are you cool with the present?

how are you doing in your current situation? are you happy with it? is it what you actually want or are you wanting a much needed change? if so, whats keeping you from changing?
for me, i cant complain too much. i have my own roof, a comfortable place to live. i have a job that pays enough for me to cover my bills and i have a chick that can be cool, randomly. i cant really say that im happy though...
im 29 and still living in an apartment. my job doesnt pay much so i cant enjoy every day life. well if you gotta pay for it, i cant partake. no shows, no movies, no fests... my chick is alright, but at times, i think of a life without her and it doesnt seem too bad...
i think if i had a higher paying job then most my "issues" might possibly disappear. i could afford a house, a newer car (my shits a 2003 and on its way out...). i would actually be able to do more and get out. thing is, im a high school drop out and would have to go back to school to get some sort of degree which wouldnt be a bad thing, i just dont know what i want to do or what i can do. im not that bright...
i think if all that shit were to change my relationship would change too. living with someone in a small apartment and being broke or barley making it can really set a toll on a couple.
it is what it is though.
how about you?

Better than I was a few months ago. Loads worse than last month.
Waiting for my head to slip out of my ass I guess... maybe I should start pulling.

I'm really fucking upset with the present. I need to move, to get back to the state in which most of my family + friends are located. Unfortunately, I simply cant at the moment.

Pretty much this. I've got a lot of stress and family issues going on at the moment. I have a bunch of fines to pay, 2 recent lung cancer diagnosis in my immediate family, and my work load at school is stressing me out. I also can't wait for this semester to end, so I can transfer to somewhere much cheaper.
Pretty much playing the waiting game
On the other hand, things could could be much worse.

I'm pretty happy with it.
I could use a g/f, but I'd have to stop jerking off ten times a day to get the motivation to find one.
I also need to get back in the swing of working out. A few minor injuries sidetracked me but now that I'm healthy I'm also lazy. About to eat some stir fry and get to it.

It means that if you stop asking yourself if you're happy or not you most likely will be.

I'm pretty cool with the present. Everything that ever happened, happened in the present moment. Make the best of it.
It's a rarity that I get angry over anything, I tend to resolve any issues that come up in life peacefully, It's a rarity that I find myself in a rush, I let my mind wander without fear, I tend to find humor in any situation, I'm honest with myself and others. I'd say I'm a pretty happy person in general and I doubt that's going to signifigantly change in the future.
I wish the best for all of you as well

I am certain I don't know which God prefers, sVs. I always hoped it would be dance moves... Maybe jazz hands or some other Broadway inspired piece of choreography.

As long as Earth revolves around the sun all while im aware, ill never be cool with the present. I have never been more encumbered by depression. How do you gain confidence to succeed if you fail consistently at everything you do.
The brief moments that my focus is on something other than my thoughts are nice.

Stop failing. If you aren't succeeding, it's because you aren't trying hard enough.

Well its actually more complex than that. I do try hard to be happy, but most of the time im left confused. Youre soposed to learn from your mistakes, then try something new that prevents the same mistakes from happening again. But if youre not even sure what the mistake was and what was done right, then how do you progress?

You recognize the thought patterns that lead you to depression and you shut them down early. Then you realize that shit worth doing is never easy and rarely goes off without a hitch and you look at each failure as a lesson learned and a step closer to success.
Try building something. A lego set, a computer, a car. Figure out how much time and money it will take, then multiply the cost times 3 and the time by 2, and boom you have a project. This will get your dopamine pumping and build some self esteem.

I think I could use more hobbies or something. I'm not sure.
I've found an amazing AMAZING partner/woman, but we're on a more or less weekend relationship, pepper in a weekday or 2 here and there, but I find myself lonely and bored and anxious at times during the week.
It bothers me because it sends up red flags to myself. How can I be happy if I get anxiety alone? Its nothing to do with anybody else, I believe it's just that I'm so extroverted that I crave other interaction and the only time I tend to be at peace alone is when I'm working on a gift or various project for somebody else.... So it's like I'm with them by proxy. People dont tend to understand this feeling of an extrovert. So it leads them to say advice that doesn't really help. Codependent comes up a lot, but that's not it... It's something different, but I can't vocalize what it is, which causes more frustration.
So, while my life is the best it's been in a long long time, I see things that worry me.... and that adds more anxiety to the issue.
I'm tempted to see a therapist, but, lol, I think the appeal there is just another person to talk to. It's gotten worse since I got home from burning man. I saw what was possible for me, but that's only one week a year. So, to get along the other 51.....
Hmmm,that felt sad yet freeing. "winter is coming", too.... Which sort of spooks me because it lends less opportunity to get out and socialize.
Anyhow, shroomery, thanks for listening. My present is great, just anxious.

I'm pretty fucking happy. I have a place to live, more money than I spend, tons of weed and cactus, sunshine almost year round. I can't complain. One thing I could use is a good lady in my life, but at the same time, I place a high value on simplicity in my life and oftentimes romantic relationships and simplicity seem to be at odds with each other. Guess I just haven't met the right lady yet.
