The majority of things which have happened to me have not only been sad, but cruel and tragic. So I would say my life has been sad.

For the most part, I am resilient, optimistic, and am happy. Sure, I have sad and horribly depressing times, but no one is happy or sad all of the time.

Like it's such a horrible feeling. Watching the world around you and all the people in it easily enjoying themselves and being happy with their social interaction. And you're just kind of standing there watching them, longing to be a part of it but never being able to.

For me it's like seeing a whole alien world of splendour and joy laid out before me, but never being quite able to reach it. It's such a horrible situation to be in.


This is so much how I feel. For a little while, when my children were young, I did have some times when I felt I fit in (everyone is obsessed with their children so it is ok to talk too much about baby things). That was thirty years ago and I want so much to be part of the world again but outside of my family and work I might as well not exist.
