Your life story...

If I were to write my life story, I'd admit none really knows me to be interested but if they picked it up and started reading they would never put it down!!! I promise my book would be full of turns and perils and villains and hard times and homelessness and personal struggle and poverty and crime and punishment. I have thought about this often. One day I'd like to write a book but I think I'd have to have it dictated. I am a great writer but I'd need to tell my story to someone who could just print it how I tell it. This would make it easier for me to remember everything I want to include in my book. I know how I want it to be formatted already as each chapter would represent a year of my life with the first chapter being 1-5 chapter two would be 6,chapter three would be 7 and so on. I know I could write it myself too though and I may give that option a try. I wish there were no difficulties in my story but I have not been that fortunate but it would make a GREAT book!

Life will be best with the complete package of happiness, sorrows, tears, laughter, challenges, victories.... it's through hardship that we learn and shape our characters - not only that, it gives me a feeling of completeness and satisfaction that I have succeeded in overcoming difficulties in life. Of course, it's best if the last part of our lives is filled with more laughter and joy rather than sadness and pain.

A life without any problems at all would be a very boring story! Worse than that, it would be a very boring life! Difficulties, loss, hard times and changes are all the things that allow us to grow and become stronger. I can't imagine a life without those things. I know that for myself, there are some hard times I could have done without, but most of them have only made me smarter and stronger as a person. They have also given me a deeper understanding of others that I don't think I would have had without them.

When I am in the rainy days, maybe I will want a life full of happiness only. But generally, I don't consider it to be life either. I don't deny that happiness is a good thing. It's just not enough to make life meaningful. Just like eating the food, a single favor can make us mad sometimes. I think the same can apply to life as well.

I have wanted to write a book like this for a long time but am afraid I won't have the writing skills I need to get it done. I have been working on one with heart ache but I quit before I get very far. I need to make myself work on it every day at least some. I am glad you posted this because maybe it will show me that I am not the only one that wants books that are not full of romantic love and happily ever afters. I want more than they met hate each other a minute, fall in love, he loses love to some small crises, and then they get back together and live happily ever after. those books are so predictable lol.

In real life i dont think there are ANY happily ever after REAL LIFE stories lol. If there is i think some are sugar coated. I know there is "something" that happens in everyones life. no life is perfect :) did that help any?

I am now 37 years, and i was leading a joyful life till 23..and after which i was employed.. and from 23 years to the present date.. i have been surmounted with loads of problems.. both in personal life and in official... I think that i have faced a lot of problems. Perhaps it is, the will of the God to give me more problems and make me more adept to the tough situations.

A life story without trials and tribulations would have no meaning; there would be no learning, growth, or problem solving. It would be like the dreaded Christmas letter that people send out with glowing reports on the children and their schooling (it seems like the children are ALWAYS on the honor roll and are too good to be true. You know the type, those who do everything perfectly and don't disobey their parents and definitely don't have an independent thought!) The author has had wonderful uneventful trips to everywhere in the world (and wonder of wonders, their luggage doesn't ever get lost either!!!). They just bought the perfect house, the car runs perfectly and they are the most boring people you have ever met. (Get the feeling that I hate getting Christmas brag letters?) Life without challenges isn't real, and it would be just as boring as a book that is all happiness and no problems and challenges to solve.

hi paid2write, i know if dont have sadness, difficulties then we will not understand the importance of happniess. I always wished to have a proper running life, should have difficulies but i should have solution for it. I am a sensitive/emotional person. I think a lot and get demotivate fast. that why i am affraid of hard time, i dont have confidence in myself that wether i will be able to solve the problem. i dont know when i will learn to enjoy my hard time.

I agree paid2write, if you live a totally happy life I am happy for that person but it wouldn't be something to write about or read for that matter. Anyway, the majority of people have some great stories to tell (even if they don't think so themselves). I don't know anyone who hasn't suffered some hardships, gone through their ups and downs etc. Is there anyone out their who has had a perfect life? Don't think so! Thanks for sharing that thought with us.

LOL Sometimes I would like to have lived without some of the hardships, heartaches and perils I've encountered, but without them I'm a pretty boring person, so it would not be much of a story. My ecstatic highs would even be boring to the normal person. That's how mundane my life is. ;)

without difficulties, sadness or hard time, you can not know what is happy life. It is just like without short people, you can not judge a person as tall. But the standard of hard time is different for people. Some happy persons judge the bad time as a challenge and don't think it is hard time. And some sad people think they are living in the world full of sadness and bad things, and they are experiencing bad things every second. Have a low threshold of sadness and difficulties, and overcome it when it appears, you will be happy all the time.
