Seriously, I hope it's just a little bump in the road, nothing bad.

Yes, Level I need to get out more.  Believe it or not, I am extremely shy in real life.  And by the time I finish the two job work week, I sometimes just want to be a lazy ass on the weekend, or at least one day of the weekend.  I view it as recharging for the next week's onslaught.  I'm good at making excuses too.   [8D]


I do believe it [8|], but I wouldn't let you be shy around me. I totally understand about the recharging idea, sometimes the thought of going out and doing anything makes me feel like I'm contemplating climbing Mt Everest.

Hi Level  [sm=flowers.gif]

I  have a baseline contentedness.  Perhaps i am not in a place that i would have chosen, say, ten  years ago, but i find it is the best place for me now.

I have my children and grandchildren nearby..  My health is not the best, but i am able to work part time. 

I save the word "happy" for those fleeting moments of bliss and think contentedness is just wonderful.

I smile more than i don't .. what more could i want ?

Hello reti *hugssssssssssssss*
 
Sounds reasonable to me, my friend. I would say I'm happier than not, and if I can get a couple of things straightened out, I'm might get downright joyous lol

 


 



SunNMoon -> RE: Are you happy? (7/14/2007 10:03:17 AM)

I say I'm happy. But I normally always happy it takes a lot to drag me down and keep be there for more then a couple of days. [:D] Plus life's pretty good just need to find a job that I love.



GhitaAmati -> RE: Are you happy? (7/14/2007 10:08:30 AM)

Im not one of those over-annoying always chipper people that got talked about earlier on the thread...but Id say in general I am happy. I have a house with no morgage payment, a new car with no car payment, three beautiful children (all boys, kept trying for that girl but I give up), A wonderful husband who is also my best friend and a wonderful lover...and he will do anything in the world for me...including learning about all this D/s stuff just for me, cause silly me after living in this lifestyle for 10 years I thought I could go marry a compleatly vanilla guy and everything would be ok...

Id have to say that its my only -non-happy issue I have. After a really rough and tumble ending to a 24/7 D/s relationship, I backed away from the lifestyle and decided I didnt want it anymore. Thats when I met the hubby and after 4 years together realized I really miss the lifestyle and cant keep on being compleatly happy without it. Luckily he's been around the lifestyle enough to be ok with it, we went out and bought all the basic "beginner" books, have been going to local munches and parties as often as we can find babysitters willing to stay with our three boys, and all in all he is becoming a rather good "Top"...I say Top and not Dom on purpose there.

Maybe someday he will be a Dom, I dont know, Im not sure if thats something you can learn or you just naturally "are".



Tarisa -> RE: Are you happy? (7/14/2007 10:12:39 AM)

If he never goes beyond being "only" a top, what do you think of that? Does he like it?

I don't think we ever run out of them [:)], but we don't need to, for happiness to exist, thank goodness.



litleone8620 -> RE: Are you happy? (7/14/2007 10:24:23 AM)

Generally, I'm a happy person, even if I don't always show said happiness. 

The only time i'm unahppy is when I'm stressed about something.

Other than that, I have no reason to be unhappy. I'm alive, healthy, I have friends and family around me.

Those are all very good and important things, and kudos for being able to recognize that, some folks take them for granted.

Im lucky in that having 3 years of a vanilla relationship before beginning to explore D/s together has helped us be able to talk equally and openly about most anything. He enjoys the reaction he gets from me when he "Tops" in a scene...and he enjoys the extra dynamics its brings to our bedroom, but he doesnt really want it to go any farther than that. He says that he enjoys the "play" but outside of our bedroom and fetish parties, he doesnt want a sub, he wants his wife. Me personally...as much of a pain slut as I am, I truly enjoy the "Top" in him, he's former Military and knows enough about the human body that he already knows a good bit about causeing "safe" pain...(ie: pain that wont cause permenant damage)...but, pain slut or not, I miss the mental dynamics that a true D/s relationship is built on...sometimes, during a scene, I "imagine" the mental aspects..I dont know if that makes sense or not..but it helps me..Id rather him become more than just a "Top"...but even if it never happens I love him and would never leave him. Nor would I go to anyone else for that missing part....



spiral23 -> RE: Are you happy? (7/14/2007 11:18:07 AM)

yep i am...very...many years ago i went through some serious hard times....now im truly grateful and happy to just be here...
...could do with some more work...some more money...a nicer car....some new whips..but im here.. i got fucking good friends in my life...people in my life who i care about and care about me...i got a few exciting things happening soon ...so yeah..its all good...[:)]



lilsubl -> RE: Are you happy? (7/14/2007 11:34:14 AM)

i'm very happy & content...i'm one of those people who can be annoyingly chipper...i nearly died a couple of times in my life & after getting over the anger, i have determined that we all have a choice, every morning when we wake up again, as to what our mood for the day will be...i pretty generally choose happy...i do have my moments of anger & sadness, just like everyone else, but happy is where i prefer to be...the ironic thing is that i was born with clinical depression & have had some horrendous bouts with it...i think of it as God's little joke on a generally happy person  [:D]

What you said makes complete sense. I'm glad you and he have a good relationship, and if it does progress one day to more than top/bottom, I'd consider that icing on the cake. [;)]

lighthearted -> RE: Are you happy? (7/14/2007 4:08:08 PM)

big yes.
I'm alive, I'm loved, I'm (relatively) healthy.  and misfortune has taught me how to be thankful for what I have.
I'm one of those pain in the neck optimist types.[:D]

I would distinguish being an optimist from a chipper-ite [;)].

Are you happy?

 
Almost always so I chose 'yes' to your poll.

Why, or why not?


I've made good choices and then met a man who makes good choices for our lives together. My children are bright and motivated, my grandkids amaze me, my dad is fairly healthy again and my dog loves me. To be anything but happy would be to disservice to them and to myself. [:D]
