Is this it?

 

Is this the joys that you get out of life? Because its not good enough.

 

Everytime I look back at a highlight of my day, I realise just how shitty it actually was and how I didnt even appreciate it at the time it happened. Like going out, everytime I go to a club or a pub or a comedy night, I'm left feeling not impressed.

 

I guess it takes a lot to impress me, and thats, crap.

Learn to love the little things in life.

A simple sentence Briggsy, but it makes sense, and it just made me think of something.

 

Im doing NOTHING fulfilling in my life right now, Im not going to classes, full stop. I should start digging into schoolwork or get something to do with my life, and when I start working hard to achieve things I'll learn to appreciate the little things

 

Thanks Briggs.

Exactly, don't just look at a highlight as something dumb. A highlight is a hightlight, it might not be the most exciting thing in the world but all the little things in life added up make a beautiful thing.

 

Just a smile from somebody, or something that makes you appreciate life makes life worth it.

I think I've been living the high life a little too much lately. I've spent ridiculous amounts of money in the past 2 months and havent done a single hour of schoolwork (And I've attended about 3 single classes out of 70) so its kind of hard for a person to keep themselves entertained 24/7.

 

I need to get gritty into doing shitty schoolwork again, its not a wonderful or fun thing to do but it doesnt bring me down because it feels like I've achieved something at the end of the day. Which is much better then what I feel right now when I go home every night.

 

When you spend all day working hard, the highlights really do seem worth it. And a smile from someone or a small thing feels a lot more important.

 

Thanks for listening man.

Oh anytime Reilly. :) Yeah it is hard to get back into the grind of things, and doing homework, going to class, etc. But in the long run it really will be worth it. It is just so hard sometimes to see outside the little box of today and tomorrow.

 

I just say I can't wait until retirement :P Nevermind just finishing high school.

 

 

But I'm off to bed now. Reilly if you need extra motivation to go to class and stuff, we'll help. Thats what some of us are here for. :)

Ahhh you are the nicest guy, I may need some of that motivation. Unfortunately it's kind of hard to turn on my PC and log onto the board when I wake up at 7am and go straight back to bed :P

 

But tomorow morning, I'm there. School, first thing, for sure.

 

Gdnight Briggsy.

i read the whole thing... i think youre right to go back to classes reilly.

right now classes are shitty to me. i attend to them just enough to pass and cheat in all the exams (hahahahaha... bad, i know), but whats giving me real joy is work. I think im one of the few that can say that i LOVE what im doing now at work. It has to do with what i want to keep doing and ive learned to apreciate the little things... like a smile from a guest, or a nice and warm thank you, it just makes my day, and i come back soooo happy and proud of myself...

I think that everyone has their way of apreciating the little things in life, mine right now, is my work... maybe u just need to find what will is it to you...

Well life sucks and then you die,end of story,grab a cuppa tea etc..

reilly,i was reading this post and i've been a little shocked!don't forget a thing:life could change in a minute and in unexpected ways.It happened to me.And,please,GO TO SCHOOL!if u stay at home u get the things worse.....

almost same here in the last time...

 

i'm living in a new (for me) country and everything's so different and strange...sometimes i just want to give up everything,go back to Russia to my friends and have fun with them.but after i realize that if i'll mess up things today,i'll mess up my future as well.i won't have a good job,i won't have money maybe...it's very difficult...this feeling sucks

 

and briggins is right : appreciate the little things is important...i need to start to do it too

 

and go back to classes,cause i have them too...hehe

Life is one of the most precouis things in world... and should be grasped with both hands...and till the end to be never let gone.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL .... a close friend of mine recently lost his wife... and she was only 38

I think going to school can be seen at the moment as a joy in my life.....ok....It's really stressy sometimes....but i see my friends there etc.....and I'm in my last year of school and I realised more often why I am here...and what I have achieved in those 12 years now.....that it was all my effort that I came so far.....it really makes proud......and when i think of the time after it...if everything will work.....I can do what i really want to do:

Being a professional musician...and "study" saxofon at university.....

Julia !!!!!!!!!!!!

heyha daryl!:nice:

Did you achieve what you wanted?

(actually is that the point of the thread.....I mean achieving things etc....I'm a bit confused.....did you mean things like that reilly?)

This thread is turning out nicely.

 

Did you go to classes today Reilly?

Nothing to do with achieving, just living day by day.

 

I always find myself coming home at the end of a day and feeling so empty, like I'm doing nothing with my life.

 

Daryl you cant grab life like that, you cant do it all the time, its unfulfilling. Ive tried to have a fantastic time everyday for the past 2 months and I've spent ridiculous amounts of money but nomatter what I do, skating, paintballing, going out every single night, its not exciting.

 

The reason its not exciting is because Im getting so used to it, I'm spoiling myself, and I need to calm down and start going to school again because its the only thing that can knock me back to reality.

 

Plus I dont mind school, its alright, if I mix a healthy worklife with school and the social life I already have, I'll feel good again. Content.

Did you go to classes today Reilly?

 

No I didnt. My friends came knocking on my door at FOUR AM and we went to a house party that was just starting, so I didnt stand much of a chance of making it to school.

 

I got about an hours sleep but managed to wake up at 8, and then realised I didnt know what area I was in and no clue how to get home and didnt want to wake people up.

 

Besides, going to school would have been pointless as I was too dead to learn anything.

 

Tomorow I dont have any classes, so pray for my Thursday morning guys, sorry.

Yeah sometimes I will be out and I'll be having LOADS of fun, then I sit back and just feel so EMPTY and I don't know why. It's not a nice feeling,

I think you need a girlfriend Reillo...

One of my favorite things when everything seems dull and out of perspective is to go outside and look up at the stars. Corny, maybe, but it has a funny way of making everything make sense again, and making my mind quiet down.

Oh.....reilly.......all this sounds bad somehow....I think you really have to change something.......otherwise it sounds for me like waisted time if you actually do the things not for joy.....

and i think going back to school would be a good step "back to reality" as you said.....

I think you need a girlfriend Reillo...

 

I cant just FIND a girlfriend man, I know a lot of girls, and dated and such, finding a girl I completely connect with and feel comfortable with is a very hard thing to do.

 

Yeah Erin, I do that too sometimes.

 

Thanks Julia, all I can say is that I'll try, and I mean that.

How was school today, Reillo?

 

Did you go? :o

Nope, I mentioned why earlier in this topic.
