Honestly, are you in love with life?

Pretty much, yeah. I have my down moments, but all in all, I love my life and the people I’m living it with.

Well the first thing that comes to my mind (especially at my age) is that it is better than the alternative! I believe that what Abe Lincoln said is pretty much true that people are about as happy as they want to be. Assuming your have your health, you can make of your life what you want and yep I like the live I have made for myself.

Don’t you???

I LOVE LIVING.

I love being a tiny piece of the great expansive universe. I love having fun with everything I can. I love finding peace and meaning in simple things like walking down an empty street in the rain or laying in my yard staring at the stars. I love people and trying to be a force of positivity in the lives of those around me. I love new experiences and new places. I love learning and expanding my knowledge of everything. I love drinking coffee and talking about music with people at 3am. I love riding my bike down hills. I love jumping in puddles and piles of leaves. I love teaching my nieces and nephews new things. I love sitting around fires on summer nights with good people. I love creating things and spreading those things to the world.

And ya know, endless other things. Life is too freaking short to ever be bored, that’s what I say. Never see tomorrow, embrace this life today. (:

I love my life, I have always found a way of getting the things in my life that I want. The only one who can live your life and make it a good one is you. If there is any aspect at any given time I am not pleased with I take the necessary steps of changing it to be what I do want my life to be.

The only thing I would change at this point is I would like to be in a relationship however if it never happens to be then it is no great loss.

it’s a challenge. It’s an adventure.

You have to be strong.

Yes. Although I am very tired today. I absolutely love life and I love my life.

Yeah, & you know what? I’ve a strong feeling it’s reciprocated…..which is nice.

Yes. I love life. I love living and I try my best to stay positive.

Honestly, not at all.

I love life more now than any time in the past. I don’t love things about my life, little details here and there, but the essence of living, yes, I love it.

Life is lovely if you live it as well as you can. I never believed in love, life, and every thing, till I met my love at 55. The whole world, while being the same! changed! love is grand, there should be more of it

There are some things I love but others I hate. I would like it better if I was able-bodied and not in almost-constant pain.

@graynett I know exactly how you feel. To know that you are loved is one of the greatest feelings in all of life! : ))

Sometimes the pain kinda gets to me, but other than that, yes, I’m very, very happy with the life I’m leading now. I love God and know that he loves me. I love my wife so much that I sometimes cry when I hold her or think about her. I love my five grown children and my 12 grandchildren more than life itself. We’re not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but we have more than enough for two people. We live in a great little town in Texas, a great State in my opinion. What’s not to like? : ))

I love the people in my life. I have been very very lucky to have the family I’ve got, and some of the special people that have blessed my life. I’ve been surprised by that thought in the past. I thought I was self reliant, hard and tough. I love nature and I love beautiful sights, but it’s the people that keep me going.

Absolutely love it. So much to learn and grown from even in the rough spots.

Love it in the sense that love isn’t always about happiness, yes.

What do I love about it?

When Morning Dew glistens on grateful stalks of grass. When the sound of my boys being sneaky and playing the Wii at 5 in the morning brings me out of a slumber saturated in contentment. When I look over and laugh to myself, musing about the fact that my wife is dressed up and fancy for the day, but sprawled and unkempt during the night. The subtle nuances of a fine, red wine that swiftly aide in making a horrible day into a comical memory.

Music, Art, and nachos!

I love the differences in us. Were we all the same, life and love would be dull. I love the fact that people complain about holidays as if their life is so rough that a holiday need be a subject of debate.

I am in love with life, and she hates me. It’s a confusing relationship, but one I’ve come to respect and cherish.

People in developed countries already have a great advantage over others due to where we’re born. Once you recognize some of the freedoms we have, it makes life even better. Other than that, I don’t know what to tell someone to make them more optimistic. It all goes back to the fact that we’re the product of billions of years of evolution, and we’re completely aware of it all.

Who cares if we’re worthless, let’s enjoy it while we’re here.

It’s been a hell of struggle the past few years.

I am wanting to love life. I’m trying to love life. I am in the process of making some changes, though, for the better. My feelings will change, if it all works out.

Yep.

At the moment, no. I feel as though I am going through the motions until my life begins. However, I am working towards the life that I want for myself and, whilst it won’t be easy, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes

Better now than ever before, now that I can finally be myself.

Finding it challenging of late, but I’m sure I’ll be back on the love ship in time.

No, though I wish I did. It’s so hard to find the positives in everything when most of it is inherently negative and depressing.

@stardust Until you get back on, I have a love shack you can frequent.

Right now – I hate it.

Yes, I’m happy.

Life unfair and brutally painful to most people and that is so sad. How can we be in love with such a life? Well having a better “Better thee than me” attitude probably helps I suppose.

But being alive is infinitely better than where ever it was that I came from and so I can really love that for sure. Also I love being a good animal living in this world packed full with glorious life hurling through cosmos on spaceship Earth. I love having so many questions about how and why we all got here, where are we going and especially the daily struggle to survive.

I’m really going to miss this place some day when I’m gone.

Well, that’s not how I usually think of it. I feel lucky so often, I get joy often. I love life, overall, I guess, given my privileges.

Hell yeah.

Yes! I love life! I wish I could live forever (or at least until the end of the universe—I don’t want to become a disembodied mind in big cloud of decayed subatomic particles 60 billion years from now)!

My life is both a joy, and a challenge.

@Blackberry You don’t need to tell me twice ;) All my Christmases have come at once

No. I’m pretty sure I’m depressed or something like that. Side effects of quitting drinking, I was warned. But I’m not suicidal nor do I hate everything. If I decided to try and stop my nasty drinking habit, then it means it’s because I think it’s worth it, as is life, and I do my best to recognize and enjoy the good shit. And I do find good shit sometimes, so that’s awesome. It’s especially awesome that it’s genuine, instead of fueled by the anticipation of drink or the drink itself. Kinda feels like I’m learning to walk. XD now if I can only keep it up. tripping sucks

@Symbeline Hang in there

@Symbeline Here’s another vote for hang in there. I love your take on things.

Thanks guys. :) Encouragement like that can help a lot, so I appreciate it.

@Symbeline – I have been there, find an AA group that feels like home to you. Keep hunting until you find the right one. Do not be put off if the first couple you attend do you feel right. The power of being in a group of live humans who all have been in similar situations is amazing. They will not tell you how to live your life as a sober person, they will tell you how they did it and perhaps you will learn from their experience.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say I love it, but I definitely wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Honestly, it’s kind of boring, at least for now.
@Symbeline Here’s looking at you, kid. :)

@Symbeline – Now that you quit drinking, you’ll have more time and money for other shit. Like KILLING ZOMBIES! w00t!
