I don't want to get in your private issues. I'm sure you have serious reasons to say (writte) that. But... happiness can come from very simple things. The trick is to be able to see those things. I say this from a very complicated perspective; this days, I'm still working very hard, trying to deliver my work in time, still building a house for my parents (previous house was eaten by termites, I had to demolish it, it was like seeing my memories falling, teared appart by myself). On the happy side, my girlfriend is about to finish her studies of Psichology, so she is going to be (at last) close enough for me to see her anytime I want, instead of the actual visits every 2 - 3 weeks, always according to her activities. ¿My happy moments?; visit friends, play with my old cat, reading, walking, MUSIC, writting, and recently, being picked up for publication in a short stories recopilation volume. Someone ointed out this in another thread: time is much too precious a comodity to waste it on unhappyness (I'm not really sure about that word; sorry). Hoping that your statement isn't based in very hard situations, I can only say that I wish you can find something to be happy about, or for you to be wise enough to notice if you need more help that just pills. I have a friend, Americo; he is cursed somehow, since anyting seem to work ok on his life. 3 years ago, he tried to kill himself, mostly because a very bad relationship. When he recovered, his closest friends just realized how on that particular year he was more quiet than usual, and how little we new from him. And he needed our help. Now, we are not mind readers; that girl was poison indeed, but he never told us anything about it. That is crucial.

Nice observation Cucuna. Many times we are blind to how serious a friend's pain can be.
Stonie, I know it's hard when you are down. Nothing seems to help, and you can't imagine anyone being able to understand. Something I have learned is that nothing is permanent. Change is the only thing we can truly count on. Just remember, no matter how crappy things may seem, they won't stay that way. They can't.

All it takes to be happy is to entertain yourself in some way. Whether it's socially or individually, all it takes is some good entertainment to feel good about life or yourself.
Rewarding moments with other people are usually the most effective.

Do as Belew says and be happy with what you have to be happy with.

Has anyone seen Tom Cruise lately? I heard he recently commited "creative suicide", maybe he really did need those anti-depressants.

Been charged 70 bucks for a chemistry book I lost last year... tired as hell after yesterday's venture into a mountain river... four hour practice SAT test in half an hour... in other words, my life not related to music sucks giant monkey balls!  On the bright side, watched Maiden's incredible Rock In Rio DVD today, getting Score tomorrow and waiting for Taal and Happy Family to come in the mail
