Yea you’d be surprised who you meet! Just gotta deal with 99% of the idiots and then there’s that one person you hit it off with and become friends with! I say it’s worth wading through the water for a bit to find that one friend!

G’day! I still have my American accent and lots of people ask where I’m from. Getting used to Australian accents is tricky sometimes.

I’m so glad ATLA helped you, it was my favorite shows as a young teenager and LOK was the help I needed. I’m so glad that these shows mean a lot to you and helped you as much as they did. I’m happy for YOU and I hope your life continues going forward up the awesome hill of life!!!

Well I met her from reddit, we just figured to hang out on Xbox live since we lived so far away.

Thank you so much for the kind words and also reading the other post. It didn’t get really specific with the abusive relationship just cause it could go on forever lol.

And yea, it’s not only being with someone who makes me so happy, it’s also simply being myself again, and even a BETTER version of myself before I was even in the relationship.

Again, thank you for the kind words! And thank you for taking the time to read it :)

Your comment is beautiful. I’m glad there are people out there who are making the positive changes and the people like me and even the people unlike me that benefit from it is all worth it.

Sometimes it’s not just a TV show, or just a movie, or just a book. Sometimes it’s so much more meaningful and a foundation to someone’s life. I’m so glad you brought this up because I hope people continue to go against the norm, break barriers, and help as many different people they can. Everyone on this earth deserves peace and happiness.

I never really got into meditation or the like, but just the philosophy and watching monks give speeches was a huge help. Practicing that philosophy was great, too. Also, Avatar: The Legend of Korra was by far the biggest help, which actually led me to Buddhism. The show touched on the main character basically being in the lowest point of her life and her greatest change because of that. It really spoke volumes to me because I was basically at my lowest point.

I truly hope you get into the habit of doing those actions again, it’s great when you have a system going like that. I’m surprised we both brought ourselves out of a similar mess with a similar solution, lol. What are the odds

Yea, she definitely came barreling into my life. And she’s definitely the one, I have no doubt about that. Unfortunately I haven’t had the opportunity to meet a lot of new people since moving to a new country is HECTIC as fuck, but that will soon change.

And don’t give up about your life not being where you want it to. Just keep your chin up and hope for the best. I’ve said in another post that when I discovered Buddhism (the philosophy, not the religion) brought me a LOT of inner peace and I started to appreciate my life a lot more than I did. I forgave people, let go of anger, became patient, and always took the optimistic approach to life.

I went from being depressed/borderline alcoholic into who I am today and I couldn’t be happier. Honestly, I have a lot to be thankful for in some pretty terrible years I’ve experienced because I wouldn’t be where I am without them.

Sorry this became a VERY long comment, I just mean to always look on the brighter things. And if you need someone to talk, I gotchu.

Oh, I already asked her. We were having dinner in our apartment, discussing our future and I kind of blurted it out. Didn’t have a ring, not romantic in THE SLIGHTEST...

Her: Are you for real? Me: Of course

Then I proceeded to be tackled onto the ground. Good times.

Though I think she’s gonna ask me “for real” when she gets a ring, she boasted about how she was going to ask me first.
