.

And this year I'm doing it. I've started my classes as of Monday. I'm getting things done, attending class. I met up with an old friend of mine, two years younger, whom I've always had a special place in my heart for, and the two of us are reconnecting, becoming friends again. It's like..magic. Sure, even in just this week there've been times when I just wanted to go home and bury myself in my covers, hide under my pillow and deny that I have to start taking responsibility for myself...

But the things I'm getting from this experience are worth so much more. I have this keychain one of my friends got me a year or two ago. It's nothing fancy, just a silver-coloured dolphin. She probably picked it up at Wal-Mart on a whim. But every time I look at that keychain, I remind myself what I'm working towards, why I'm doing this. I can't give up, and I know that this time, I'll make it.

What about you? Positive thoughts!

Big Sis! I'm in college now, so I'm "in the adult world". You know I'm always here to talk!

I'd put positive thoughts up here, but I don't have many, I'm a depressed/ing person. I do have positive thoughts, but they aren't things that should be talked about in public, just take in consideration that I have positive thoughts.

Uhm -hugs-

[Shandriz]

Little Bro! *huggles him* ^___^ I'm so glad you're doing all right!

Murr. I need to start getting on AIM again, methinks.

[Azurel]

You know I'm always online, perhaps I'll put a special sound for when you sign on just to pick up conversation.

[starlitdancer]

That sounds great, Shandriz!

Positive feelings . . . well, there *are* some. My ex and I straightened things out last night. We aren't getting back together, but things were a bit iffy after our breakup, and we've decided to be friends. I think it can be managed, since we had several days of "no contact" and busy schedules, and last night we were able to communicate openly. The nice thing is that we don't regret what happened, and we've learned a lot from the experience.

Other things . . . well, it finally rained over here. We had two storms, actually. Thunder and lightning, the whole works. It's been a while since we've had wet weather.

[Azurel]

I've got semi-good news. I get to see my semi-ex tonight for the first time in a long time. We talked today, and hit it off real well which was a nice change from how our usual conversations go. Uh, my dad's pampering me and paying for all 3 of us going to Ocean City, as well as giving me a couple hundred in spending money. He just won a huge settlement so he's treating me well.
