I'm still not getting it, Putin obviously treats the West different than others, way more hostility and paranoia, way less success at bullying. No one that's been paying attention for the last 20 years is particularly surprised that Putin's gonna Putin, but it is surprising to see him drop the ball this hard.

You have everything you need to be happy right now. Chasing a future happiness is a losing race that always leads to suffering. Things get better today, because today is all we’ll ever have!

Maybe I'll talk with the therapist about it. I'm doing one on one sessions with him as well as couples counseling.

The thing is, she hasn't agreed to more one on one sessions either yet, just the couples counseling. Hopefully the therapist can get her to go, cause i definitely can't tell her.

6 months ago I was working salary for a job for a company I truly believed I would be retiring with. However I found out that they were taking advantage of my willingness to be a “team player” and work 60 hour weeks giving up time with family and girlfriend who I’ve been with for 7 years. They even wanted me to skip my girlfriend’s grandmother’s funeral to cover a shift. On top of that I was always made fun of in meetings and on my days off behind my back and eventually started receiving workplace bullying. I was fired once i stood up for myself.

Today Im in a new job with a company (making less but I’m hourly) and they are one of the best companies in the area to work for. Sometimes it takes putting yourself first to be happy and take care of yourself. Now I can be with family and my girlfriend and have a bigger team Im working in so i can have days off and vacations. Their loss is how i see it

Roughly 4 months ago I was in prison facing 11 years. It scared me straight and I went into overdrive after being released early and the charges dropped. I came out with $8 to my name. I now live in an immaculate and beautiful home and recently started a job that I am not at all formally qualified for in aero space engineering. Ive taken chances and in a lot of ways been very lucky but I'm amazed at what I've accomplished in such a short time. I'm completely sober and weaponized. Looking forward to the future with renewed hope and a clear head.

This has been so very true for me… I’ll have 6 months of sobriety in a week and a half. Fully paid off my credit cards, lost a TON of weight, and in a much better headspace now. Can’t wait to see how the next 6 months will go 🥰
