You are dead right (((mouthy))), a good life means good friends, people to care for and people who care for you - they make those tough times tolerable. Jehovah's Witnesses don't make good friends because they aren't allowed to be, they are encouraged to snitch and bitch and judge and condemn by the Watchtower society. When that awful burden of guilt lifts, no matter what your circumstances, well, it certainly feels good!
(((Amanda))) I know you have been through a lot of crap and a lot of stress recently, and so I so want to remind you that that you are very much loved here.

I have 2 options every day that I wake up:
1. Look around and see how everything sucks... how it could be better.... how nothing seems right or is right.... how I wasted my life... how no one understands me.... how I want more money and things .... etc etc etc.
2. I open my eyes, am glad I am still breathing, and go from there. I choose to have my glass half full, not half empty. And I never compare my life to anyone elses.
That is my life.

Or is everything is a battle and a major fight for survival?
Isn't this really all about perspective? Animal alluded to it in his post. Life is never easy. Even for people who we think have it so easy, have their own silent battles that most of us are unaware of. And there are different aspects to everyones life that make things easy, and some things are more difficult. This can be in part due to circumstance, talents, opportunities, luck...etc.
I don't know what's going on in your life Moe, but it sounds like you are in a serious funk. I have been there MANY a time. When you're that low it's easy to feel isolated, to feel like no one cares, everyone is against you, nothing is going your way. But it's usually not true. You just have to focus on what does come easily for you. (For you it's probably being a good mom, and a talented poet/artist/writer)And try not to view snags and hang ups as insurmountable mountains with battle-like consequences. You have to just look at things like something that must be done, and will eventually get resolved.
now if I could just take my own advice here...my life would peachy...ha! Honstly tho, I am not trying to sound preachy. Just trying to say, I think I understand how you feel, and this is something that has helped me to cope.

It may be about perspective... how you act/react to certain things and hurdles. You can just keep trying to jump the hurdles and failing, or just kick it out of your way and drive on.
Of course this is all moot, since no one knows what you are talking about.

I have 2 options every day that I wake up:
The glass is half way full or half way empty? Yea for lucky people.
For some, the glass if 5% full and 95% empty.
Life is not just for everyone.

Your perspective is going to determine how happy you are in this life and what degree of peace you have. It's not about blowing fake sunshine up your arse but rather, as Brother Animal has said before, *focusing* on what good you already have and what good is obtainable. That may seem simple, but it's not necessarily easy. Focus is important. Some people are naturally better at it than others. Others, like myself, have to continually redirect their focus on the positive.
If you want to live a life of upset, depression, anger, hate, rage and unhappiness, simply dwell on the sh*t that has happened to you, the sh*t that is currently happening to you, and the sh*t yet to come. You'll be a ball of twisted ugly emotions in no time and miserable company for everybody concerned.
