what is the real life for u personal

I was discussing about icecream today with friends,because they suggested me to find some hobbies, and now i had none, except the interest of icecream....

one friend prefers chocolate, another prefers greentea or strawberry ....
I feel life is also the same, different people feel different. some feel life is sweet, some feel is bitter,
and the reason me and other depressed people taste bitter and trauma of life is because devils stole those feelings from us, so finally we actually had no life.

I do not really want a clear answer of this thread...i would love to read any feelings of life, and i would like to know what life really is to your personal...thanks

Life is only existing at this point. Trauma takes away our hopes and and dreams and we spent years to dare to dream or hopw agian. For some this might already be too late... In the meantime, we are like robots, existing one day just so we can have another.

What is life to me? most of the time a gift. I have two terminal physical health deseases which so far I an winning a battle against by remaining in cancer free remission and not in organ failure. I got handed alot of lemons in my life and sometimes they start to overwhelm me but for the most part I believe life is what you make it. like someone once told me -

"When we make our lemonade out of the lemons life hands us we need to remember its our attitude that makes it sweet." Jean Darby Cline

Belief in devils necessitates belief in an opposite that can recover the good things. Everyone has bitterness and trauma, no one gets exactly what they want, how they want it with no pain or suffering.

When I get to feeling bad I make something up. I'm creative/imaginative and strong-willed so can wrestle my thinking around to where I'm facing a different direction. I have so many things that can be worked on/fixed that I never run out of directions to face. If I can't solve "this" problem at the moment I twiddle with a different one for a bit, see if I can make headway on it. It's like doing a crossword puzzle where I get one answer and that helps me with a connecting one, etc. and sometimes I ask people around me for help and they help with one and eventually the puzzle will get solved. Life though is a really large puzzle :-)

Life to me brings to mind "defeat". I have always picked myself up, brushed myself off, and moved forward. When I crashed (even to this day I am not sure what happened to me) I just know life has never been the same. Maybe since the T didn't know how I was before I crashed he didn't really understand me and where I was coming from. All I can say is all his digging up of all the God awful stuff that happened to me as a result of "MY" choices only left me defeated and filled with shame. If I fall under any more "statistics" of failure, abuse or whatever I will surely scream. I have never abused anyone in my life, yet I feel ashamed for being a victim of abuse and therapy left me with feeling I deserved nothing better. I have always been a "doer" and a "giver" yet I have nothing left to offer or give. Life consumed me. So real life to me means shame and defeat. A victim..

Life, to me, is an Adventure! I never know what tomorrow will bring, something wild, something exciting, something new, or even if tomorrow will come. I seek it and embrace it..It doesn't mean that everyday is all sunshine and roses..I know that it rains, often downpours, too. I think of life as a playground! I used to be so scared of life. Now, I have fun with life. I live life as if today might be my last!

Life to me is like a game. Sometimes it's fun and enjoyable and I am on the winning team. Other times, I am on the losing team, all and all though I am a good sport. Lisa
