An online affair but not sexual yet -- smoked a liitle dope -- started playing roulette, regularly get (not drunk) but well cooked, MISSING MANY MEETINGS (I think that is a sin isn't it?) -- and of course posting on this board is certainly a sin in the WTBTS eyes

What's my general outlook?
Some days, very happy.
Other days, absolute misery and crushing despair.
Most days, some of both.

I am much much much happier. No guilt..............no feeling that I should be doing more. As for hope,....................I have not a clue what will happen after my death. It doesn't really concern me in the slightest.
All I know for sure is "this is the REAL life" and I am going to live it and have fun and do all I can to help others live their lives completely, especially my loved ones. As my buddy Joy says, "the law of love" is the way to live. She exemplifies it, and I am trying.............getting better, but the Pharisee in me rears it's ugly head from time to time.

Happy Panda and Mr.Panda love Sunday mornings together
Since leaving and getting an education I'm definitely smarter. I'm more understanding of some things, less of others and I know when to fight about them.
I spend loads of time on the internet (ahem ... research) and on the phone w/ friends. Making arrangements for dinner, movies, plays, lunch, getting my roots bleached, setting up tutoring schedules etc etc. I have finally filled my time with meaningful, useful, loving, and caring stuff.
No one tells me that my animals take up too much time. Or that having a snake may stumble someone (I asked who and that I'd go talk to them, heh heh heh.)
Out of the WTS I have freedom to breathe. And when I give someone a book or magazine I'm sure that they want to read it.
