What's going on with your life?

Broke up with my girlfriend while in the middle of trying to buy a house and keep my head above the water with work at the same time. Fuck me it's either all or nothing.

Fuck, sorry to hear that bro. Remember usually this shit is a pendulum and it will swing back, but I agree that when the shit starts going wrong, it's usually a wave of turds our way, I've been noticing this pattern for a while, life has many ways of testing a persons will. Either by happening nothing at all, or by having everything happen at once.

I know it's overused which has made it kinda cliché, but Nietzsche wasn't lying when he wrote “What does not kill him makes him stronger.” Doesn't make it feel any less shitty though.

And yeah @[HP], when it rains, it fucking pours.

Sorry to hear that @dux. Nothing to add to what the others said. Any chance is just a overblown fight? 

Stay strong.

Cheers guys. It wasn't even a fight @blackdog she just doesn't have the time to commit to a relationship and wanted to take a step back. I said ok if that's what you want. What else can ya do? can't force someone to be in a relationship. So just gotta buck up and get on with it best I can and buy my god damn house

My best friend married yesterday. After all the ceremonies there was a private dinner with his inner circle. I did a speech there, which to my relieve, was very well liked. I talked with his mother for quite some time and it turned out to be a very interesting conversation. I hadn't spoken to her in a while. You know how these things go when everyone starts living on their own so you don't have to visit them at their parents house anymore. She told me that back in the day she was very worried about her son hanging out with me. She knew I lived on my own when I was 15. She saw the wreckage that was my house when she dropped him off and of course she heard the stories about drugs and crime. She seriously considered not allowing this friendship to continue. I never knew that.

But then she took the conversation in a direction I wasn't expecting and made me aware of something I never realized. She said that she was glad that she didn't interfere, that she quickly saw how loyal I am and how very well behaved and respectful I can be despite being involved with the 'bad' things. The real kicker came at the end though. She told me she was so proud of me. That despite being left alone at such a young age, with no guidance and basically growing up on the streets, I managed to sort everything out. She complimented me on my beautiful wife and child, my job and just really said that's she truly amazed at how far I've managed to come from nothing. That I really went the distance and won. Now that my friends, melted this frozen heart of mine.

Wow! 

You need to write a book about your life, dude.

Welp, my Phone finally gave up and bricked itself after just over 3 years of use, was a old model, galaxy S2 but I liked it. Suppose it's time to actually buy a new one.

Good thing the job phone calls are done with, best let them know however.

Thought it might be the case since you are buying a house, but wanted to be hopeful. Seems like staying the course is the best thing. You already have eyes on some property?

[dux]

Yeah half way through the purchase process. Her breakup has made things a lot more difficult to focus on though unfortunately.

I can imagine how it felt. My granmother told me something similiar, that she could not understand how i got to be "a good kid" when i had such a shitty past with my parents. It felt (for me) like a push to keep doing what i am doing  Keep going strong Sprony.

it fixed itself out of nowhere, bit odd but I'll roll with it.
