Does your life look like a soap opera?

My life is super boring. Just plain and regular. Nothing spectacular ever happens. For awhile things were chaotic, but not anymore. Most days, it's the same old thing. But, that's the life of a stay at home mom. It's fun, but boring. But, one of my friends has a life that resembles a soap opera. She is always going through some type of chaos with her relatives. She thinks her spouse is cheating on her. She's always griping about lack of money. And, there's something always wrong with her health. I guess some people have that kind of bad luck. Do you find that your life looks like a soap opera?

I think life is the reality of soap opera. Mine goes like this... most of the time it's super boring, there are days it's full of adventure, sometimes exciting, many times I'm in the ocean of sorrow or in bed of happiness. Though life is complicated I still value it otherwise I won't be able to appreciate the goodness on it.

Oh Sorry to hear that. Well just think that it's better to have drama with your bf than no drama and no bf. Being in a relationship is a part of learning process in life so enjoy the drama. We never know tomorrow you'll have romantic drama. God Speed!

Life is a drama and we all are players in that performing our different roles in our life. Sometimes as a faithful partner, some times as a loyal friend and soemtimes as a responsible parent. Ups and downs keep in coming in life...life does not go on a smooth road, there are always bumps and tenches, gorges, which are experienced by me also. Cannot say exactely if my life is like any soap opera.

You concluded that your life is super boring, Plain and regular. Nothing spectacular ever happens. It means you need changes. You are looking for some thing new. It is possible to find new. You should go for outing, watch and enjoy the colorful life scattered around. Life of a stay is not a life. Life is a name movement. You should see the world with your open eye of your heart. There is lot of material to enjoy the life. If you could not see it all, then let me say that some thing is wrong in your vision.

With my siblings there is always some kind of drama. I try my hardest to stay out of it, though. That's usually pretty easy since I live 1100 miles away and don't talk to most of them all that often. My little sister is the only one that I talk to on a regular basis, so I just hear about the drama through her. When I'm actually talking to one of the others, if they bring anything up that sounds like it could be part of a fight, I just change the subject. As far as my everyday life, there really isn't any drama. Not any real stress either. I'm pretty lucky.

Oh yes, our life is like a soap opera. There is happiness, there is sadness. All of us have our problems to handle and to take although in different level. No one among us would say that I have no problem, financially, health, family, work, relationships, but at one point in time every one will be happy, some will be sad. For me, I will not just take things in stide, I will be doing things that will make things better. If you are bore at home, we at work at sometimes bored in the office. But we have to work to live and we have to live to work and be happy.

Well, not like any of the soap operas I've ever watched, but much more entertaining! I'm living rent-free at my brother's 'country house' in the mountains and I have a tent set up in the nearby wilderness preserve. Just recently I went up to my campsite to spend the weekend, and while I was gone a bear had destroyed my tent! Fortunately I have a second tent. I never took food in there or even clothing that I had cooked in. But I did have perfume and incense in there... bears have an odd sense of what's good to eat, it even tried to drink a jug of antifreeze... maybe it wanted to prepare for winter! Today nothing like that happened just my mis-adventure with a loaf of Ukranian Rye Bread... I was so looking forward to a tuna sandwich on homemade rye bread, but then when I took it out of the oven it was as dense and hard as a rock. I couldn't even eat it and it looked so lovely, all brown and nicely shaped with all the seeds on top. Bummer. I guess I need some practice.
