I didn't know where else to put this, I didn't want the spot light of a seperate thread. But all the same it's about sadness and what, for me personally, causes it. So I think this thread is the right place.
I learned something about myself today. Your own happiness shouldn't be dependant on what other people think of you, or how other people value you. This is what I realised today, and then I looked back on my life at the moments at which I was at my most content and unhappiest. I realised that the times at which I was happiest was when I looked out for myself. I don't mean that in an arrogant or self-centred way, I mean in the sense that I wasn't looking for other people to make me feel valued. I valued myself, and that's all that mattered.
Of course, I also realised that the times at which I was at my unhappiest was when I sought justification from other people. I mean, it doesn't get much sadder than only being happy when someone shows you some attention. It's not healthy to form dependancies like that. It's not healthy to put people on a pedestal as your one and only chance at contentment. It's not healthy to let yourself be used. It's not healthy to dwell, to obsess or to cling to a fantasy that you know well is just that, a fantasy.
I used to mistake confidence for cockyness and arrogance, that was a long time ago. Now I realise however that you should hold your head high, that you should have confidence in yourself. You should have a swagger about yourself, a cocksure belief. You should have a mentality of "Hey, you don't like me then whatever, I like myself." You shouldn't crumble and whine just because someone rejects you. As Lily Allen would say, "It's you, not me." Walk Tall (shut up Roe
) in other words, for want of a better phrase.
So yeah, today was an interesting day, I suppose I had an epiphany. A moment of clarity. Enlightenment. I feel a new sense of invincibility. As the avatar says, you can't see me. 0 -

So, to confirm my suspicions... God of War 3 is awesome.
I found it's great to watch but playing it was... less rewarding.
Then exhaustion kicked in, then Just Cause 2

I've been away from home for about nearly 3 months.
Moved home. Unpacked stuff and rearranged things.
Picked up one of the oldest and most loved teddies I have (a very very soft turtle!) only to discover a horrific sight.
SOMETHING had ripped it and burrowed it's way in (must have thought it was an actual animal with the long soft fur).
I'm guessing a moth or something that ate it's way in and tried to spawn babies :eek::eek::eek::eek:
The turtle has had to be disposed off. Gone forever. One of my oldest toys.
It was my friend

Truly sad. Poor lil turts.
As for the biased film critics, wow, I never thought the Marvel v DC battle would cross over into films. Generally I'm a much bigger fan of Marvel than DC, but you just gotsta recognise that Batman is an unreal character and those movies are really good (whereas the Spider-man movies have been big budget but a bit bleh.)0 -
