    I dont think is possible to enjoy life all the time, but thats ok. Thats just life, changes all the time. What id like to change is this "always waiting for the weekend" kind of lifestyle i have, because what i do isnt something i enjoy

    Get into some mid-week activities that you will look forward to, Wednesday evenings is always a good time to have gas.

    I often enjoy my life and I like my job and family but sometimes I wish it was BIGGER. More variety. More experiences. More of everything!! :mrgreen:

    I think that too much routine can be stifling and maybe that's why people get so bored in jobs that have rigid schedules and short vacations. As a teacher, my schedule breaks in the summer and also in between the semesters and I find that really helps.

    there are times I'm enjoying it but overall I'd say I'm enduring it

    i will tell you what works for me. (but maybe it isn't workin' for me) :? :wtf: zing
    writing.
    i used to paint.
    being creative is all i can do.
    art is therapy.

    i do not give a shit about anything at all unless it bleeds.
    i do not care if my car explodes or my electric bill is paid on time.
    however, if my car did explode, i would like that to happen in my driveway; it's convenient that way.

    i do like a stereo and a computer, that stuff does not bleed.

    i enjoy my life.
    my health could be better, that's all part of the self destruction not caring bit.

    overall i am happier than a lark with severe pain and slight depression.

    ppl need to love something. love someone. friends and family are important. so are enemies.
    it's simple shit.

    dude

    days are days, man.
    time is a bullshit maneuver created by shit.

    beer can be drank at 7:13 am on a sunday morning.
    it is a fact.
    never ever let anyone tell you different.

    sunday monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday... all the same day.
    seasons change in some places... that's it.
    sun and moon.

    that's what i love about truck driving.
    40 hrs a week, monday through friday is horse shit.
    living by an alarm clock is insane.
    although some warehouse somewhere does want their salmon delivered on time.

    mezcal shots and bong hits,,,,, monday onward.

    we are all different, this is only my opinion.
    again i do not care.

    I definitely endure it at this point. I probably have most of my life. I think maybe in my 30's I enjoyed it and I'm not even too sure of that.
    Save room for dessert!

    My dad always worried about survival and endurance, but, thankfully, his sacrifices helped put me in a position where I didn't have the same worries as him.

    I owe it to him to live a happy life. I try to enjoy life as much as I can. I endure living in a world where I often question peoples judgement/choices/actions, but at the end of the day, it's not really much to endure.

    Enjoy!

    Take it one day at a time. Find some things that you love to do each day or several times a week so you can fill yourself up to be able to endure the mundane parts. I love to hike in nature, so I have two dogs who need mega exercise, our daily hike is non-negotiable, I have to get out there or there is no living with my boys. Eat foods that you like, rent movies you enjoy, plan vacations to places you want to see....ask yourself...what do I really want, what do I love? If it's learning music then move forward with that, your job is to support your life....it shouldn't BE your life. It's nice if you are one of the few that has a career that fills up their soul...but for most people that isn't reality....so try to live each day to the fullest despite the job. Each day is a new start....what can YOU do to make today a good one?

    So, i pretty much endure it. I'm 27, and i have no idea what i want in life. I have a good job (IT), it allows me to be independant, but it doesnt fullfill me one bit.

    I want to do something meaningful and fun, the problem is that i dont have a clue what that may be. Like a month ago or so, i started to take piano lessons, i sometimes wonder if music is my thing. I dont know, i feel like i dont know anything, and that i know really little about myself.

    So, have you ever feel like this? Did you find your passion in life? Do you think everyone has a passion for something, or some of us just arent that lucky.. i dont know.

    btw, i dont feel down or anything, i guess i feel empty, but for the most part, i dont know... :|
    Life is a blessing, appreciate every moment. An opportunity to love another person and make others happy.
    We never know what we have till we lose it. Take a look around and try to learn from what others have lost. Everyday everywhere someone is hurting. It could be you.
    Fulfillment is found in just being alive and looking outside yourself and your own world.
    Do something nice for someone, reach out and love, it fills the day and your heart. That is the passion for life itself, loving.

    I try for the most part to enjoy it. Not to get all corny but you never know what could happen tomorrow. The only area I feel I truly endure is my job. It's just a means to an end. The only good thing about my job is we are helping people and I try to think about that aspect of it. But I work with a lot of petty people who make my job harder then it has to be so it's a challenge most days. But I have eliminated a lot of toxic people from my life. I feel life is too short to have emotional vampires for friends.

    I enjoy it and avoid getting frustrated with things I can't control such as space constraints on stories or lack of timeliness on stories I submit for the web.
