What happiness looked like HNT














Back in November I knew joy. I was in command. In control. Now? Not so much. In this pic I was sure that I had found my place in the world; that we would soon be married and have beautiful children together. I was so sure. I believed. Now? Not so much.

The race team won last night's sailboat race however and that's something. We kicked ass. My regulars will say "Eh, so what? You always win." Not always. Sometimes we get our asses handed to us. Kind of like life.

I recently told my bloggy friend Felicity "Your blog is so depressing! You're always miserable and bitching!" She was shocked. "What?" says she, "But I'm such a happy go lucky person!" Since then she's had a much better bloggy attitude even in the face of adversity. I'm impressed. I need to take my own advice. A musician friend described this as "Your Depressing Blog." Sheesh! Not so much! It's more like "The Blog of a Bi-Polar Bear." When I'm good I'm very very good and when I'm bad I'm horrid. Eh, what-the-fuck fuck fuckity fuck? HHNT.

But you're so damned cute and funny in person!

Humorous, witty, great conversationalist on everything from politics to religion. An incredible wink and an impish grin that left me begging to know exactly what you were thinking about.

All that and you have a depressing blog too! You're wonderful!

Bi Polar Bear? Does that mean you have a hairy ass? Not asking for myself, I'm asking for a friend.
Yeah, sure, right.

Happy HNT.

I hope things get better for you. Just remember that yesterday is gone, tomorrow's not here, and all you have is today. So make the most of it.

Happy HNT

Nice pic!

I fall into this, too. It’s all complain, complain, complain. Yet in person, I am happy.

As I once wrote, “I’m only happy when I’m not.”

Randi said...

I've definitely been where you are. Hope things get better.

Chickie said...

I understand sadness and loneliness. I do, really I do!
I am sorry for you and for anyone that has to go through it. I do hope the sunshine breaks through!
I just always try to make the best of a situation, and sometimes it is difficult. I try to look for a positive every day, even if it is the smallest of things.
Best wishes sweet man!

Happy HNT!

Congrats on the win! Dating is like riding a bike. You keep falling off until you finally get it right with the right person. Happiness will return one day. HHNT!

Everything is cyclical, you will be happy again. Just hold on, better days are coming.
BTW, I haven't been back here since you saw George Thorogood (going thru a little blue period of my own and don't seem to get out much, but I have done some back reading tonight), I am glad you liked him, I thought you might.
His hard thumpin' rock just touches something inside, doesn't it???
Hope the skies brighten for you soon.

Oupss... I'm late on my reading... You see, at my great age... I know now that we can't never be sure of anything... and it is the beauty of life somehow... You had something you 'thought' was your own due... but everyone is still free... and sometimes, the s.o. isn't as ours as we believe... but it is still a good thing, as it can only bring something better... Isn't great that the break up happened before marriage and kids?? Because, this is really awful...
I know it is not doing nothing about the pain... but at least, you can see that you have a bit less pain than you could...
And... from a Borderline to a Bi-polar, know that it doesn't last... the sun will shine again inside you... but there is a moment of grief to go through... before being able to see something good again...
Just hang to the certainty that bad times never last...
