I have a question. Do you feel like you are where you should be in life? Do you feel at ease? Do you feel safe and secure? If not, when was the last time that you did? Or when do you think you will feel that way again? And for how long? Is life just a series of changes? Is anyone ever really comfortable or relaxed?

let's see... in order...
no. Sometimes, usually when armed or driving. If not, well... n/a. Maybe when I'm sleeping. next Probably 20 minutes in a row awake or for those 3 or 4 hours of sleep I get each night. In a sense. The blissfully ignorant and those that have been saved...

But maybe I'm just more paranoid than most...

Wopanese - Great thanks for your input!
I guess I shouldn't have said I have a question, I should have said I have 25 questions that I'm going to ask you all in a row :)

...here's my two cents...first one - yes, in fact, I'm kinda proud of where I've gotten myself to...second and third - yes, could be that I'm just a big nieve small towner, or that I really am lucky to be in such a safe and secure place (compare Canada to, like, Lebanon or Iraq...nuff said)...Life a series of changes - hell yeah, once you accept that and learn to enjoy the ride, it gets pretty fun actually, I try to live in the moment and not think too much about what the future will bring, and I've found that life works itself out if you do this. Follow your whims and see what happens!

No, no, yes, early '99, later this year, not long, yes, yes.
Embrace uncertainty, I say. Although I suppose I can't be certain about that.

Okay now I've gone in a downward spiral thinking about all this and the meaning of life! Someone give me a PINA COLADA!!

I very comfortable with where I am right now (no, I'm not sitting in a comfy chair). I think it's because I'm cool with myself. Shit, I don't know how to explain it. I've been TRYING to on my blog.

Life is change and how you deal with it decides your happiness. :)

I go between periods of happiness & confusion about my life. There are things I wish were different ~ I really hate being alone. But I have no means to change that at this time in my life. Only time will tell. I have several issues I'm trying to clear up, but every time I try to talk about them, I feel like jerk of all trades ~ tongue tied. I guess I just have to learn patience... but for this Taurus, it doesn't come easy!

I think the last time i felt all those things together was when i was 5 years old.

Christopher D. Bate said...

Maybe.

Calvin said...

it's funny.. everytime i get to where i wanna be, it seems i've changed my mind again about where i wanna be!

maybe i just need to stop thinking so much, and be grateful for what i have. :-)

clara* said...

i do feel good and in the right place, but that's failry new and it comes with a FINALLY kind of feeling. i still have moments of impatience but then i get a taco and i feel better,

Leesa said...

Wow, sounds like something I would post! I'll have to think on these....

Margaret said...

yes, yes, and yes, but i didnt for a long time...i think life is a series of changes...i think we as individuals grow and change (or the world around us grows and changes and we just stay the same)...and i am comfortable and relaxed when all is right in my own personal world...doesnt mean its all going my way, but when my kids are happy, and my partners are happy and life is rolling easy for us at the moment, even if just for a day...it works for me...

peace...

Security is relative. No one is ever safe. These comfort words were created to help humans deal with their terminal illness. Life.

Happiness is one thing, acceptance of your life situation another, but a feeling of security? That's ignorance.

We are fragile. And nothing more than a mouse with darting eyes looking for the end. When it comes, you never see it.

No I am the downer.

Blog ho said...

no.

Anti-Blogger said...

I did...just yesterday. Then the mood left me.

Leesa said...

Paul said...

did you watch Rock Star INXS yesterday? Your 'buddy' won.

Outburst said...

I'm comfortable, but I feel like I'm about three or four years behind schedule.

Some Random Girl said...

it depends on my mood. Everything led upto where I am today and where I am today is fabulous but all the shit that happened to get me here sucked! well, it didn't completely suck but it was pretty hard. but i got through it and I have my stapler to prove it!

Doyou feel like you are where you should be in life? No
Do you feel at ease? No
Do you feel safe and secure?mentally yes. monatarily no
If not, when was the last time that you did? monatarily never
Or when do you think you will feel that way again? never
And for how long?
Is life just a series of changes? and challanges
Is anyone ever really comfortable or relaxed? it's called XANAX

The Seeker said...

Doyou feel like you are where you should be in life? I'm so far past where I ever dreamed I would ever get that I've had to start looking for new horizons.
Do you feel at ease? Mostly
Do you feel safe and secure? Only when all the dishes are done, the house cleaned and the bills pained. Then I feel perfect. Otherwise I'm uneasy.
If not, when was the last time that you did? I also feel safe and secure in those moments when I'm wrapped up in a woman's arms and I can feel a life that close to me.
Or when do you think you will feel that way again? Soon. But, not soon enough.
And for how long? As long as I can maintain it.
Is life just a series of changes? Life is a series of paths and threads. We move along them choosing the ones that make sense. Hindsight then comes along and shows us what we should have done. (But hindsight may be 20/20, but it's not reality.
Is anyone ever really comfortable or relaxed? It's a state of mind brought about by endorphins. There are many triggers. Perhaps you need to find some new ones?

BTW - just curious, do you read my blog?

I'm o.k. with where I am in my life. Sure, I have "bad days" but in following the Buddhist path I am becoming more and more flexible with change.

Memphis said...

No.

And I can't recall ever being comfortable. I wasn't exactly a wanted child so I got off to a bad start. Maybe that doesn't count?

sinner said...

the simple answer to ALL of those questions is yes and no.

There was a saying,

"You can never step into the same river twice"

Then someone came along and said,

"You can never step into the same river ONCE"

meaning that even as you are stepping the river is changing.

Shinta said...

Most of the time I feel safe and secure where I live, but ever since I left my parents' home I've always felt that I have to rely on myself to feel safe, and that scares me. So basically I'm confused. :P

BUMBLE!!! said...

Ask me in a couple of hours... sometimes I wait for the end to finally come, and sometimes I feel pretty giddy. Most of the time is just going through the motions waiting to see if the things I do will allow an upswing, but alas, that's the existentialist in me, who somehow still has a shred of romanticism (don't read as romantic - I'm going with the literary definition) left in him from all of the angst of being "Gen X" or whatever the hell you call it.
