Could be better, but no complaints...

I am perpetually in category 2 or 4. I am in a good mood now so I picked 2. I am always looking ahead to when things will be much better than they have been.

I'm really very happy with my life, but there is room for improvement, so I can't say that I'm completely happy and content. I do think I'm very fortunate to be as happy as I am and have as good a life as I do.

I am rather happy. I have those silly "inner simplicity" books on my desk and read something each day, and try not to worry about things. I always try to do my best, and don't let it get to me if I fail. I have a good job, a good boyfriend, and many fun hobbies to occupy me. *** For me, it doesn't help to think "tomorrow will be better than this". I "lived for tomorrow" for many, many years and it always sucked to look back and think what I went through for that "maybe someday". Now I simply use today for what I want and don't worry about tomorrow. If I'm sad that I don't bike enough, I go out biking more. Who knows if tomorrow will really come ...

I am fairly happy now, I dont like what I do or where I live but otherwise I am happy. I think the future holds better times, even though some of the best times of my life must have already passed. : )

Yeah, I'm happy, but I do suffer doubts and feelings of "something is not quite right here" sometimes. I'm not sure what these feelings mean, but sometimes I can convince myself that there's just something in my life I have to deal with (like talk to someone about a problem or something).

mute: are you doin' awright, gettin' good grades?...

I picked the third one. I'd like to point out that this is not bad; there was a specific moment in college when I realized "These just may be the best years of my life, and that's okay; this is SO good, if the rest of my life is almost but not quite this good, I'll be content." So far, it's almost (but not quite) that good. mute: That was my theme song one term; I was studying nuclear science, and I liked my classes.

I am content. Not happy and not sad.

fiore: my name (my real name, not lara) apparently means "cheerful". as a teenager, i was often hideously depressed and thought that my name was probably someone's idea of a joke. (i'm mostly happy now, although there's always room for improvement. i'm probably in the middle of the best years of my life).

My future had better be better than my past or I'll be really pissed off at who/whatever's up there ^.

YEAH I'M HAPPY!

:) My middle name, FELICE, means happiness in Italian :) You bet I am! :)
LARA, you could say I used to be depressed a lot, but I am FAR FAR from that. I'm glad you are mostly happy now.

Things are going great, and they're only getting better. [STR] *** elijahblue and steve: you weeeeeen! Who do you wanna say hi to?

'cept I know how this movie I'm in ends...

I am generally happy. My life pretty much rules, but there are a few things I would be psyched if they were somewhat different, but I'm not really hoping for them to change. I used to be really unhappy much of the time, and I accept that I might be again, but I don't really expect it.

I have never been depressed. This must mean something...

I usually forget how lucky and happy i am until I hit a periodic "introspective" point. It's great when I realize, "Hey, I've got it pretty good, I'm still relatively healthy, and I have great friends." I feel very lucky sometimes. I hope the future will be better, but I could handle it being like this for some time to come.

I tend to be fairly happy and laid-back about life. In fact, sometimes I think I don't worry enough about certain things. Still, I'm hoping that things will get even better in the future. :-}

Happy and content are two completely different things (at least in my mind.). I can be content, but not happy. basically I view it as the state between unhappy and happy.. while I am generally not happy, I am depressed or unhappy about a lot of things that humans do(in general rather than in particular, things I don't have much control over.. like the environment or nuclear weapons etc) more often then not. when I am not unhappy, I am content.. rarely am I happy.

I am usually content, with occasional flashes of happy or unhappy.
