I feel the same about myself. But I’m worse. What keeps me far from happines is my work and I’ll never have the courage to quit it. Deep inside my heart, I believe this crisis will pass and I’ll feel happy and proud about how stronger I was when people I love needed me the most. But this is an warming dream that I keep in my heart. Right now, I’m just a person who’s trying not to hide a smile…

The way I see it is this: life is never going to be perfect. There is always going to be the struggle amidst all the good stuff. Hapiness is a kind of a decision – you have to grasp onto those amazing, great moments (even if they are fleeting) & enjoy them with all your heart. Keep moving forward towards your dreams but don’t forget to stop & enjoy the view (This advice was given to me by an 80+ year old so I trust she knows what she is talking about ;))

About the only thing I’d like to change about my life as it is is that I’d like less corporate male bovine faeces in it. Unfortunately, about the only reasonably steady jobs in my fairly specialised line of work (but one I love) are all with big companies.

I can really relate to this post. It seems like no matter where I am, the grass is always greener somewhere else. Right now I am struggling with this idea a lot. I have a good job in a nice city, but I really just want to move somewhere else because I think my life will be better there. It doesn’t even really matter where it is, as long as it is somewhere else. I think this is why I have not spent more than 2 years in any one place since I graduated from college.

I’m the same…always on the pursuit. I’m bad at celebrating small victories and instead keep pushing and looking to the next obstacle. Like you, I am happy quite a lot, but it’s that contentment piece that seems to be missing. I can never find contentment. I read about and know the steps on how it needs to happen, but I just can’t get there yet. And that’s what I accept about myself…I’m just not there yet. The idea that rolls around my just turned 30 brain is whether and when I am going to feel like I’m really living and not simply just existing.
