just like 😘

really liked what you said 😉

I’m reading all of you, listening, watching... I’m trying to stay strong, picking myself up after every single hit, and then I just wonder: "We've been burned so many times, stabbed in the back over and over and over again... how much more can we take??"

Where does the strength even come from for the next round? How do you find someone new to trust? Is it actually possible to lose your self-esteem this badly? I see it everywhere—amazing people, successful people in every area of their lives, just completely shattered and insecure because of how bad their dating life has been. What do you even say to them? "Come on, chin up, just stay positive"??

The secret is energy. You have to project confidence if you want anyone to notice you or actually succeed in finding a partner. We parrot this advice like mindless drones, but some people actually get it... yet they've been rejected and cheated on so much they're just shadows of who they used to be.

I'm still fighting, still holding on to hope, but I have to say... people I care about (especially my guys) are absolutely drowning right now. 😢

Please, please... spare me the judgment from the "cool" types on here who look down on anyone who’s lost hope or lost their spark... the ones who are down and just want to crawl into a hole and disappear... I'm not even talking about myself, really, just a dear friend and a few girlfriends... thanks, bye, peace... out

I smoke "grass" once in a while, maybe once a year. It’s legal here in the States. But never around my girlfriend or during the work week. If I'm alone or hanging out with coworkers (kids are at their grandparents' place) and nobody's driving home, we just crash at my place 🙂....we watch porn and talk about the ozone layer he he 🙂 .....okay okay, let's not talk about the ozone layer! 😢

Sometimes being self-aware is just exhausting. Being honest with yourself and actually having the guts to move forward... it’s a lot. Just gotta swallow the bullshit and smile. Ignorance really is bliss sometimes.

I actually enjoy scrolling through this whole thread because everyone here acts like they aren't just being total leeches to someone else... we've all been the parasite at some point without even realizing it 😉

hmmmmmmm .....

I once heard someone say life is like a river ending in a waterfall (honestly, that sounds way better in English 😉). From what I've gathered, some chapters of my life were absolute garbage, then suddenly things started looking up... right now, it’s just status quo. I'm telling you, if you only focus on the present, you might think your whole life is a total wreck, but there are good things waiting around the corner. You have to fight for your own happiness—it’s a DECISION, not just a collection of pretty moments... keep your head up, stranger!

thanks so much, seriously 🙂

Just sitting here on my floor, crying and laughing at the same damn time.....

Past month:

Got laid off—company hit a rough patch and they dumped seven of us onto unemployment all at once.

My guy is being a total jerk. Pretty sure he’s cheating, so I’m done with him.

Someone hacked my computer and racked up hundreds in long-distance charges I can't pay... now my phone is cut off.

A friend stabbed me in the back. Admitted she never actually cared about our friendship, just used me for her own gain.
(She lived on my dime for three months)

Every time I knock on a door looking for work, people don't just say no, they slam it in my face.

God, I don't know whether to cry or laugh....... it hurts so much, it's exhausting... but something tells me it'll turn around. Better days are coming. I pray to God every night and I'm holding onto hope....

I know I'm not the only one out there dealing with crap...

Thanks for listening.

just be patient.... there's a reason things are going this way, try to learn from all this

I believe in karma....... .cheers from redtinker2 😉

hey, I lit one up just for you 😉

it'll get better.......they say
