So, with all these threads about deaths caused by black friday, the reasons behind nice guys finding it hard to start relationships (apparently) and PETA, I had a thought.
I thought, lets do a thread where people can put things that make them feel good, a place to share recent achievements, things that inspire them and make them happy. Things that make the sun seem to shine a little brighter. I'll give you an example.
I am a student, and i have been struggling to adapt to my new lifestyle, particularly in the financial department. I was down to less than £50 for my last week of the month before I got more money and I was running out of food, my shoes were falling apart and I was starting to feel the pinch.
I had a job, but it was ticket selling for events. I sell a ticket for £12.00, I keep £1.00. I sell an average of 4 tickets a gig, and there's only one gig a month.
So I got another job selling tickets for a club. I wasn't expecting much, but I advertised the club night and got the word out that I was selling, I was given 30 tickets.
I sold them in 3 hours.
I got 20 more. I sold those too.
I had made £50 in 2 nights, and even had to send more people to my blockmates to get tickets instead as people kept coming to me even though I had no more tickets.
I felt amazing... Incredible even. I could afford to replace my shoes, I could afford to eat and I even managed to have a great (and cheap) night out at the club I worked for with loads of my friends.
That moment when I realised I had sold out felt like one of the greatest achievements of my life even if, to most people, £50.00 is nothing. It wasnt just the money it was the reminder that I can succeed and I should believe in myself more.
Sorry for the rambling, I just wanted to share that. I felt like I had reached the peak of a mountain and needed to share this achievement, but couldnt share it to my blockmates as they hadnt sold very many tickets.
So, what is your feel good moment, the video, the song or the idea that has made you happy recently?
