Jan 9, 2018 i mean of course girlfriend dumped me, i f----- up school etc etc but it never hit me hard. I have loving parents, we are not poor, I have friends, I kinda know what to do in life, so yeah, wouldnt call the Ls i collected in my life 'hitting hard" tbh, gotta stay positive
Jan 9, 2018 lol kinda freaky to think about, right? That's why when my elders or mentors tell me they went through something when they were my age, I really believe them.
Jan 9, 2018 This post speaks to me lol. Very similar experiences. but my mother being sick all of a sudden and my dog being put down have really bummed me out.
Jan 9, 2018 Honestly it’s not that my life is s--- right now, but it just kinda plateaued. Like things got bad in 2016 and then just kinda settled down, never really got good again. I don’t really have anything to look forward to. I’m in college (and i f---ing hate it with a passion). I work a job that I don’t necessarily hate, but isn’t exactly getting me to jump out of bed every morning. I have friends, but they are all kinda doing their own thing. I understand that there are people worse off then me, but situations are relative. I guess I just lack excitement.
Jan 9, 2018 @Mikey good advice man, time does heal. I'm always gonna miss my McCloud. But as time goes on I'm more at peace. Btw S80 bow at the GOAT that was my dog.
Jan 9, 2018 Nice dog. I am a dog lover myself. I have a springer spaniel for 9 years now. It will be tough when he dies. But I realised 2 things are key in life experience & confidence. Also try to do as many things you enjoy doing as often as possible.
Jan 9, 2018 Thanks man. My dog was 9 when he passed away. Tough part was it wasn't his time. A dog attacked him and he couldn't recover from the injuries. But you're definitely right. Our time on this earth is limited. It's important to make the most out of life.
Jan 9, 2018 Life hitting me hard as f--- right now tbh, but I don't wanna get into that right now. Saw the subject of dogs, and yeah very little if anything hits me worse than when we have to put a dog down..it's just so sad to me. Part of it is losing someone who's basically been a family member for 10-15 years, but another part of it is it makes me real sad that the dog doesn't even know what's going on exactly...when we put down my golden retriever and they put the thing in her that when they pull it out, she'd slowly fall asleep and pass away(don't know what it's called..), she came back into the room wagging her tail, all happy etc and it just made me lose it knowing she was about be gone, and didn't even realize it. I have 3 dogs now, one of them is almost 13, starting to have trouble with his balance at times, hearing isn't as good as it used to be, walks slower and more carefully..I'm already preparing for the inevitable, just hope it's still a while. This dog means everything to me and the day we have to let him go will be...just brutal. He's also a very active, always on alert kinda dog so it's already getting sad seeing him struggle with that some, not being able to be on guard and be as active as he used to be. Still, for now he's generally happy and gets around decent, but unfortunately it's probably unlikely he makes it to 2019, or at least too far into it...I'd love to be wrong of course though. Why can't dogs live as long as humans? Ugh...
Jan 9, 2018 A LOT really, as a kid and in my late teen years. The second half of 2014, especially since August of that year, I've hit the rock bottom, everything in my life back then during that period of time was going bad. It was really one of the worst periods of my life. Not to sound cliche, but when you hit the rock bottom, there's really just one place to go and that's Up. Mistakes and problems occur in our life so we can progress, improve ourselves and grow up, that's the purpose. And I know someday in the near or far future, I'll be facing another big problem/obstacle(s) in my life. And I'm only 21.
Jan 9, 2018 I really appreciate ppl opening up like they have in this thread. It helps make S80 a family.
