And how many just fake it? I feel like I'm just going through the motions.

I am happy with life, but not always. Right now, I am very happy, but there have been days and even months where I was pretty miserable with the way things were working out. Moved past them, and life became fulfilling again. I no longer feel like I'm spinning on a hamster wheel every day. 5/7/2012 9:33:08 AM |

There are some things that I wish I could change, and some things that are stressing me out, but ultimately I am overall happy with my life. I have a great family, wonderful friends, and an amazing boyfriend. I have a steady job. I have a place to live and a beach to enjoy. I have fish to catch and music to play. Beer to drink and food to eat. I'm good with life. 5/7/2012 9:41:10 AM |

I am very happy right now. Many tdubbers can attest to the fact that that was definitely not the case a year and a half ago, and i am probably not healed 100%. Im close though, really close. I went through probably 8 years that just got worse and worse until I finally cracked (see the small period of time I completely disappeared from the internet, and from reality) . I dont know what I would have done without bottombaby and my now fiance.
TL; DR life sucked then it got awesome 5/7/2012 9:59:04 AM |

Aw. I love you, elise. You are my heart and my conscience.
I am extremely happy. My daily life can be hectic, frustrating, and lonely at times. I blow off steam by bitching about it on the internet, but life as a whole adds up to be extremely satisfying. I am almost exactly where I have always wanted to be and becoming the wife and mother that I envisioned. 5/7/2012 10:10:19 AM |

I am really lucky and live a more comfortable than deserved lifestyle, but i am bored. realizing how privileged i am makes me depressed because i should be happier, but i'm not.
i am actively trying to do what makes me happy though, even if that means less $$$ 5/7/2012 10:12:48 AM |

I'm pretty happy...things are way more awesome than they were a few years ago, and I'm making strides to do more of what I love for a living. That makes me even more happy each time I think about it.
Even when times suck...I'm still laughing. I got that going for me. 5/7/2012 12:06:07 PM |

I'm pretty okay most of the time. Sometimes I'm on a mild rollercoaster where I'm happy then a little down then a little happy and so on.

This has nothing to do with FWP, that's more along the lines of I spilled some of my double mocha half-caf latte on my new Dockers. This is just about being happy with life. 5/7/2012 12:32:40 PM |

Very appy. but many changes on the horizon--change in living/roommate, and lots of time out of town vacationing and balancing my business and representing my brother as a pro.
any advice on loans? ironically, i would have to give one in order to make the move/vacation thing happen. strange, but glad to say its not some chick swindling my money, but a good chum from high school that makes funds for payback.
buying a motorcycle and pretty much ripping and tearing. but often i long for a bit of a mix up
at least when i fall asleep i can dream of anothr life zzzzz 5/8/2012 12:43:35 AM |

I am mostly happy, but on the days where I am having a lot of sad thoughts I cover it up. It is really hard for me to stay sad looking, if that makes sense. Part of it is I get distracted by the people I love, then when I'm alone it really hits. 5/8/2012 2:20:24 AM |
