The past couple of days have been very strange for me. For some reason, I’ve obtained an overwhelming feeling of optimism and faith in humanity, which differs markedly from my usual pessimistic cynicism. Whereas I used to get cheap thrills from insulting and belittling people, I’ve learned that there is so much JOY to be found in just putting a smile on someone else’s face.

I don't know what brought this on, and there is certainly no circumstance in my life that could have brought this about, but I was wondering if any of ya'll have ever experienced anything like this.

Oh yeah, if there is anyone on this forum that I have offended in the past, I apologize.

That's good because I feel wonderful, like I'm alive for the first time. It's almost been a religious experience, except I don't believe in God.

Hooray! :fluffle: I hope your new view on the world changes your life for the better!

You fucking little bitch. I've spent the past week wondering why I was even bothering to get up in the morning because of everything's overwhelming futility, and I had just attributed it to my usual cycle of mental imbalance. And now it appears that it was just a matter of some dick (ie, you) stealing my joy.
Well, guess what Undelia? I'm starting back upward again, so you can look forward to returning to your old ways while I climb back up to fits of manic giggling.

Hey, I felt that way for la week too! I think we've got a vampire roaming the halls of NSG. Either that, or one hell of an existential crisis going on.

Sounds like someone's put something in your drink. :)

...A catharsis is a release of emotion, not feelings of joy...

Whatever works for ya.:)

...A catharsis is a release of emotion, not feelings of joy...
Well aware. I didn't really explain why I used that term.
It feels like a release, like the emotions that have been weighing down joy are gone. I didn't discover joy, I let it out.

Cathartic rapture then. ;)

The people I know best did initially think I'd finally caved in and done some sort of mind-altering substance. Well, except for one dude I know. He thinks I went insane. Oh and a female friend of mine who thinks it must have something to do with a chick.

Yeah, I wasn't my usual cheerful, happy self last week either. Hmm...
