Are you Living a Life that you'd Love to Read About?

[FreyaGersemi]

I dropped 31 pounds in just about 12 months, and even better, I went from 29% body fat to 18%. It's a great feeling

Congratulations!! That is amazing and something to be very happy about!!!

Thank you. I definitely am happy, especially knowing that I will have total control over my weight going forward. The target weight for me (6'2") will be 190 pounds, and it should be relatively easy to maintain. That's the biggest challenge -- losing weight is one thing, maintaining a certain weight is another. All part of life's challenges.

About 40 years of it might be interesting, the last 10 or so? Meh, not so much unless you like dissapointment and tragedy.

 

[Yarglenurp]

Nope. I like reading about intrigue, dark characters, and totally depraved lives. I don't want any of that shit in my life.

I just got back from an adventurous vacation with my extended family including my adult kids and their SOs, set my feet on the soils of many states and four different countries (not a daily thing for most Americans) saw world class entertainment, ate world class food, drank lots of wine….yeah. Lots of writing inspiration in the last couple weeks.

Bought another boat and got it on the water this weekend.
Looking forward to getting naked and letting the sun warm us up!
The two happiest days in the life of a boat owner, the day you buy it, and the day you sell it.
On boat number 5 over the past 25 years. Lots of fun!

I think so! For the first time in my life I have an amazing work/life balance, which really helps the old love life and social calendar.

I’m loving the ENFJ energy here.

To answer … yes, I am. I may not have enjoyed every part of my life and I would definitely re-write a few parts if I had that magic pen.
But my story arch is so awesome. ((Looks at Mini-me)). Even and especially if I’m not the hero of this take anymore.

I think Mr. Rogers once said, "Sometimes, things just don't go right in the neighborhood.". I can't confirm that, but it sounds like something he'd say.

I had to Google ENFJ! Interesting!!! Here's what I found:

"The ENFJ personality type is Extraverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Judging, which means ENFJs are energized by time with others, focused on how they can help others grow, led by their deep empathy and altruism, and natural team builders. Expressive, social, and supportive, ENFJs are genuinely excited about life and eager to help leave the world in better shape than they found it. They see the best in people and thrive as teachers and mentors. However, in their desire to build and maintain their relationships, they can struggle with overcommitment, making impersonal, data-based decisions, and speaking up about their own needs."

Sounds about right!!!!

 

[SusanHoward]

Yes, but since I actually experienced it I don’t need to read about it. I’m pretty sure lots of you guys might like it, too….

 

[forgotmyantidepressants]

No, but that's OK. A quiet, simple life is the life for me.

But I'm a totally different person at 23 than I am at 33, so there definitely been some "character growth/development" lol

Remember this now. And then check back in, in say 10 or 15 more years...

I don't know that anyone would enjoy reading about my life .... but I am very blessed, grateful & content.

But the yogurt cover asked if you're living a life that "you'd" love to read about. It sounds like you are!!

Those pictures are lovely!! And judging by your screen name and your profile picture, you love the beach!!! Unfortunately, the sun and I don't quite get along.

My first 40 years were intense love, sadness, joy and heartbreak. My last 6? Calm, boring and very predictable. I would not change that for the world. After the dust settled and the chicks came home to roost, my life as a novel, ended. I can't be happier. Maybe, someone would be interested in my book, but I would never read it. I've lived all that once and I have, absolutely, no desire to reminisce. Even though I've gone beyond those days, I can still feel their weight on my chest. Jumpy and gun shy of all those feelings flooding back. Hopefully, more time will separate that life from now and I will be able to look back again. See it with fresh eyes. Not today, however. Not today.

My wife has always been drawn to romantic and adventurous stories, and I’ve encouraged her to embrace that part of herself whenever the opportunity arises. We’ve explored various things together that some might find unconventional, but they’ve always been fun and harmless. Today, since it’s a holiday for us, she’s decided to meet up with a guy who was flirting with her last Saturday. I hope she has an amazing time!
