This is the first entry in my blog. I'm very new to LPSG and would like to continue getting to know everyone a bit better.
Here's a little bit about myself . . .
I consider myself very successful. I have a 3000 sq ft house, 65" plasma TV, I'm a published author, and have 3 cars one of which is my avatar.
You'd think I'd be happy?
I'm not trying to be pretentious. My point is that I have almost everything I want but I'm absolutely miserable. Money doesn't buy everything as the saying goes. When I come home, all I hear are echoes.
In my profile, I say I'm 50/50. I've never experimented or "let loose" the gay part of me. Now, after my second divorce, I'm considering exploring that part of me. I don't really know what to do next or where to go.

Explore your gay part. You may find peace of mind.Posted 07-21-2008 at 11:00 PM by D_Amyntas Lillydong

I couldn't have said it better. Money DOESN'T BUY happiness. We're not rich with Money, but we are soooo very rich with Love,Happiness,Compassion, Admiration, I could go on. :-) I do wish many times that we had more money that we do have so we could do SO much more as a family. But I don't think I would change a THING in my life. Right now, I'm in such a "Great" point in my life. I think the only thing that would please me more, is if I finally finish my degree. In due time,....in due time. :-)
Wishing you much luck and dreams MacGuyvernv

"Exploring the gay side" probably won't be enough.
It's a cliché to say that 'money can't buy happiness': ask anyone who's living in destitute poverty, and they'll tell you that money does correlate with happiness up to a certain point.
What I'm getting from this post, though, isn't just a lack of happiness, but a hollow self-esteem. Honestly, I can't imagine a person using the size of their television as an indicator of how successful they are.
I'm currently a director of a summer program for underprivileged high school students. The pay -- only $450 a week -- is minuscule. I drive a 2002 Dodge Neon. But out of the rising seniors that were in the program last summer, all but one went on to college, and four of them won National Science Foundation fellowships. I wouldn't trade that for a 65-inch plasma TV.
Explore your sexuality, by all means. But finding happiness in who you fuck is as unlikely as finding it in what you own. You've got a much greater challenge ahead of you than finding a guy to diddle around with.Posted 07-22-2008 at 11:00 AM by mindseye
