Let me tell you how my life sucks.
I am 56 years old (God only knows how I made it this far).
All my life I've been told that I am ugly. In school I was picked on, teased, and even physically abused. I have been approached by total strangers who have told me how ugly I am. (the memories never go away, for instance once when I was in my early 20's I was at a neighborhood baseball game and a girl came up to me and said "I've seen ugly bastards before but you take the cake." another time while visited Nashville, Tn: I walked into a bar wearing a cowboy hat and the whole place laughed at me and said jeering remarks.. exp "where did I park my horse?"
Even as a man, things have not gotten better. I finally got married (at 47) and my wife has an 18 year old son who is a total nightmare. The only thing I like about my marriage is my dog (but even she doesn't care for me. when ever anyone comes into our house, she wags her tail, barks with glee, and is happier than a pig in shit to see them but when I come home nothing.)
My job sucks the most I have been working at the same job for 25 year (school custodian big deal right!)
I break my ass and get no respect. Let me paint a picture of my job for you. We have 3 lunch periods my boss makes me do them all alone. (clean tables, sweep, throw out garbage, ect) another guy named Louie that I work with doesn't even have to help me. He comes into the lunchroom and stands there eating, When I complained to the boss the boss said "why don't I leave." I would but I don't know where else to go, and I have too much time invested anyway. I would lose my pension if I did.
Even though I and my wife work we don't have a dime, Can't even afford to go out (and my wife would rather stay home anyway, I quess she perfers listening to her brat of a son, then going out to eat or to a show or movie.)
Everyone from my mother on down (I would say even my friends but I don't have any) ask me why I'm not happy. Ask me this, considering my life would you be.
Happy f***ing Christmas.

From today, starting now, begin to recognise and remember every tiny good thing that happens to you, no matter how small (i.e. you found a penny on the floor, the traffic lights were green when you reached them, you overheard a funny conversation on the bus). Shit stuff will still happen, but don't go out of your way to register these things in your memory, (why would you want to?). You can't change what's been and gone, so don't worry about that. Just go from here... The more you make a note of the positive things, the more they happen. Sue me if I'm wrong.
All the best.
Your life will improve the moment you realize life isn’t something to be endured or tolerated. It’s an experience of your own creation. Your thoughts and actions are the primary forces that determine the reality of your day-to-day experience. If your life sucks, it’s because you’ve been a sucky creator. But you can get better.
go get a life, ow wait, u don't even have one hun ?!
