there are things that result in states of happiness currently in my life, but overall, no, i am not happy.  i'm hoping my situation changes next march/april and the domino effect that has been the last couple of years knocks over the last tile, allowing me a semi-fresh start.

I don't have a lot of material things, but I do have family, faith, and love in my heart, a love supreme which I find hard to contain sometimes, I just want to share it with everyone.

My only goal in this life is to project this love, if I can help just one person through a dark time, then I will be satisfied with my life on this planet.

I am happy.

My friend's wife is kind of a bitch. Really controlling, jealous, wants to go to church, wont allow their child at his parents house because they smoke weed, the whole shebang. Shes miserable 24/7. I want to ask her "whats the point of living so righteously if youre so god damn miserable?"

I see this a lot on facebook too. Everybody has such a strong opinion on what's right and what's wrong, how to live, etc..and theyre all fucking miserable. Its like a salesman at your door talking about his amazing shoe cleaning product and his shoes are fucking stained and falling apart.

Are you happy?




Reasonably... Eh. I have a lot of challenges on my plate but I'm getting by and making progress at the things that matter to me.

I've pretty much opted out of serious political conversation at this point. 2016 has been a sustained nightmare since the first month and I reckon a lot of that has to do with the election. Every four years, everybody in the country becomes a bunch of punctilious little turds. I hate it and I can't wait until it's over. I don't even care who wins anymore. Seriously. Just make the bullshit stop.

But bro,


you could complete the trifecta if you follow my program I outlined.



:lol:

not sure if you were serious or not, but I like what this thread is about so I'll cut the trolling and get real.



I'm generally really happy. I get in funky moods here and there, and especially through the holiday season (without fail every year).
Even when I am in the funkness, I know how great life is and how lucky I am.

Bodhi, I'm glad to see you're being real with yourself; you know what you need to do. you got this :heart:

The only things I still majorly struggle with in the way of my happiness are guilt issues.
I carry a lot of weight around with me daily holding onto shit I could've done in the past.
A lot of it has to do with my dad's death. I wish I would've helped him more instead of shutting him out. Other things too.
I carry the guilt around with me and it makes it hard to love myself, which tries to pull me towards depression.  Ultimately I'm good at distracting myself before it actually gets there, but I see the path it lends itself to.

I can't remember the last time I was happy for any extended period of time, even a day, nothing more then fleeting moments of it depending on the situation but then it's right back to the same depression I've always had.

Don't hide from your regrets, they won't go anywhere.

Work through those issues man.

I've kinda been in a nihilistic mood since reading more about the Clathrate Gun Hypothesis and the fact that there is evidence that the gun has 'fired', so to speak, and climate change in general, and seeing first hand the difference in the oceans in the last 15 years myself.





I guess I'm okay otherwise. I get really depressed about what's going on in the world and it puts all my emotional baggage into perspective and I see how little it all really matters...which is good. On the otherhand it also distracts me from truly being happy. Whatever, I'll figure it out, doesn't matter anyways.


Also the past week of my life and the next week are kind of a waiting game because I'm waiting to hear back from a series of pretty important interviews and they told me they're making decisions by the end of this week and I probably didn't get it. So that's certainly not helping.

I don't run from my guilt, I try and work through it, just haven't been able to totally get past it.

what I distract myself from is sitting in it, dwelling and getting really bummed out.
I work out a lot of my issues by going out and climbing by myself. There's something super zen about it.

of course it does.

you know it does, snap out of it peebs.

this life is short.  too short to choose to be unhappy.


:heart::hug:


if life was super simple and easy it'd be boring.

I'm convinced we come back to play this game when we get bored out there.

I'll snap out of it. I'm just a little butthurt I haven't gotten a call back from my third interview with this place :lol:


When I say it doesn't really matter I mean in the grand scheme of things...I mean it really just doesn't - it is a shitty way to live though, you're right :heart:

yeah, I agree on all accounts.

I mean, it doesn't matter if I'm happy on the grand scheme of things; like, the world will still turn, the plants will still grow, the tides will still rise n fall even if I'm miserable.

but when you realize happiness is a choice and perspective, it's ridiculous to punish yourself ya know?

Sometimes I am. I'd say I'm probably happy 55-60% of the time, indifferent/detatched about 35% of the time, and unhappy 5% ish
not a bad ratio I figure

Yeah that pretty much says it, I just round it up to happy, since indifferent is a nice state all things considered as well :highfive:

I am currently happy. I don't bother living a righteous life. I have my own morals values but I follow none of them. I don't impose anything on anyone and I don't allow people to do it to me.

So yeah. I have no restraints. Therefore my brain has no reason to be unhappy.

People seek happiness as if it's something you have to add to your life. A mission. An objective.

You don't need to add. You need to substract what makes you unhappy. Then once you're happy, it's much easier to add whatever you want..

IMO of course...

I agree.  People love to complain.

You could give someone everything they desire, and they would still complain.

I emboldened the parts I like. I am pretty happy right now, the most I have been in a LONG time. Have a mate/friend/lover that I NEVER thought I would have, no CC debt, halfway through my RN refresher course (guess I could be studying on it right now though,lol) and I'm passing in the 80+ GPA range, car is paid off and running good, bills and rent are paid and not worried about next months, killer credit score (817) and probably buying a house soon with my mate (next year for sure), and everything seems really good for now. Life is peaks and valleys, I happen to be going up to a peak for now, been in a valley the last few years.:grin:

I totally know that feeling. That's the way my life feels right now. Sometimes you're in a valley for so long that you almost forget that the peaks exist, but then things start rising toward a peak again and life is good.
