When all things come to a dead end, where nothing makes sense anymore...just look up there and say, "It's destined."
Re:The Jokes on me? AloneandCold: Somehow the idea that my life was destined to have been this way does not make me feel better. If we all had price tags on our worth as people mine would reach a little too far into the negative.
Re:The Jokes on me? johnnylaw76: Hey BANM...I too used to think that I was just the butt of some cruel joke that someone was playing on me. I thought about it a little more, and here's my take on it. God is not laughing at us...he is challenging us, and for whatever reason, one that I might never know, my ex and I were not meant to be together. Its not something I could change or control, so I had to finally accept it and try and move on. I don't believe too much in destiny, because we have too many conscious choices that we make in life. I am not overly religious, but I do not think any of us are here because God chose to punish us, it just worked out bad for most of us, and where we go from here is the real test.
I know you must be feeling bad and the pain/bitterness/resentment/sadness can seem unbearable...but don't give up and look forward to whatever life has in store for you in the future...
OK, this is way more philosophical than I meant to sounds, but the bottm line is please hang in there, keep your chin up, and focus on the positive. We'll get through this....

Why does he need to test us? I thought he is all-knowing?
The future is what is unbearable now. It's dark and dreams had to be reconstructed from scratch.
Re:The Jokes on me? badperson_failure: im not religious but believe in being a good and giving person
i think ive given to people in such a way that ive ended up feeling really burned and have not learned how to give in a way that makes me comfortable with myself
anyways....i dont feel like anyone's playing a joke on me so much that i just needed to have been gotten through to about how to view life
all i ever wanted was a best friend and a first love forever
there 2 were amazing people who wanted to be that for me but i didnt value it and lost it
i destroyed it with my way of thinking and acting and not having an ingrained belief system of goodness not hurtness
life seems pointless now except for an impossible challenge of starting over
30, got what i ever wanted but didnt know how to cope and grow with the realities of it
my life is a ridiculous failure. i had potential from inside and out to have what i wanted.
and i know how to look at things and im not going to kill myself....but i want to just be my kitty and sit on my x's lap and be stroked
