why?

[-Stewie-]

whenever you're feeling really happy and glad to be alive, there's always something to bring you down

nothing can ever just be straight forward and nice can it?

there's always something

and it wouldnt be so bad if the good times were worth being upset in between

but they're really not

why do we bother?

I read your post, then my eyes fell down to read your siggy. You signature contains some very wise words, and I think says everything I wanted to say to you.

*cuddles*

Take care of yourself

i agree, sometimes it does seem like there's always something. i guess i think that, as time goes on, we will learn to better deal with the bad things in between the good things, and so they won't affect us in such bad ways, and then the good times in between will seem better cos there won't be as much bad stuff in our heads. if that makes sense?!

omgosh this is so confusing
it's like a..... what's that thing called? a conundrum? i dont understand it. Erin is very smart but my mind is getting overwhelmed with the logic of the happiness on condition but happiness is only felt without condition but how can you not have conditions and when you are disappointed does that mean then that you deserve to not have happiness because you were expecting it?

i hope you are doing better now *hugs* sorry i am too confused to say anything supportive or helpful

I think I understand what you're saying. I wish there was a way to make the good times worth the bad feelings/events that seem to inevitably follow and come between. We bother with trying to go on with the good events because the good events give us that little bit of hope that keeps us going on through the bad times--which have the tendency of reducing and/or eliminating that hope. I wish I had some good advice for you to make the good times more worth the bad, and to help you even that out (because you deserve that!) Unfortunately, all I can offer right now are hugs. If you want to talk, though, I'm here to listen (pm or message or whatever). Please take care <3

If life was straightforward it would be boring! Imagine being happy ALL the time and not experiencing any kind of sadness or pain. I'm not saying we should enjoy it but that's what life is about: experiences. Getting through the bad times and enjoying the good as much as you can!
