God Tim...did you come over and peek into my dreams last night, or what?

This is so close to what I have been feeling for the past, I don't know, how many years...

I wish I had someone to call mine..I wish I could have been someone/someplace else...wish that things could have been different or that I could have done things differently...

Sigh!

Yeah, well, I think everyone at some point in time wishes their life could be different. I'd like to have a guy in my life and not necessarily for anything other than friendship. I'd like to not have to drive truck to make a living. I'd like my wife to be more independent and not have to rely on me so much. I'd like to live in a neighborhood with sidewalks.

Personally, I think to be totally satisfied with one's life is the ultimate boredom. You have to yearn for something better, whatever it is. It's either that or go off to a monastery, temple, or whatever your religion has for a contemplative life and live as a monk; not saying that is bad because in some ways a life of prayer is a very good life.

Heya Tim,

I often feel the same way you do, but it comes and goes. It's an emotional slump, because all of us at some point wish things were different, whether it's the job, or wishing we had the ability to just take off wherever we wanted. And who doesn't want someone in their lives that you can truly connect with, whether as friends or more?

It's natural to feel that way, but try to make your life more fulfilling to the best of your abilities at the moment. Who's to say that you'll automatically be happier with your dream life? Nothing is perfect, or is what it seems. Plus, if you stay busy and try new and interesting things, maybe you'll run into someone special and not be lonely anymore. I think a long time ago you mentioned you were into martial arts, but have never taken anything. I say take a class! Meet a hot, buff dude!

*hugs*
