Where is everyone on this board in their life ?

[bearfan454]

Are you where you want to be in your life ? I'm not. Are you ?

[kalian]

1. Never asked myself that question....

its too dangerous. It can lead to depression and anxiety.
I am where Destiny has placed me. ;)

2. Hell no!

I'm working a deadend job while my 3.8 GPA goes down the tubes, but I have to catch up on some bills before I can even go back to school part time.

3. Is anybody ever really?

The human condition is to want more and better food and more and better ways to get to it.

I had many roomies in college who proved this fact to me.... To them I was like Jane Goodall.... (cried when I saw one of them use a tool)

4. Still puttering around the board, frequently spinning ones....

with all the other pegs empty in my little, plastic car.

5. Yes.

I am probably not where many (any?) other people would want to be, but I am thankful every day for where I am. That includes both the good and the bad.

6. here's my .02

i'm not where i want to be, but i still wouldn't change things for the world, mate! as the comedian dennis leary said, (whiny drip voice)"i'm so disappointed. my life didn't turn out the way i wanted it to." "NO ONE'S LIFE TURNED OUT THE WAY THEY WANTED!" he says some other things. "LIFE SUCKS. GET A ****ING HELMET." :shrug:

7. I am so close it isn't funny.

I live where I want (North Cascades foothills), I have a partner that can't be beat, we get our bills paid and we have food to eat. There are no fights in our house. The only thing that sucks is no work due to lung disease, but that too is my own damn fault. All in all it's pretty sweet.

Woof

8. nowhere near n/t

but at least i can say i'm employed and still have my (physical) health

[Bertha Venation]

9. with a couple of exceptions, I'm doing okay

I need to lose about 100 pounds, and I need to get my depression under control.

On the other hand, I broke all but one of the incredibly destructive patterns I grew up with (as did my sisters); I got through psychiatric hospitalization and with years of therapy became a healthy and whole woman. I am in love, married to the love of my life. We own a home on a little more than an acre and are surrounded by huge trees full of birds and other critters. We have the love of our families and earn enough to get by, which is all we need.

I'm a very lucky woman.

10. Wow , thats awesome!

Think of those extra pounds and blues as a self improvement project that you always carry around with you. Since its there, why not work on it?
I got my health, career, and bills almost under control. I'm politically active, although my political success has been less than I have desired.
I have no savings and no girlfriend, and about 20 pounds overweight.
Not too shabby, me thinks.

11. No, I'm a consumate underachiever

Graduated 4th out of 400 in high school. Got almost a full college academic scholarship. But then I slacked off in college, I've been chronically unemployed for almost half of the 8 years since I graduated (I do have a almost decent job now though), and I owe a ton of money to my parents for helping me out during that time so I'll be poor for a long time yet. Plus, women are afraid of me for some reason that I have never been able to figure out, so I'll probably never get married or have a family.

[SarahB]

12. Not even close

I had everything within myself many years ago to be able to have anything or do anything, but I was too dense and wounded by my unsupportive (that's an understatement) family of origin to see it. My life is utterly unsatisfying and full of many voids (emotionally and intellectually). I only have responsibilities. I'm trying to do the best I can to make things as I want them and I know will catch up career-wise, but that's about all I can hope for. I really don't think I fit with anyone or anywhere.

13. barely balancing

precariously on the edge of the abyss.

isn't life exciting?

:silly:
