Well at this very moment i am suffering from a very common virus: flu and here i am starting a new discussion in mylot. Somebody asked me how my life is and i said it's complicated. Would you take this answer in the negative or in the positive? I see my life as a very complicated one since i have to go through too many difficult things in life but i am not saying that my life is not a good one. I am saying it's complicated because it's like a labyrinth, a puzzle that needs to be unveiled little by little. Now isn't my life interesting? I have never met a person who has so many dramas in life like mine. I could start three novels with what's going on in my life and each novel has their own happy endings too. Now when somebody asks how's your life, how would you answer it? Mine is definitely not a boring one!

Hello Catch, Well, what ever happened to that drama is in the past now. I guess for me that question is quite good rather than being asked about you're JOB. i feel happy as it is though.besides, in my case i got used to not being asked about things in my life though. we all have ups and downs in our lives but definitely secrets that people shouldn't know about.

If you are really excited about your life why didn't you say so? Why did you say 'complicated' instead? The truth is, your life sometimes puzzles you. it makes you feel awkward and confused at times. Sometimes you feel bored. But then when you solve those puzzles you take extreme pleasure and satisfaction from it. You love to think yourself as a problem solver. Life's problems are like some problem of algebra to you. It looks complicated at first glance. But then when you take a closer look and start working on it, it soon unravels the beauty in it. Then when it is solved you feel extreme happiness. But when you answered his queries with the word 'complicated' you were a bit puzzled yourself. You were feeling, in a sense, highly occupied by the complications. You didn't say exciting, because it was more stressful than exciting at that moment. To the person who got the answer, you sounded a bit negative. But that's okay. At least you didn't say it's 'distressful'. You didn't jump into hasty conclusion. That's your innate strength.

Indeed i am highly preoccupied with the complications in my life and it's pretty exciting that way. At 13 my life wasn't normal as compared to other kids at that age. I've been through hell and back again ahahaha!

I too share the same situation with you... I could write pages together about my life. Unfortuanately mine are not happy endings! I get myself into another mess even before i sort out one. And trust me, its none of my fault. ;) Im very sure i wont come up with a boring answer either if somebody asks me "how's your life?". :D I love my life... I love everyone in it... no matter what they are and how they are!

Hello toniganzon, I would take that as a positive attitude. Some blandly say their life sucks, sounds like they want to give up. It is an interesting way to see life the way you see them. If someone asks me, i would say it's just a plain looking life, nothing much special. I don't like to bother others much if something is not going right, unless it is a close friend of mine or my girlfriend, i tell her everything.

Hello toniganzon, Well, All i could say for you now that you must be feeling depressed because of the sickness that you're having now. every one tells their lives is a complicated when we all knew we make it for ourselves based on our decision. . I hope you simple take a rest and hope you get well. let us know if you have started you're new Life. every day we start a new, it's complicated too when we think of it too much.

Oh no i am not depressed at all! Even if i feel fine and not sick i always say that my life is complicated, but i don't mean to give it a negative meaning. But life that is not complicated is boring i think. All lives have ups and downs and i've been through a lot,but i am enjoying it!

Hi Toni, It depends on how you look at the "life". Until recently when some asked hows life - I was kind of giving out similar statements - Boring, as usual, nothing new.... all those kind of. Then one day I thought - why? Am I in need of others sympathizing with me? Do I need their - "Oh, so it this way, I feel sorry for you..." kind of statements? They dont make any difference. Ever since that day, I changed my statements and thinking pattern. Now I say - "Fine buddy, Life is rocking good and I am preparing for my long neglected future". I know in reality what I am doing and how is it going. These words keep reminding me that there is much more to get done and I should be on my toes to reach them. As you mention - ...A Puzzle... I love puzzles and it is real fun trying solving them step by step, inch by inch... Labyrinth (maybe) but it too works and is better than doing nothing and staring in the face hoping something/someone would solve it. Cheers, theSids. Oh, I forgot - Get Well Soon.

At first i wish for your quick recovery... OkY, my life is so simple, not complicated from my angle of vision but if someone views then a complicated algebra is standing in front of me. My life is full of incidents, ups and downs, sorrows and happinesses.... a rainbow. Like to hear your story. I have already written two novels regarding my life so hope i have some points on your story as well. Nice day.

To give you a slight view of what my life is, my parents were murdered when i was 13! It was a murder case that involves a family member. So it's really thrilling and and mysterious.

I don't like to explain myself to others. So when people asked how is my life, I would just say, it's okay. Well, in the end I have to make my life okay, with its up and down, so I would not be too disappointed. Lucky for you to have good life.

Hi friend if somebody asking me how my life - always my answer is better than yesterday. no I don;t beleive you that is the common response to you because some people thinking that always the same about life, full of drama and sentiment. About being complicated a little confused about that but as you said interesting to know he he he.. Sometimes being complicated and drama in life is the influence of our surroundings, our orientation and others - what are those may be what we are reading, seeing, and doing, it sound familiar to your doing.... see you around
