Who here is Happy in life so far?

[MichaelxXxTrixie 433]

I wanted to ask this question out of curiosity, who here is happy in life? Happiness in life doesn't mean everything is going perfect but you are just confident in your place in life.

 

I'd say that I'm pretty happy in life despite some bumps in the road, what about you guys? 

[Colt 555]

Just as you say there are a lot of things to improve and to grow but without a doubt and without being a conformist Im happy with the life I have now.

 

Each day I wake up with the will of make it even better

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

I am fairly happy.  I got a lot of great friends and people who enjoy my music around the internet.  I am happy where I am and I can't wait for an even better tomorrow.

[repsol rave 2,963]

i've had some pretty high bumps in the road recently, but right now, i seem to be pretty happy. i got nice friends. nice brothers and i have plenty of spare time to go out and have fun or post on the forums.i got a pretty bright outlook on the rest of my life too. once i'm 18 i'm gonna move out, and from there things can only get brighter :3

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

You know despite these past couple of months being really rough... 

 

In the end life is still great and has its good moments. Learning to be more thankful for what you have is what I am in the process of learning more and more as the days go by.

[Lion Keyla 51]

Well, I don't really know, there are parts in my life when I'm happy and if I just look at my life overall I should be more happy then I am. I have a wonderful family and great friends. I also has like the best girlfriend anyone could ask for. But I have som things that bothers me. Mostly I have like trust issues and other effect after I got bullied, (they are still there even if it was like 3 years ago).

So that's why I clicked Other.

I have an okay life, but it's not happy, nor is it bad. It's quite repetitive and boring, but it's definitely not bad. I do the same stuff every day, and a lot of those stuff are pleasurable, such as eating a good snack, talking with people on MLP Forums, and some other stuff, but I feel as if I'm getting too used to them.

Yes, I'm pretty happy with my life, but that's probably because I'm just waiting for it to begin. I know I'm going to go to college and pursue a field, but the only problem I have with my life is that I don't know what that will be. I can't even consider that a problem, I have a charmed life.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I'm happy but my life has it's ups and downs. It has been rather, meh but at the moment I'm happy with my life. I know it isn't great, what keeps me going is the thought of one day owning a BMW M6. Driving, cars, money and ponies make me happy. I don't have any health problems and I have what I need. My future seems promising and I'm sure that I will be happy in the future. As long as I have cars and ponies. 

 

My life is fine but I can't really be sure about the future. The future doesn't matter, at the moment I'm happy.

[Rory 150]

all honesty im really just going until i drop that's how i look at it not happy with life anymore and im just wanting to see how long i can go before i blow my brains out.

[Smarts 1,622]

I'm somewhat in the middle here. I used to be very unhappy in life, but now that I'm seeing my brothers again I am feeling a bit better now. Not much though, I still feel depressed and it's only going to get worse when I start school again. But at the very least I have two very loving brothers to hang out with now and some friends here to keep me company.

I wish I could say I was happy but I unfortunately have been unhappy for years. Because of a lot of things happening in life such as pressures from school, work, having to take care of my sick Dad (may he rest in peace) I feel like I have had all the responsibilities of being an adult but very few of the actual benefits. I have been stuck in a rut for far too long, I feel burnt out at work angry bitter cynical and on some days can start to feel sorry for myself. The good news I have a plan to turn this all around that I have full confidence will succeed, it is going to take some time and quite a bit of dedication on my part but it is going to be worth it. I will become an author/advocate I will use my experience with Autism to help others by getting out some crucial information that would be valuable to many people and help myself by getting out of a bad situation and doing something I have wanted to do for a long time.

I would say, tentatively, that I've had a pretty good life so far. There's been some very dark days - dark years, in fact - but I am happy in life at this point. I do occasionally wish to be a different person, but those urges have been fading over the years.

 

So yeah, I guess you can chalk me up there.

[Moonlight 7,286]

I'm not happy right now and I do plan on fixing that in the future. Moving out, moving in with my best friend, and just getting the jobs I wanted. I also plan on going to college. Once all of that is finished...I should be happy, I hope so, at least.

[MLPForums Phanact 1,374]

I'm happy! What's not to be happy about :3 I'm dating my best friend, I've met some really amazing people on here who I absolutely love and I'm dying my hair purple soon!

 

Shit happens though, brother's girlfriend and their daughter were in a car accident. Good news, they walked out of it alive so why get caught up on the negatives when they're both fine?

 

I always try to look forward and get excited for things rather than look for things that are going wrong! Being positive is the best <3

I guess I have a decent life, but maybe in the future I'll be able to feel happy again. So, you could say that my life is a bit neutral when it comes to happiness.

[Lunas Husband 2,777]

Sure I get hit with a lot of shit storms (who doesn't?) but at the end of the day I'm happy, cause I know that when things are at there worse hey cant get any worse, and that things can get better really quickly. but yeah I was say I'm happy!

[Thrashy 2,800]

By this point I don't think it's any secret around here that I've seen some shit in life, but as a whole, I feel pretty lucky not to be where I once was. There are certainly plenty of things in my life that could be better, but I'm slowly working towards bettering those things, whilst simply being thankful for everything I have.

 

Anypony else posting here about not being so happy with life, all I can say is stay strong, and eyes forward. Focusing on how things could get any worse will typically encourage worse things to happen. Instead, try to focus on how things can improve, and actively work towards improving them. Even if progress is slow, remember - progress is progress.

[The Leafeon Pinkeh 3,603]

Happy?  Ok so not that happy.. anyways! I'm pretty happy now. I mean I don't need anything but I tend to complain a lot, though. :/ I am happy now though. And usually. 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,467]

Not really, no. I will say that I was much happier in my childhood. I am still a child at heart in many ways, but now I have tons of self hatred and depression problems. I just feel that I am inferior to most around me, since there are things I either cannot do or just don't do. More or less it is a ton of internal conflict. I try to appreciate the simple things in life and I live a simple life, but the future scares me and I just feel worthless most of the time. I want to be happy, I really do, but my mind is always in a state of chaos anymore and I always compare myself with others, as stupid as that is. The future also seems so unclear and it stresses me out. I don't know if my simple life is good enough...It should be, but again, comparison and all...

 

I really hope I can get a counselor soon or something...

[Callisto 1,877]

Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty goshdarn happy. Nothing's gone wrong, we don't have financial troubles or anything like that. I'm a happy fellow.

[DusK 1,264]

I'm getting married in four months, college is getting knocked out (sporadically), and my music is in a pretty good place now all things considered. So yeah, I'm pretty happy with my life.

 

No reason to stop there, though.

"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Him who gives me strength."

[Dog man 48]

Most of my childhood ( Im still in it ) Has been horrible with constant parents arguing and having to move back and forth, Minor bullying from my school, Loneliness and depression, Losing my friends and having to make new ones ( I'm really shy and no-one knew me at the time ), My father disowning my older brother, Minor Self Harm.

 

But more recent things seem to be getting better, my parents argue less, Hardly any bullying, I'm not depressed, I got Good friends!, And I don't self Harm anymore! Right now I'd say I'm in a good mood

[Kantu-chan 40]

I'd say yes. I'm actually very happy with the way things are in my life right now and I don't think I'd like to change any of it. Then again, I don't usually try to let anything get me significantly depressed.
