I dunno how to answer that personally tbh, Things haven’t been all that successful but when I consider all the totally irresponsible things I’ve done in my life, the last couple of years things have improved incredibly in that respect so I have to be pleased about that.
Nice to see you got the username trick so quickly, normally freaks people out, me being one of them lol.
I like that because I can identify with it. through negative and positive experiences I have gained perspective too, I like that you say you “have to be pleased about that.” I find the recognition of happiness and good fortune to be something I value so much more now, not letting the little pleasantries slip by and making an effort to embrace a good feeling, good laugh, good time, good chat or just the fact you are lucky enough to be able to draw breath, whatever. that’s where I measure success, the amount of time spent feeling good, laughing, smiling, and sharing that with others. nothing feels better to me than having a good time with like minded people and reflecting on it even more if it was unexpected. so many people (in the over advantaged first world we live in*) think so differently, some want to fill a massive house with all the big toys and beautiful possessions, most want their loved ones and children to prosper, others even want to crush any opposing force that could stand as an opposition to their sense of self no matter who it might hurt, its something I’ve been putting a lot of thought into. people get so damned motivated sometimes, charging foreword for the idea of being better bigger or whatever. I cannot grasp it. I would really like to hear some of the minds that circulate this sites opinions.
*We are very lucky, and need to be grateful, its a gahstly world and here we are chewing the fat on the net while people who are every bit as relevant and meaningful as you and I are watching their children starve to death.
