Well I'm like Neb in times, there are times when I'm just depressed I guess hehe, but most of the times I'm happy. Its not about trying to keep yourself cheerful its more about just loving and giving positive energey to everyone around you, and then you'll get the same positive back.
But anyways, the happiest day in my life was probably when I got my fist computer heh [img]smile.gif[/img] . Oh and also this day when I became the official boyfriend of this girl Alexandra who looks almost exactly like Britney Spears... Oh god I still love that girl heh [img]smile.gif[/img] .

quote: DragonMage, take a *big hug* for yourself, as well. [img]smile.gif[/img] LIke you said, it's always great to find somebody who's broken the circle of abuse, recognized their own self-worth, and found a loving, happy relationahip. In my case, I went through two decades of abuse beginning at home and continuing at school, in large part because an infant with chronic asthma didn't match up to my parent's hopes for a nice, happy, suburban family. It took a while to break past mute acceptance into anger, and still longer to simply get past that and on with living my life. I've long since reached that point, and the ghosts have lost their ability to lock me in the past. Like you said, reciprocated, honest love is the key. Nothing else can do it; nothing else comes close. I've never understood those jokes denigrating men or women as a sex: my wife is also my best friend and lover. I can only wish this situation on everybody else, here. [img]smile.gif[/img] |

quote: See that's just awesome. Happiness is a perceptional choice. We can choose to look at the good stuff and be happy, or dwell on what we don't have, have lost, or will lose, and be miserable. Of course circumstances can make seeing the good stuff reeeaaally hard (pointing out the obvious now) but I believe it's still a choice at the core. Fable, Brenda, I went through really dark periods too. It ended up making the light so much brighter by comparison. |

I agree on that last point in particular, Hugh. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Without having had darkness in my life, I don't think I'd be able to truly appreciate the light that I have been blessed with now. [img]smile.gif[/img] Guido is truly my best friend and he's shown me that he loves me for who I am - good and bad. [img]smile.gif[/img] He is truly a blessing from above. And I see the bad in my life now as character strengthening. The demons of my past are just that - in the past. I am mostly a happy person, and I owe that happiness to my belief in the old adage of "what does not kill me, makes me stronger". [img]smile.gif[/img]

But having said that the happiest day I can remember was when Bubbles started running around and smiling again after she got bitten by a german shepherd. Although I cried too because it had been so worrying, seeing her so little and in so much pain that to see her happy and well again was very emotional.
