I love it when the OT rallies around someone in need.

Love the heart of the Southern Culture
Love how our humanity brings out the best in us when someone is hurting.


We have ONE life, use it wisely and love.
Don't ever give up on a relationship until you've done everything you can to give hope, love, affection and comfort to someone who loves you, because they need it, and so do you.
Never back down from doing what's right, because you might be the only one that can do it, and it you don't who will ?
Don't ever give up and give your very best, the rewards for doing so are greater than either you or I can imagine.

And call a friend
today they might really need to hear from you

Lot of heartbreaking problems in this thread....made me think of this
quote:


And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT)

Ill be your friend bro



For me honestly its not knowing what i want to be when i grow up even as i approach my mid twenties. I work construction but would rather be a financial advisor but not sure i have the wherewithal to go through with the years it will take before i can leap into the field, which is crowded to say the least.

Also sucks that i hardly hang with any of my friends. It's mainly work-weekend-work for me and the weekends are mainly spent getting

You and only you can decide what investment you're willing to make for the life you want.

But as long as its the life you REALLY want and YOURE ok with what it takes to get there.

Then move forward, don't look back, don't hesitate, and don't regret. I cant tell you how long it will take, but you will get there.

And once there, appreciate and help someone else get to be where they want to be

At this point I want to be an analyst and move on from there. I know I don't want to work in the family business (construction).

I'm sure you don't want to work construction for the rest of your life.

Don't worry. Already knew from both of my husband's Jeeps. Just made sure I had good glass coverage with my insurance. I'll wait until the larger crack starts moving more towards the driver's side before I get it replaced. At first I was all about getting it replaced ASAP. Then I got used to seeing the crack and figured might as well just wait until it got really bad


Damnit nurse, get it repaired so you don't have to replace

As to the thread, wow there are some amazing people in this world, I know that just by reading this thread. Like others have said my stresses seem so selfish. I work 2 jobs, fire dept and own a solo auto glass biz obviously. Neither job pays good but I love the work and it puts food on the table.

Sometimes I see post about people who make good money but are never home for their family and it tears me up inside. Mostly b/c I barely put food on table and I'm never home. Have 4 kids, 2 are steps but I think of them as mine. I got neutered and wife got fixed also after last one just to make sure. It sucks being gone from family all day everyday and even a lot on weekends not to make jack squat for money. I love my kids dearly and it kills me to come home beat up and tired and feel like I can't enjoy nothing. But damn, after reading some if this thread how the hell can I feel that beat down after what some of y'all go through? Lots of inspiration in here and truly remarkable people.

I'll say I never feared death until I had kids, well, never thought about death. Now I do daily, almost hourly, and I'm a fricking fireman. Seeing people who are young a lot on their death bed gets to me now b/c I worry about not watching kids grow up and I miss so much of their time. I run 24 hour shifts and we run our arse off at night and then sling windshields all day. Come home and just wanna crash. On the bright side my wife will be going back to work soon and I know things will get better. My stresses aren't bad, but i never, ever bitch irl about anything, this made me feel better.

Just school and life. I need to get serious. I'm afraid to have a job. Like how am I all of a sudden going to go from being a student to waking up 5 days a week from 9-5 just out of no where and do this for years.

The divorce. Been separated for almost a year, papers filed, we've both started dating.
But we haven't really figured out what we're going to do with the house, finances, etc. Just been on cruise control.
Plus side: Church, some volunteer work, and a lot of support from my friends.

My parents had me when they were 16. They tell me all the time I "owe" them for not aborting me. frick them.

We moved a lot. I have NO childhood friends. I make friends easily, but have but one I can really truly depend on. I'd kill for him, and vice versa. (not gay)

I think of offing myself a lot. I have a strong desire, almost an obsession to make others happy, some people will shite on you no matter what you do. I'm becoming more of a hardass mean mf'er with time because of this.

I can make women do just about whatever I want, and have. I'm a POS, but I'd do anything I had to in order to make it up to them...but I keep doing it.

I'm drunk off my arse and have said too much. Any motherfricker on here that repeats this shite or tries to give me shite IRL will pay. Cheers mf'ers!!

this thread makes me realize I don't have it so bad, especially seeing some of the shite other posters are going through. positive thoughts are with all of you

Graduating soon and knowing I probably won't get a job. Shouldn't been scared of taking difficult classes.

Exactly. Spend all your time trying to figure out and arrive at a destination and you won't enjoy the journey.

Life is what happens when you're busy making plans.

.

Same here. I work construction too, graduated from the cm program at lsu since i figured "if i don't know what i want to do, might as well do something that pays well, isn't too tough to land a job in, and i'm pretty good at".

I finally kinda decided that i think ky true calling may be public office, but i have no idea where to start. I feel like there are so many people suffering because our government, especially the federal one, makes so many decisions that simply don't need to be made by government. I feel like i have to try to change it, but don't know how.

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. You have obviously been in my shoes, because you just described me and my life perfectly. Sorry for your loss as well. I never thought I would be so sad and alone in this chapter of my life. Thanks for taking the time to talk (write)!!!

Been praying and relying on friends but it's still tough.

16 years and I might be having to start over without my family in a little over 10 months and it's 90% my fault ( no infidelity or physical abuse but I do have a temper and I express myself verbally).
