Things to be thankful for?

[Walilamdzi]

Is there anything that you're glad about/makes you feel more optimistic? I personally am thankful for a lot of things, but I still feel very down on myself and bitter about some of the bad luck that I've had. What about you?

The fact that hard rocks, cliffs and gravity all exist simultaneously.

Yeah it's a shame; I was having fun. I thought there was a large crossover between .co and here, but that kind of thinking discussion isn't really welcome here, and maybe rightly so: it has negative connotations and people might think that the mods want us here here when they don't, and it's not like people want to be associated with a site that allows the "i word" to roam free, as this site is for all.

Tonnes of stuff, that's why I'm still here. I'm a glass half empty type of dude, but from time to time it will get emptier or fuller and that makes some days more bearable than others.

I'm grateful for whoever invented pizza and ravioli

And sushi and role playing games.

These inventions make my short life worth it every painful day

@RodgerThat Well, I had been going to try to change your opinion on the ideas you brought up, maybe the thread would have just continued to be back and forth arguing. I hope you come across something positive that changes your mind, anyway!

@Dead beat dad You always sound really laid back in your posts, which is nice!

@Youthanasia Yuuuum!

Cheers friend. I'm always open to new stuff so shoot me a PM if you like, as I can't PM as a new user.

My Parents, brother, grandparents and the rest of my family. Hurting them is the only reason I'm still here.

Whatever nature there is, fields trees, forests, beaches. Sitting in solitude with the sun beating down is nice. I haven't explored much and never really had money to see other nature places though. Agoraphobic most my life too.

 

[TheDevilsAngel]

I am grateful for my children and for life even if it not a good one at least i tryed it but id be more grateful if i could leave this earth......

 

[Wanderer_with_Death]

I'm thankful for who I am within myself on all realms and perceptions, I am everything my soul wants to be and more and I am thankful for having the abilitiy to grow and define that while I experience this temporary "human form". My awareness on being a multidimensional being is quite interesting and I relish in the lessons and growth I am able to achieve from such.

 

[EddieAllenPoe]

Music! Especially the band Tool. The album 10,000 days is practically a spiritual masterpiece. It's gotten me through many dark days. What else? Probably other people. Especially stupid people. They're like mirrors that help me see my own stupidity. Flipside, mature people who have their life together. They help me see how my life could be. They give me hope and direction.

 

[weargon]

Being born into a secular environment and never having my mind filled with religious bs when growing up.

 

[ArtsyDrawer]

I find it difficult, maybe impossible to aptly put into words. The concept and phenomenon I want to translate is very much real, I just don't know how to express it.

Another thing, I suppose, is my skill of imagination. I'm playing DND nowadays and it's... Addicting... With my current dm it feels like a serious, mature anime with bouts of whatthefuckery.

 

[Misanthrope]

I am thankful for my friends and my family who have stuck by me even through bipolar episodes. Thankful for them really stepping up now that I am physically sick as well. Or I would have had to have given up my guinea pigs. Although the sense of being a burden is greatly increased now regardless of what they say.

I find myself grateful to have a roof over my head and food in the fridge and clean running water. Grateful that however shitty the social security system is here it does at least allow me to survive and I have a support worker to clean up my puke. Guess I am also grateful for steam sales that allow me to game and distract from sickness.

I am also thankful for science and all the wonders of the potential it demonstrates. All the mind food it gives me and various hopeful thoughts for others in future. If it wasn't for shareholder value and oppressive economics and idiotic political systems held above all else it could really create better standards of living for all.

I am most thankful for my parents. In fact, my mother is the main reason I am hesitant on ctb. Living might be suffering for me, and I know that eternal peace would be my best cure, but I don't want to bring her through any more pain than what she went through in her life. She also lost her husband/my father around two years ago; losing me would devastate her, which is something that haunts my conscience considering that she's been there for me when nearly everyone else was against me. I honestly believe I love her more than I love myself.

depends on where and how you live there is so much to be thankful for, i wish i could respect that, but i never learned that way. at least i can try to change instead of continuing, but the big companies will keep their rulership...so lets do small stuff and hope the best

most thankful i am that i met a person that really seemed to care about me even though on a bit complicated way maybe? never experienced that. humanity feels like aliens or any other animal race to me, i hate exchanging views but with animals i dont care about anything at all. why whould THEY to though?

 

[toolateforme]

nothing makes me more optimistic anymore, but I'm grateful for quite a few things. grateful for what (little) i've had up until this point. grateful for my parents, they fucked up but they meant nothing but the best. grateful for my small family in general. grateful for my cat... music (quite a few artists releasing albums lately that I'll get to listen to before catching the bus, yay!), video games, books, internet, clothes, friends (even though I've had to cut them off), drugs, alcohol, electricity, animals

i guess i could keep rambling but I'm grateful I've gotten to experience and relatively enjoy my life up until recently.

 

[JadedGray]

My dog and music/movies/books (even though I don't enjoy them as much, they were what got me through life until the last 4 years). Also, art (paintings/photography/poetry) and the sights/sounds of nature.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

That my suffering soon will bo over..

No in all seriousness I am VERY thankful for how amazing and loving my parents are they are allways there for me if I ever would need support and they gave me the best childhood in the world.

Lucky you. I've had to delete the info myself and there's still bits and pieces of data here and there that can be really tricky to permanently delete.
I'm not optimistic about anything but I'm grateful I'm not in any worse situation than I am in right now overall. I'm really pissed I'm in no better a situation than I am right now also though.

Well put.

 

[Painpleasure]

I would say one thing to be thankful for is the ability to experience the "high" of orgasm through sexual intercouse. Sure, it is temporary and fleeting but then again so is life, isn't it?

 

[Santiago]

I am 100% positive everyone on this forum has things they are thankful for. However those are usually things of which you don't realise it until you don't have it anymore.
