...... How do you be truly happy is what I'm really asking here...

Life is a fucking gift, be happy for that. You only have one chance, and you still have yours. Some don't.

Rb 26 Silvias make me happy

...plus flange, skids, guitar riffs and E-Series falcons...

But seriously.

Life is teh ghey, and it's a struggle - some people get it good, and others are teh suck at it (I put myself in that catergory), you just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other, come hell or high water.

What will bring happiness, completion and enlightenment in life......

Five hundred FRICKEN rear wheel FRICKEN horsepower would go a long way for me...

...and after that, a girlfriend wouldn't go astray...

Oh man do I feel bad now... I saw your name and remembered you never even got the exhaust from me all the while I've been listing every part for sale except it. It's just been sitting under the car the whole time. Many apologies. Check your PM.

But anyway, how intense. I never thought I would see the day, but it's sometimes easier to vent/spill and trust a forum full of people you've (mostly) never met. If it's what keeps you ticking instead of bottling it all up; go for it.

Everyone goes through ups-and-downs. I went through a couple of pretty shitty times in the past couple of years, but everything eventually evens itself out.

Don't forget to check your inbox.

ROFL, Rollin! Mmmm, 500rwhp would be nice! But I'm sticking to my 100 atm
Luke mate, no dramas bout the exhaust n all. I've replied to ur PM n we should be able to work something out with that.
And I do trust the ppl on this forum however it's not my last/only resort, no

depite much of the advice being harsh, you have to take it.. while it was a thought provoking read, you have to "harden the **** up", "Family, mates, booze, burnouts and sluts. That is the meaning of life." etc etc..

everyone has been in situations where they feel real depressed and if they haven't then i don't think they can grow as a person...

but listen, when your feeling down like that, heres what I have to say. What is the point of being down. Will it really make anything better? Take the situation as a given, you cannot change it, that is how things are. Now do your best to rectify it, make things better for yourself, move on, forget about it.

Laugh now cry later, laugh and the world will laugh with you, weep and you weep alone........

go and read the sun tzu maybe, it is probably the best pieces of art ever IMO.
without crapping on too much, i'll quote:

"the rearing serpent sports in the mists
the flying dragon rides on the clouds
but when the clouds are gone and the mists have cleared
they are no different from earthworms"

situations come and go, make the best of them so you may enjoy life..

"there is a plant in the western regions called the blackberry lily. its stem in four inches long, but because it grows atop tall mountains, it looks down into a thousand-foot abyss"

take the advice, harden up, move on, dont cry about it becuase it will get you nowhere...

This makes it a bit harder to get people to read cause I'm not yet a very active member...but here goes.

Just to chip in my 2 cents, my old man died not too long ago, gf stabbed me in the back in the most of emotional situations (obviously not literally), lost pretty much all my mates, my mother now is 'feeling her age', threats, fucked up my education etc.

Not great stuff, but that's just the surface of what goes on in our lives. The bunch of guys crackin jokes at your expense may have their own way of coping with their stresses - but we are individuals who are unique because not one of us thinks the same way, in addition to other characteristics. What helps others might not apply to someone else.

I know for me, I took time off everything and just sat on my ass. Reflecting on what had happened, what this meant, what is gonna happen, etc. Really letting it hit hard, because if you fight it it'll just go on longer, and even worse it'll build up. Why keep a strong face - it's wasted energy to maintain this stupid macho-esque stereotype that males are bold and tough and nothing can phase them, that we are tanks and we can walk through fire and ice and still be wanting more bullshit.

What I've come to, is that life/love/anything is really like a rollercoaster ride. It has its highs and lows, but...remember after every low there is a high. Question that phases everyone is how long it'll be until the high does come. (if you got the image of drug use that wasn't what I was after lol)

Cruise through the highs, fight through the lows. No one said you had to do it alone - getting back up to the top can involve talking to others, and in serious cases to medical professionals. If you fall, take a good hard look at the way you've already come and the hardships you've had to experience to get to the point where you are. It'll be pointless to let it all go to waste. I don't know you personally but I get the impression that you are who you are for something a bit more than "booze, burnouts, sluts, etc". Like I said, something that works for a particular person may not work for another.

EDIT: after re-reading your first post...yeah I rkn you are after something more than mediocrity (sp?).

You never know what life will throw at ya next, but you can still take time out to get yourself together again in between.

Happiness...is hard to identify. How to truly be happy - doubt anyone can come up with a response that'll help you in that regard.

Only person who can find out how to truly be happy is you. Explore, communicate, create, whatever. I reckon some of us when we really think hard will realise we aren't as happy as we can be at this stage in our lives. Like the saying goes "Money won't hold you at night" (paraphrased coz I'm an idiot and can't remember the proper saying ). Why settle for second best? More importantly, why let the negatives interfere with your search for happiness?

Hell, I haven't found it. At my age it shouldn't even be crossing my mind, I should be into illegal and unlicensed racing, eccies, random sex and wagging school, getting tattoos, smoking pot, passing out at mass rave parties, etc. What makes me happy at the moment? To be completely honest, I don't even know.

Instead, I'm going to uni in advance, I illegally drive up to Coles to get stuff for breakfast or stuff to cook dinner and nowhere else (I'm on my Ls still), I get into serious, emotional relationships...I validate my metcards for fucks sake! (I do have fun though - that's a different story..)

Take the stuff I've said loosely, but if it helps, maybe even to get some perspective then I'm glad. If not, then oh well. When ya get through it, at least you'll be able to tell yourself you made it.

It all boils down to this and other people have said it: live through it and cry if you wanna cry/break stuff/whatever to let it out, tomorrow is a new day. Make of it what you will.

Or just disregard what I've said, after all it's just my 2 cents.

(why are all my posts essay length!?!? argh..)

[G3R3N]

Despite the essay-length post, Im very glad theres someone who seems right on the money in terms of what I said in the first post.
Neo, I have found myself to be doing what ur saying. There've been burnouts, there been lots of drinks etc since what happened with work n blah blah...
So yeah, I guess if what you mean is turning a new leaf, then yeah I see that.
