I'm writing this to express my gratitude to a few HoPpers who constantly surprise me with their warmth and generosity.
Currently, my life is in a topsy-turvy kinda mode. I left my draining yet stable job to chase the dollars yet things didn't work out how I had hoped (poetic justice?). I am now unemployed and directionless and having to consciously fight off apathy and depression.
In the last week, I have had some very special HoPpers provide me with the love and light that I needed.
Rozi dropped by my house and gave me a gift to make me feel better. Thank you Rozi.
Valura did a psychic reading for me, which has given me some much needed comfort and hope.
SpitFire sent me a PM just at the right time and gave me the opportunity to have a whinge.
Life really is beautiful and I am blessed to have such wonderful souls in my life.
Thank you girls, and thank you HOP for providing a platform for life improvement, which so many of us so frequently utilise.

I'm sorry to hear you're not as happy right now as you could be. I'm in a similar position, though, I try and think of being 'directionless' as 'having the freedom to move in any direction'.

Sorry to hear it's going a bit wrong.
Have I lost track or didn't you leave a money job to get a more personally fulfilling job, to then chuck that in for a money job? Or something like that. Anyway, if you're still unemployed and skint you could become a stripper again. runs away, very, very fast and far, far away

Dang Dom... that sounds like something I'D say!
I guess I really AM your hero.
Love to you Ms. Fire. I'm enchanted by the sweet soul you've become... I always knew you had it in you.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Dom,
I have two words for you, but due to the fact that I'm a mod and have to adhere to censorship on this site I'll have to restrain myself.
Thanks guys, I know that everything is okay. Your support and love is much appreciated. I didn't create this thread to get sympathy (although I appreciate it), rather I was attempting to give some love to some extra special people (except Dom. he's a poo head
)Now, to my trusty steed.
giddy-up!
PS: Dom, your summation of my employment situation is basically correct.
Lighting: I'll take the non-dairy chocolate and the passionate kisses, if that's okay? whoops! was I not supposed to mention that here?
Quix: the knowledge that I have the freedom to move in any direction can be as much a burden as a blessing...
Mozy, Gidg & Pink: thanks mates
I AM NOT A STRIPPER!!!!!

Oh believe me, I know it can, I'm there myself. But I'm trying to look at it as a positive as often as possible. I'm trying to look at a lot of things in my life that are double edged swords as positives and to be honest they all are. Or can be.
Hang in there. I hope things improve for ya.

I AM NOT A STRIPPER!!!!!
And I am not an elephant.
Luv ya. Thanks for the support in return for the tea. Am feeling much brighter and less off-kilter myself. So I will have to bring more affection around soon. It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...
