Title: tell us one thing that makes you happy and sad at the same time
Post by: katia on September 14, 2007, 08:58:25 AM
for me it'd be the joy of dying and forgetting the pains and angst of this material world but the sorrow of thinking that when you die you will leave a lot of people you loved. :) :(

For me, it would be dying with the people I love.  Odd as that sounds.

My daughter is getting married in less than 6 months and I haven't even started looking for a dress.  :o

The children with leukemia I see at the hospital where I work.  They endure endless hours of chemotherapy and feel very ill after each treatment; that makes me very sad.  Knowing that some of them are winning the battle against this terrible disease makes me very happy.

Life.  If you didn't feel sad from time to time, you would not be able to appreciate feeling happy.

Child protection work. It means that a child may be rescued from an abusive situation, but it also means that they may be separated from the person or people they love. There is no right answer in those cases, all we can do is try and do the least harm.

Happy - splitting up with my ex-wife and knowing that I was finally being honest with myself about my feelings and who I was.
Sad - Knowing that I would miss her a lot and that it would be hard losing my life companion.

I had those feelings when we first split, but we're doing great, we talk every day and we're very close friends, like we've always been.

The beauty of real Music, talent, the absolute purity of a song.  It is happy to hear, but sad to know the end is coming nigh.  There is so much that can be done with music, a happy thought, or a sad memory.  It makes me so happy and sad to hear a true song.

Happy-Having the change to transition one day so I can feel closer in the body I should have been born in.

Sad-The complications that can come with my body type which can result in a faster death and the very high possibility of rejection from loved ones and going homeless.
