How many of you are happy?

[Rukas]

I was sitting and talking with my heterosexual life partner the other day (I then watched Mallrats) about where our career is going and stuff and about life and Ive been doing a lot of thinking about where I am at life and what I have achieved and what I want to achieve.

I have a long way to go goal wise, thats for sure. But for the first time in my life I can honestly look in the mirror and say that I am happy. Im happy with my career, Im happy with my love life, Im happy with the people I surround myself with, etc etc. There are of course a couple things that can be approved upon, and I am always moving forward and always want more (thats just the way I am, stack mo stack mo!), but right now, I am really happy.

I was thinking about it and was amazed at how in retrospect I was unhappy before and didnt even always realize that I was in situations that I was in simply for the sake of being in them but they weren't reealllly what I wanted. I guess change is a scary thing sometimes.

Which got me to wondering, how many people in this world are unhappy? And are they doing anything about it or do they just accept it as "normal?"

How are you all doing?

I am usually happy, or content cause I'm a naturally optimistic person and I know i could always be worse off like living in the streets, etc..

While I'm happy with most of the way things are going, there are certain things I'd like to change in my life. Academically and health wise. Slowly working on them both, but they aren't things that can change with a snap of the finger you know. Takes time.

I'll say I'm so so for now.... So so on the happy side though. lol

Love life = happy.

Career wise = not happy with what I'm doing, but i AM happy with life because its okay cuz im working towards a goal and that goal is looking closer with each given day.

I'm more stable than I was a few years ago and am satisfied with the speed of ish i'm doing towards moving to that goal.

I am happy, but not truly happy. There are things in my life that I don't appreciate and that is one of the reasons why I am not truly happy.

Happiness comes in small amounts. I keep reaching for those small amounts. You might be happy with your girl but you need to keep moving forward so you can get the happiness little by little. Same with your career. When I look at the whole picture, it's neutral. Some bad, some good. And that seems to be the case for the people who posted above me.

I'm unhappy when I have to deal with bullshit at work, but I am happy when I purchase something that expands me in the inside. I am happy after spending 3 hours cleaning every inch of my car, but I wish I had a nicer car.

It's never one sided with me. If I was happy, I would stop.

Love life = happy.

Joke?

i am so so happy. things are good in my life. but i could be living better, if i had the extra cash i could be on my own living. an if that happened that would make me a little more happier. (just seems i go thru too many trials and tribulations in life)

i know its up to me to make my self happier. i gotta make the effort

 

[SiGh]

Joke?

Lol, oh yeah, I forgot I told you I don't like relationships and that I like to go around like drinks at a bar. I'm happy with doing that.

 

[The.Menace]

I can't really say. I tend 2 say I'm unhappy. But well, I dunno. I feel good today and had a sick week, I'm happy....but knowin how I think and how dynamic my life is I might be depressed&suicidal in an hour and a half.

 

[ill-matic]

im unhappy right now. i go through spurts of optimism and "contentment" but it's only temporary and short lived.

not happy with my degree, content with my work for the moment, not happy with love life, not happy with some of the friends i keep, not happy with my attitude to life (DUH), not happy with how i handle some shit, not happy with aspects of myself.

i always focus on flaws, and barely congratulate myself if i do well.

im working to change this so i can be happy. step by step

Good question.

I don't know...when you say you're unhappy, people tend to think less of you, but fuck it. At the moment, things aren't going the way I thought they would. Some friends bailed out on me, some girls bailed out on me, I'm waiting on a court date, etc. I always thought I was naturally a pessimistic person but when I thought about it more, I realized I'm optimistic. When things are going bad, I always think they will get better. Like Jokerman says, happiness comes in small doses. I dose up on those sometimes.

Two interesting things youve said. I wanna know more about it.

Oh, and now we all kinda know why you seem to be a bitter person.

I'm so-so on the happy side. There is little fundamentally wrong right now and I'm enjoying myself. I'm looking forward to the coming 1/2 months, which will involve a lot of "kicking it" with mates. There are, of course, things that can improve, but I don't think that'll ever change much.

Oh yeah, SOFI, tell us about your court date! You do mean court as in unpaid parking tickets bank robbery fun, right?

lol, it's nothing gangster. I tried to get in a bar with a friend's ID, and the dude wouldn't let me in and plain-clothed cops were in the area and they arrested me. Most likely, it's going to end up a $400 fine or so.

Man, $400 dollar for wanting to have a couple of hours of fun.
