Well, are you? Looking back on your life, and the experiences that you've had, and where you are now, can you say that you are happy with your life? Are you simply content knowing things could be worse, or do you feel like things could and should be better, and thus leave you feeling unsatisfied with your current situation?
 
I am happy, but like a lot of people... I wanna go back and do it all over. I think that's the hard part about remembering the past, (especially if it was good to you) because it will never be again.
 
I am happy with where I am NOW. But, I definitely missed a lot of opporunities in the past and wish I had made a few different decisions then. Ultimately though, I wouldn't be where I am today without those screw ups. So, I don't think too much about it anymore. Years ago I did, and it depressed me. Now that I am happy, meh.
 
I guess being in prison doesnt help. ;)
 
You have to sleep with a shank underneath your pillow. :csad:
 
No but I am proud of how I've handled everything thats come my way. I could be a lot worse off.
 
**** no. I'm bitter. Angry. Depressed. And lonely almost every single day. It's what happens when your friends are 2 hours away at Collage.


But...I get over it, and move on. I did that mopey ****. It doesnt work.
 
I don't think I'm completely happy with myself or the way my life is today, but I can remember not being anywhere near happy for a long time. Usually I'd be happy for a moment if something good happened, but other than that I'd be sad and mopey.

But now, I feel better about myself and the mistakes that I've made, and I don't let it bother me as much.
 
Dont be sad and mopey. It gets you nowhere. Trust me.

You can be sad and mopey on the inside, or in a car, away from people....haha.
 
Well now I talk to people sometimes about some of my not so great experiences, and now I can't help but laugh, whereas before I'd be embarrassed. I'm not where I want to be in life, but I think now I'm more hopeful than i ever was before given that I've learned from my mistakes and feel like I know what I should and need to do in order to get there, as opposed to before when I was just waiting for everything to happen and was disappointed because nothing ever did happen the way I wanted. It's like I'm okay with everything now.
 
No, I'm really not at the moment. For numerous reasons, but I'd rather not get into it.
 
No, I'm not. And it bothers me. I don't like not being happy because I feel guilty that I'm unsatisfied when there are people with bigger problems out there. I also don't like feeling as if I'm asking for attention.

So, when I'm unhappy I can't even take time to feel that way because I'm too busy worrying and stressing about the above.

:down

There are only two things in my life keeping me happy right now. Otherwise everything just reminds me how much things are **** right now.
 
Unhappiness for the most part is life. I have learned over time to be cool with that.
 
Am I happy in this very point in time? Not jumping out of my seat excited, but I'm not unhappy either.

EDIT: This topic and it's responses are getting me less happy! LOL :D When you ask yourself such broad questions like this, it will always ruin the mood because you can never get the exact answer you want, one way or another. You shouldn't brood over something like "Are you happy?" since you already know what the answer is. What you have to do is move on and attempt to fix whatever makes you unhappy.

Whether you are in a good situation or not, you will always want more. The fact of the matter is to enjoy the great things you have NOW, prepare for what is in store for you in the future, look at ways as to how you can benefit from the future, and regret nothing. :)
