    Well, a lot of people liked this thread back on SPPF so I'm posting it here in the hopes of cheering up someone. ^_^

    I notice a LOT of people seem to have problems. Nutty parents, girlfriend dumped them, no friends, etc, etc, etc. You're feeling down, miserable, you feel like you got hit by a truck and want to lie down, curl up and cry or shrivel up and die.

    Well, don't do that. Put things in perspective, and try to look at the bright side of things. There's a LOT more to life than you'd know. ~.^

    I know, I know, it feels good to have a good cry and punch the crap out of your pillow. That's fine. But you can't decide to "OMG my girlfriend dumped me my life is over I'll kill myself!!"

    There's more to life than that. If you're feeling sad...go outside, and look at the stars. Don't give them a cursory glance then shrug and go back inside. LOOK at them. Look at their pattern. Look at the moon. Admire their beauty. Think about life, reflect. You all have many, many years ahead of you, and you have the gift to enjoy music. Listen to music and try to notice the little things no one notices. Maybe a spiderweb covered in morning dew, or the gorgeous russet-yellow leaves in autumn.

    You all never know what life has in store for you. Someday, if you try really hard, you will find happiness. Always try to have a postive outlook on life. ^_^

    Remember, life can be a pain, but it can also be beautiful. You can cry, you can scream, you can throttle your younger siblings (although I don't endorse that..XD)

    But...NEVER GIVE UP ON LIFE. No matter what, never give up. When you give up, you're giving up on yourself. Don't do that. Life is too precious to waste. Go out, enjoy what it has to offer. And I'm sorry if I sound cliche..I feel cliche today. :P

    I hope I helped some...if not, you have my permission to throw tomatoes at me. XD
     
    Though I'm feeling a little down not having reached my target for this examinations, I managed to barely pass my 2nd wish (get an L1R5 of 20, what's that, don't ask me, I don't know how to explain =P), and I'm definitely not giving up on life, because 15 years is already a kind of "investment" in life. Dying will waste it, unless I'm meant to go.
    Even when you feel like you are the most miserable person in the world, you aren't really. Take a look at people with terminal illnesses or life-time disabilities, and anyone worse than you in any possible way (Don't look down on them though). I always think of that, and it makes me feel as though I'm already very blessed with the good things in life.
    So, great thread anyway, never knew such a thing could be popular ^^
     
    Sometimes life can be really very hard. I know something about it because all my life has been hard. But I think, everybody should have a hope for better life. Hope is the most important. Tomorrow will be better. Life sometimes is hard and sad, but it doesn`t mean- it sucks. Also, if someone has hard life, he should try to change it. Your school is bad, try to find another, you was kicked out from a job, try to find another, gf/bf left you- your feelings will go and... try to find another love. Your life is in your hands. God won`t help you if you don`t want. Some people love talking "My life sucks!" "I suck" "I`m lousy" "My all life will be bad" etc. etc. and so??? and they don`t wanna change it. They are just lazy. But if they don`t change it, they will lose all life. I had a friend-Jarax. He was just weird. Every day I had to listen about his hard life, about his depression, about how stupid, bad, silly he is etc. I asked: "Why do you live like that? Go and change it" he said: "No, I`m weak and evil. Also, I`m lazy".

    About unhappy love. I have had a brokenheart few times. I know, its a pain but I know, it will go... Also, the best "pill" is a next love^^
     
    You have a very good point, Speccy. I am pretty much happy-go-lucky 24/7, but even if I ever feel down, I just think to myself: "Well, there are worse things that could have happened, I could have been born with no head and three arms. o_O;;;" I hate it when people get so sad that they want to hurt themselves. Like some people, when they are REALLY down in the dumps, they tend to claw up themselves or slit their wrists or something horrible. Me? The only thing that gets me down is my advanced english teacher. *shudders* she is sooo mean!! She knocks off points on my work for silly little things like "humor" I mean, that is just wrong. My sister said I should just quit advanced english, but I said no. I am not ditching my chance to get into a good college because my teacher sucks. So, when she's reeeeeeeally buggin' me, I just sing a song in my head, and "poof!" I am in a nice, peaceful world where there are no advanced english teachers in sight. ^^ Soooooooo, for all of you who ever feel down, and need to talk about it, I'd say talk to me about it. Or I am sure good ol' Speccy would be willing to help you out too. afterall, no one should ever have to feel sad, life is about making the most of it, and being the best person you can be. NOT trying to figure out a good way to murder your advenced english teacher. <<;;; ;;;>> *hops away*

    Honestly, Pikawolf, I would like to be so huge optimistic girl like you.
    I belive, your bad days are not long. You are almost all the time happy.
    I belive, you have a lot of "sun" inside.

    Today is my bad day. Everything is dark. Bleh.
     

    Casey, just remember that the sun comes shining after storm, and then you get rainbows, lol. :P But seriously, sometimes your best moments come out your worst days. Hang in there.


    YEOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!! I just slammed my foot into the sliding door! Oh, man, this really isn't my day either. Oh well, you can laugh at me and maybe you'll feel a little better. :P

    Life is a journey with reasons, what we do will affect how it goes, so there's more reason to try to be as happy as possible. And yes, laughter is the best medicine, but don't go mad with too much of it.
     
    Well, I do not know why but it is rare that I get angry or sad for something that happens to me...
    The sad things that happen in my life is when something bad happens to someone i love. And this is when I start praying asking God for help.

    Anyway, many bad things have happened to me but I have never felt sad about them... the thing is that I do not even understand how I manage not to feel sad, I just do it. If I can say it i think I have built an armor on my feelings and it is really difficult to break it.
    What I have stuck in my mind is that there are many, MANY other people that are in a seriously worse situation than mine, (but still, they live and are still able to smile.) and if I would even start complaining about my situation then I would b a wimp. (think about some african populations that now have been reduced to total misery.... would I ever be able to be compared to them, whatever thing happens to me?)

    Also there are some good quotes from our Ninja Grandmaster Toshitsugu Takamatsu that may help. (he sadly passed away, but I, and many other people, will still remember him forever)

    "The way to experience ultimate happiness is to let go of all worries and regrets, and to know that being happy is the most satisfying of life's feelings.
    Reflect back on all the progress in your life and allow the positive, creative and joyous thoughts to outshine and overwhelm any sorrow or grief that may linger in the recesses of your mind. Knowing that disease and disaster are natural parts of life is the key to overcoming adversity with a calm and happy spirit.

    Happiness is waiting there in front of you.
    Only you can decide whether or not you choose to experience it.

    Take this to heart."
    Kofuku No Shiori -By O'Sensei Toshitsugu Takamatsu, 33rd Grandmaster of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu.
    Thank you sensei...

    I hope this can help whoever is feeling sad at the moment...

    Awwwwwwwwwww! *huggles Cas* I am sure it's not that bad! But if you really think your day has been rotten, what I like to do, is just take a leisurely walk outside, in the fresh air where I can feel thw wind and the sun on my face. *sighs* It always makes me feel a lot better. Or even just doing something you love can calm the spirits and make all the badness around you go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faaaaaaaaaar away! ^^ I would porbably draw, or train my Pokemon in LG. I hope you have a super awsome day from now on, Cas!! ^_^

    If you're having a bad day, just scream and kick and pummel your pillow. Me? You know what I do? I take up my picture of my ex-boyfriend Justin, who gropes me on a regular basis, and I put it up on my punching bag (I kickbox as a hobby) and pummel the CRAP out of it. Always makes me feel better. >:3
     
    I have a few problems. A few...really stupid problems...Like, if I don`t talk to the chick I like, like, everyday, I get really depressed (I HAVE NO IDEA WHY! It sucks, `cause it`s hard to talk to her... :( ) Then, like...I have an evil english teacher...Okay, that girl is about all that is my problem...>.<
     
    yeah don't get all pressed over her... the sun is not meant to rise at her awakening, it's meant to rise at kelsey's awakening *huggles pikawolf*

    WHAAA? spectreon whip him! pummel him and then smack the snot out of him next time. are all the guys you date older than you or your age?
     
    Camp Kill Yourself, sweetie, don't let them get to you. Girls come and go, and then come back, then ummm... I don't know where I'm goung with this. XD The best way to not have a girl problem, is don't talk to them! ^0^ That's why I don't have a girl problem! Nor a girlfriend! XD J/K! Now excuse me sweeties while I go look important! *Hits same wall again.*
     
    @blastoise: Justin is 18..I'm 15. Yes, I have BAD taste in men. *slams her head against a desk* But we broke up when I was thirteen, he's just another annoying guy now. Don't worry.
     
    ooh! Lily knows of Spec's thread and um-

    Yes, she will shut up now.

    But anywayz...

    When I get upset, it's best if you think about it. Why are you upset? Is it just because one of the many problems in bleak society? Think about it for once before getting enraged. Just because of a girl or a boy? There are plenty of people out there, and that's the least of your problem now. Sure, you may get a bit disheartened after the incident, but remember, being optimistic helps you greatly in life. It seems less challenging and more fufilling then before!

    If you love someone, and that person doesn't love you nor will he/she ever will, then try focusing your attention to something else, divert it, OR try making normal conversations. That way, that person will seem more like a regular student attending your school. You shouldn't be that all worried or feeling melancholy just because of that one problem.

    Be happy for little things, grateful, find a hobby, and your problems won't seem as big.

    That's what I did, when I had some problems at home. I would just relax, talk to my friends more, and type a lot of fics. It did help me in fact, and I realized being so gloomy and acting that way to your friends fufilled nothing at all, only a deep regret. Now I appreciate everything they have done for me, everything I have so far, and I try to think about what I'm going to do before I get angry.

    Of course, it's perfectly normal to be fustrated at a bad grade, issues at school and such.

    But don't let yourself sink in the darkness more. Try and step out of the shadow and grasp the light for once.
