Are YOU happy and contented??

After years of always being pissed of with things or having my head wrecked from smoking far too much weed or taking too many E's at the weekend or boozing too much I've finally in the last few months managed to dig myself out of the rut I was in. Feels class when your in a good mood nearly all the time, and I still drink, smoke on and party every weekend. I just started some nightclasses and other constructive stuff and it's cool cos you feel like you are not just a waster pissing all your wages down the drain at the weekends and that you are bettering yourself.
So are there many other people who are fairly happy and contented or is there anyone is a rut, or where are you all at at this point in time with yourselves?

 

Well peoples, don't be shy, pour your hearts out to me!

 

yes.

 

I'm pretty happy/content most of the time... Of course things could be better, but why not be happy anyway?

 

i kinda took a rollercoaster of overall mood the last many years.
years ago, in 9th grade, i started smoking, and tripped a few times, and i really found something beautiful. happiness and love was all around me, and i believe i really accepted the holy spirit (i didn't know it was this then). in 11th grade, i started to lose what i had... it tooks months for me to realize this. i was smoking wayyyyyy to much, and losing touch of reality. when i started losing touch of reality, i started to lose touch with compassion and empathy for others. i noticed myself in a bad place, was abusing tripping alot also, and really saw the extremes of what i was, and became. i cut back smoking for a while, and really sought to find what i lost. the holy spirit joined me again, just this last semester, while lying in my bed in the dorms. everything was put in perspective again exactly like it was, and now i'm a bit older and mature, can udnerstand and cherish it how it's supposed to be cheirshed. i think it was mainly because i found myself becoming addicted to these things... and i know it's not the quanity youre doing, it's just your state of mind on whatever you're doing. i guess i was taking things for granted for too long. hadda step back. i dont smoke as much as i did, however it's still a whole lot, but i cherish my highs unlike i did when i was loosing touch of life. i trip very rarely, maybe seasonally, and definitely cherish that a whole lot. i regained a passion for nature, and for every individual. i'm still working on better myself, and all the nasty things i picked up during my dark days, but i'm doing fine =).
i hope everything finds itself beautiful for you man. love <3

 

I was vague because I was in a hurry to do something... and that's all I had typed at the time, but I meanttttttt...

It fluctuates... I try. Sometimes I focus more on making other people happy more than I focus on myself...

I'm really not too contented or happy right nowwwwwww... I just wish.

 

I am generally happy. There are times of course when I feel a little down and not in the mood to do anything but those moods never last long. There are also times that I think way too much about the negative easpects of my personality without trying to do anything about it, but so far I've always been able to get myself up and standing again. I'm learning to live with myself and focus on my good aspects and exploiting those to the best I can, especially if I can help others with that. I love being able to do something for someone who needs it.
When everything else fails I've got a great best friend to which I can talk about whatever I want and by that she really helps me right up again ( I so love her for that ). But usually that's not really necessary because I'm my happy odd self most of the time.

 

i'm feeling alright! thanks for asking!

 

i was in great deppresion last week, probably one of the worst amounts of deppression i have ever experinced in my life...but im happy and content now, how bout yourself?

 

im usually happy/ content... but i feel stuck sometimes because of parents.... i wish i were just free as a bird...or free as 18.

lovetracy

 

oh yes--what a wonderful day. it was in the 60s in nc...and when youre feeling that good, its hard to be anything but perfect

 

Well... 18 won't solve everything. It's what you do when you get there and how you get there.

 

i can commiserate with wanting to leave the reign of parents. mine are extremely conservative and disapprove to everything from my lack of makeup to my environmental protesting. and its difficult to understand why they wouldnt w ant me to do these things which i find good and natural and helpful to the world at large. and although its said that honesty is the best policy...i find it alot easier to keep little secrets. theyre mine--something they cant put their hands on, and it also leads to alot less confrontation.

 

=)))))))))
i feel the same way about florida right now. earlier this week it was getting CHILLY, but not tooo chilly. today it was a good constant 70(ish). it's absolutely beautiful outside, and i think i posted a comment almost exactly like yours earlier today, in another thread, accept nc was florida, and 60 was 70 =).

 

i used to live in cooper city (not too far away from you). do you like florida? are you in school there? i want to visit soon...its been too long.

 

i live VERY close to cooper city mannnn.

i go to school down here, florida atlantic university, but i dont know for how much longer. i loved growing up here a wholeeee mess. i definitely missed the nippier season, which i imagine i'd LOVE LOVE LOVE, but never got to experience a snowy winter yet, you know? college here though is blehhhh. i'm not meeting too many people who are into things i'm into. i definitely made a good handful of amigos, and i'm enjoying myself, but i know this isn't the place for me, anymore, you know?
how's nc??? i imagine AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

 

i;m feeling really lame right now, but i don;t usually feel this way.

 

im in charlotte right now--which is not all that wonderful. there is not alot to do. theres clubs if you like clubs, and theres malls and a lot of harris teeters and strip malls, but its still the south and everything closes up early. and its a city, so its not too safe. i dont like that. but north carolina as a state--whole different story. the mountains especially are just incredible. i try to check them out as much as possible. im kind of a mountain addict. i never saw them until i moved here and ive been hooked ever since. i go hiking whenever possible. its funny--the only colleges i applied to are in the mountains. that was my number one criteria.
