You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life

I can’t believe what how absolutely beautiful it has been the past few days. It’s day like these that make it a pleasure to get up in the morning. I left my window open last night. I didn’t sleep under any of my covers so that I could feel the breeze blow through my apartment. It’s the first morning since I’ve been here where the alarm went off and

Everything's coming up Fish Pockets.

Are you Sausage Mahoney?
Only he knows that Fish Pockets makes me happy as a bag of wigs :-)

It has been a bumpy ride.... but you have done it!! Chicago.. apartment.. job!

damn... HIV.... I am glad you are neg....

You're so very right...and for the first little while that I lived here I lost sight of that fact that I was, in fact, doing okay here. I focused on how Chicago wasn't living up to what I thought it should be rather than how good I was doing here.

Happiness is all about attidude. Look forward to Mer coming, more money, better friendships, and a city with possibilities. You are better off with a clean slate and living without something life threatening.

Cheer up ;)

I am quite fine now :-) It just took me a few days/weeks to get here. This entire post was just a giant "fuck you" to everything that I've let make me feel bad the last couple weeks. :-)
Actually, I don't think I've ever felt better!

thank you for writing this... it really hit me. I'm in the process of picking up my pieces. And as much as I feel like nothing is where I thought it would be a year ago, in many ways, things are better than I thought they would be when it first all began to fall apart.

I needed it to fall apart. I needed to be able to reassemble the pieces in a different pattern. It's coming together now, but I need to have more fun.

Your journal entry is the 3rd thing I've come across this morning that has told me to pay attention to the joy in my life and move toward it. And it's not even 8 am. There's a pattern here... I get it!

Thanks again :-)

I've realized that sometimes things need to fall apart completely so a life can be rebuilt without all the baggage of what was before.
Hmm...there seems to be something go around where a lot of people I know are reorganizing and moving on with their lives...welcome to the club! :-)
We'll have to get together sometime...I don't know about a good time but it'll at least be interesting!

This is an awesome entry.

[dobynumber5]

maybe an awesome entry is a byproduct of me being serious for a change :-)
who knows, I hate talking seriously about my own life so don't get used to it...I'll be back to retarded-entry Doby soon enough! :-)
