I was 39 years old. It took a good solid 15 years of being beat down by fate, thinking things can't get worse and being proven wrong, to learn that you have to enjoy the brief moments between getting kicked in the junk if you want to have any happiness in life.

I hear you man. I too know how that feels. I had to learn it the way you did at pretty much the same age. It's better once you accept that happiness comes in fleeting moments rather than continue to believe in the bullshit hopes and dreams we are fed throughout life. It makes you more realistic and honest about life. Understanding this makes it good enough to continue on. I don't have a bad life, but I do have a bad circumstance.

I just got out of a relationship with a person that was continuous negative. I feel so much better now that I can have a positive attitude without worrying about a black cloud in a few hours.

That's a shitty outlook. You just lay down and let life kick you right in the balls over and over, eh? I bet the amount of work you have to do to keep a smile plastered on your face in spite of all the bullshit is a bit tiring, no?

Jeez, dude. Ever live through a tsunami? Survive a war? Be a refugee? Just because you're getting kicked in the balls doesn't mean you're a doormat. And it sure as shit doesn't mean the middle-brow assholes you run into want to hear about it. Or, if they are the perverse NPR sorts who make a holiday of other people's misery, you don't need their pity. There's a lot of shit that can happen that makes you wonder if you were really lucky to survive. But a good coffee is still good, a cool breeze is still refreshing.
