Someone give me 3 good things about life/the world today

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
ok heres the deal im in one of those depressing moods; nothing to eat or watch or do; skint at home babysitting while all the mates are out starting off the weekend; slightly heartbroken with old radiohead playing; options for tonight include coursework or tidying my room, then of course i could just smoke my way through my last pack of cigarettes...then dont get me started on global warming or murderers because then i really will kill myself.

basically i know im being a depressing bastard really as are many people on these boards, it can get quite disheartening reading everyones misery all the time. which is why i attepmt to turn this around. give me something youre happy about in your life at the moment, or at least tell me SOMETHING i can be pleased about in the world today so i can cheer myself up.

thank you.

    Being absolutely convinced you fucked up your assesment for work, but getting 91% and being absolutely fucking stunned

    This wee Powerpoint thing that I got sent from somebody from my old work, just about how people are special and stuff, s'posed to forward it onto people who've touched your life and, I was like awww :blush:

    When you actually feel proper settled, even when you're skint and in on a Friday night when there's a 2 quid a drink offer on, when 100% of people say that your ex is a shallow and vincictive mare that you can do about a million times better than, when you quite like somebody and somebody quite likes you, when you start a new job that you'll really get into and the people are just wicked, and when you fall out with your family for the best part of a year, swallow your pride and talk to them and start building bridges.

    Ok that was like a million things, but I'm on a bit of a vibe justnow :hyper:

    The smell of a freshly cut lawn (I nearly said freshly cut grass, but that would have had a different conotation ;) )

    A child laughing

    And the fact that I've just had two years back pay because they fucked up and I've been able to pay off some debts and still buy myself an spanking new PC.

    That warm snuggly, under the duvet, cold outside, but you're as warm as toasty and don't have to get up feeling.

    Friends kid's (my mates 2 yr old especially) ecstatic that you've come round to see them and can't wait to show you the latest thing they've done/made can say/do.

    People liking you just because you're you. Don't give a f**k what job you've got, how much you earn, where you live, what you've done. They just like being you're friend coz ya good to be with.

    kisses and cuddles, and long hot showers. (good seperately and together)

    why stop at 3 things? i could go on forever.

    Puppies, kittens, baby ferrets (& my ferret :heart:), chocolate (even though i gave it up), smoothies, laughing at silly things, finding money in clothes you havent worn for ages, waking up to the sun shining through the window, tickling people till they giggle (although i hate having this done to me, oops), music, lay-in's, shopping (although this requires money :grump:), family, friends, being alive!

    We were having drunken randomness talking last night and this came up. I find it just totally amazing and unbelievable, when you really think about it, what women do. They can grow a new little life in themselves and bring it into the world. It must be indescribable that feeling you have of having another life inside you. :)

    Technically, sperm are living too (or so I heard). The wonderful thing is making a life that's human out of one that isn't...

    My replies:
    House
    Food
    Health

    And of more advanced thing:
    Several things to do when bored (though they don't always work)
    People to talk to and sometimes hang out
    ...And I can't think of a third.
