[QUOTE="Jeysie, post: 3964413, member: 51817"] I personally think the best way to relax and live day by day is to shape your life into something that *lets* you relax and live day by day. I'd recommend doing some navel-gazing and thinking about the things in life that make you happy... make a list of the events and situations that you enjoyed in the past. Once you've done that, some of the decisions you're wrestling with might have clearer answers. Not necessarily *easy* answers. For instance, from what little you've posted here it sounds like socialization is important to you and makes you happy. Yet you're currently staying in a place you describe as hostile, for the sake of a girlfriend you're not even sure will have much time for you in the future. If you spend all the time you're not with your girlfriend unhappy and miserable because you dislike your current environment, it's going to hurt your relationship after a while anyway. :/ But in the long run, any sacrifices/hard choices you might have to make will be worth it if you can make a life plan and end up with yourself in a good place. Life is never perfect, of course, and you do have to develop a certain amount of Zen to let some small problems roll off you. But it sounds to me like you have a few fundamental problems to try and fix first, and when problems are that big and you're that unhappy, it's *unhealthy* to try and pretend nothing's bothering you. Sometimes it's OK to be unhappy, as long as you use that as an impetus to try to improve your situation. The Serenity Mantra comes to mind here: Give me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference. Peace & Luv, Liz P.S. One concrete bit of advice I can give: if your best friends are scattered all over the globe, just talk to 'em on the Internet! That's what it's here for. :D [/QUOTE]
