Poll: Are you happy?

[TheTim]

About as happy as you'll get out, everything is going right for me. so yes i am

 

[Jedoro]

Nothing good enough to make me happy, nothing bad enough to make me unhappy. I'm just making my way through life right now til it gets better or I die.

 

[Aur0ra145]

I am incredibly content and happy with my life. It's weird, even my close friends who live out of town, when they come back, they say I exhibit an aura of happiness and content.

 

[SovietSecrets]

$216 paycheck. I'm overjoyed.

 

[AhumbleKnight]

Happy with my life. Some things are going a bit shit but mostly things are going well.

But right now, I am le tired.

 

[Dango]

It's very, very complicated, but at the moment I'd say yes, I'm rather happy.

 

[The Geek Lord]

I am incredibly happy currently, a state which I can attribute to the following reasons:
1. I am now in a band that doesn't completely suck.
2. The recent improvement of said band and continued it's recording efforts.

I guess I'll play douchebag here and say that I do hope that you and the other guys in the band are in it for fun (or something to that effect) more than anything else. Primarily because I know a guy who lost around $500,000 or so due to piracy.

On topic, I'm more leaning towards being miserable for... Absolutely no reason whatsoever. Not completely miserable, just the occasional random bit of depression. While school was still in it was rage instead. Rage or depression... I don't think I'm breathing so much as angsting.

 

[TheLaofKazi]

I always seem to live in the moment. Whatever I'm currently feeling is what my life and the world is like.

Every day I have spouts of anger, depression, laughter, happiness, insanity, contemplation and countless other things. And for that moment, that's what it's all like. One moment I'm angry and depressed and the whole world is this terrible, raging, miserable place. Another moment I feel humorous and light-hearted, and the whole world is beautiful and absurd. Life is a song.

But at least at some point, I have a moment of self-reflection where I look at where I'm at and where I'm going. Over the past year or so, that moment has become much more peaceful and optimistic. I can list off the things I've done and what I've improved about myself and my life, and I can smile. I think that's happiness. Always have something to look forward to, and always accepting your current situation and that it's just that, a moment. Enjoy it for what it is and realize it will pass.

Personally I have no idea because I do not know what the parameters for happiness are. They aren't quantifiable and since there is no real way to know if I am happy I don't know especially when considering my happiness as a group discussion.

However on my understand of my emotions I think I am sort of happy but I'm confused with my life, I am currently going through an awkward stage where I have almost no idea what I want. I have a girlfriend, a shitty job but a job, I'm getting good grades and I have most of what I want but I'm not truly happy. At least I don't think, referring back to my first point

 

[Pat8u]

Im happy since I got my half yearly report back and it was what I wanted

 

[Rabid Chipmunk]

Not really happy right now. I'm going through a crisis of faith and my sister is my only family member who doesn't seem to condemn me for not wanting to go to church anymore. But I still have a roof over my head a meal whenever I want it, so I've got no right to complain.

 

[Rabish Bini]

I'm happy.

I have no reason to be unhappy.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Look at me and tell me how fucking delighted I am.
I am so fucking skippy I could piss out my liver and bleed to death slowly.

 

[StormShaun]

Im pretty happy at the moment...

Im getting money
I know what I will do after school
I have a best friend that will last forever
Im doing thing I like
I have told my best friend I like her sister...

All that can happen now to make it better is to make her my girlfriend and get a job in gaming journalism and ill be fine.

 

[Twilight.falls]

Yes, reasons following in no particular order.

1. I live in a nice house, loving family, and a $190k salary.
2. I have a large group of friends who care for each other and have each other's backs.
3. The world is naturally beautiful. I look up at the clouds each day admiring the world I live in.
4. People are kind. I think the sheer good that people can do in this world alone makes life worth living.
5. People are living longer. Compared to centuries ago, people are reaching very, very old ages more often.
6. Art exists. Music and pictures enrich this world's beauty.
7. I'm doing well in school, allowing me to have a better future.
8. I know that, one day, I'll be able to experience this wonderful thing called romance.

Probably more, but this should be enough for now.

Half of me wishes you well and is pleased life looks good for you, half of me wants to vomit through the internet and out of your modem, and keep on vomiting until whatever room your computer's in is ankle-deep in my haemorrhaging guts.

Understandable, my rather idealistic life is perhaps a little too cheerful. I think I may have developed diabetes while typing it.

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

I'm a 21 year old who has been physically handicapped and living with chronic pain for three years, I can't get any pain management due to a doctor who is overzealous about addiction and I have only one friend who lives in a different city... So no, not really all that happy.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I survived puberty and have been happy ever since.

In the grand scale of things I have no real reasons to be unhappy, obviously there are little things but nothing to dwell on or be miserable about.
Cheery times all round.
