I'm relatively happy.

I'd be an asshole to say I do not lead a good life. I lead an exceptional life. I live in Holland for god sakes.
One can hit rock bottom and still have enough money to pay the bills.
That doesn't mean someone can't be unhappy.

It's not about what happens to you, it's about finding joy in the little things.
Even the depressed have small moments of happiness or laughter but it doesn't affect the overall feeling they have towards life which forms the base of their emotions every day.

Edit: would agree with the idea that in many people it's possible to "work towards" happiness but that's more complicated and difficult than just having a better outlook

My current position is deciding whether I should chose the collegial path that leads to money, or happiness.
And I seem to be leaning towards the former.

Well, yes but I could be a little bit better. My debit card has expired and I do not have my new one yet, but sadly I owe ebay £3.16, which I do not have (I only have £2.11 in the bank) I'm probably going to get late fees and I have no idea how much those are. I don't have any money coming in, so when I get the new card I am probably going to have to ask my mother for a tenner. Which sucks because she's going to worry about me and give me more money than a tenner which I know she can't afford more than that right now. Until I get that new card I can't do a thing.

Other than that... I'm unemployed but I left university nearly 2 years ago now, it's been really hard finding a job. Going to sign up for jobseekers soon. I just want a job. Any job. But no.

Despite that I am happy. I'm not living with my parents anymore, though I miss my pets like crazy, I'm in a good relationship that has no issues. My boyfriend is wonderful, loving, caring, honest and we work fantastically together. He knows me better than I do sometimes. He changed my life for the better when I met him. I'm often reminded how I changed his life for the better too. Also my parents are extremely lovely, and were supportive of me moving out. They understood that I needed to, I needed my own space and my own independency. Though my brother and I are at odds because I spent Christmas with my boyfriend, for our first Christmas together (my family are in Kent, I'm in the Midlands) I did go and visit before Christmas, and I intend on being with them for Christmas this year. But he now disapproves of everything I do because of it. I keep being told it might be because he is jealous I moved out before him, he still lives with my parents, however I don't think that's the case. I think that would be far too petty to be true.

Yes, I am happy. Knock on wood!
I think that what makes me happy is that I have people I love and who love me back. I don't like to worry much about work or uni and I try to accomplish things at my own pace. Like Maurice Chevalier said: "Dans la vie faut pas s'en faire!"

I feel kind of mixed right now. On one hand, I've never had a girlfriend or anything like that, I've lived a somewhat sheltered life because of living in a small town, and I can't help but feel some of my friends don't like having me around anymore.

On the other hand though, my family is always supportive of me, even when I joined the Army(I ship February 25th). My friends that I've known for the longest time still have my back, and I know my future is bright. I've got no loans to pay, I'm not flat-ass broke, and I'm getting into good physical shape.

Life is confusing sometimes.

Yes.

I am fortunate to have the family that I do... they is good people.

I think my mindset is fairly fortunate too. I get so consumed by things that interest me, of which there are many. I play lots of instruments and write for all of them, I watch silly amounts of films, I play on 2 badminton teams and I legitimately have a fantastic time playing games with people online. I enjoy myself.

My job is a bit pokey, I could use more money... But it's completely bearable.

Captcha is "winning". Captcha freaks me out sometimes.

I've been happy lately, but I'm diagnosed as Bipolar II so that may change at the drop of a hat. Everything is calm, I'm calm. There is nothing to bother me. No girlfriend, no job, no uni course bearing down on me, just time for me.

I love it at the moment. It may sound sad, but it's stability and there is nothing that makes me feel bettr than stability. Though in a few weeks I'll be back at uni, I'll try and no that get me down too much like it did last year.

Yes I am sometimes i feel down but then i realize just how good life i had and i am still having right now. That is likely to change though when i finish college in a few months and will have to become a responsible hard working citizen.

Let's do the math shall we. I have no job, cramped apartment, no girlfriend/ boyfriend or any form of lover, a broken social network, no social skill, no marketable skill, bad grades, bad health and diet, barely any money, dept, all my family members live a minimum of 7000 km away and my rent is overdue. I am happy (no I did not mean that sarcastically. I am genuinely happy... Somehow)

This is actually funny, cause an answer to this question had a Disney movie I watched "The Princess and the Frog".

If I remember right the quoter I am looking is from Tiana. She said:
"My Daddy never did get what he wanted. But he had what he needed. He had love. He never lost sight o' what was really important."

So yeah, sure, I believe I am happy. I know many of my dream never come true, but I have many other things I am glad I am still a human being [or a frog XD].
I love my family and my friends. I know I have many difficulties as well, but I am not complaining, because I have what I need. Love.

I know this sound cliche, but if you think in what kind of f*cked up world we live, you must pray the God for the good things you have now.
