  I think I'm more happy than I am unhappy. 
  
  Things in my life I'm happy about:  my job, my apartment, my car, my financial situation, bowling, my co-workers, soulcast.  Most of these things come directly from my job.  It pays well and I enjoy the work, and thats pretty important.
  
  Things that I'm not happy with:  my social life, my dating life, the area I live in.  Honestly I can't even think of anything more than that.  I've said it enough times but I'm lonely and have very few friends.  My job is really the only thing keeping me in this area, because I really don't like living here otherwise.  But I guess the only reason I don't like this town is because I have no friends here and can't find any.  I figure if I was somewhere else, I'd do better.  That might not be true.
  
  Some days are better than others.  Some days I think I'm wasting my time with this job.  Would I be happier if I moved somewhere else and found a job at a company that actually has people my age?  a job in a town that actually has women my age?  I don't know.

  lampshade - Thank you again my frequent reader! :-) I think you have a lot of things in your life to be happy about. And yes, there are a few things that you aren't. But, you shouldn't let that get you down. I'm sure you know that anyways. I think I'm going to have to send some people your way...to your town...that you can become friends with. Maybe even a potential lady! ;-) Chin up lamp...you're my friend!

• lampshade said on Dec 08, 2007....

  Thanks!  Send all the ladies you've got my way.  I appreciate it.

• Sunshine_Mariah said on Dec 08, 2007....

  Haha, well I will have a screening process first so that I keep the nasty ones up here. The rest I will gladly send your way...just send me a message sometime on what you're looking for and I will do my best!

• Sunshine_Mariah said on Dec 08, 2007....

  anonymous - Sorry to hear that! You've come to the right place...people here will be sure to cheer you up.

• queenparanoia said on Dec 08, 2007....

  well i'm okay... but not completely... life's pretty shitty for me today...

• cntlvmenuf said on Dec 08, 2007....

  I have my moments....sometimes am surprised that I am happy.....it's crazy tho, I'd catch myself at work when am doing something I love, when talking to people I know or dont know and I am so amused and tickled....and it suddenly hits me that at that moment, I am happy. Of late, I think I've had moe than my fair share of sad moments ...blame it on pursuit of material comfort, financial security and a social life. I am a work in progress.. :-)...thats how I ended up here....at Soulcast.

  I am very happy in my career-
  my personal life, not so much.
  Can't have 'em all, I guess.....

• lalalalalala said on Dec 09, 2007....

  I am happy. I am living in a place I can truly call home. I got the ball rolling on my job. My parents are still alive. I have a wonderful cat. And just when I stopped dreaming and hoping, something inside of me switched and now I have hopes and dreams again!

• crybabylu said on Dec 09, 2007....

  I am very happy with my life!  I feel blessed. I have a wonderful family, and a wonderful husband, and a wonderful home.  It has only come about in the last 10 years.  I don't know if it is because I'm getting older, and have gained a new perspective, or if it came about as a result of finding the right husband 10 years ago, or maybe it is all of the above...........dee

• travelr712 said on Dec 09, 2007....

  yes, i am happy with my life. i am living out my own decisions and choices, and how can i not be happy with that? besides, if i'm not happy like that, i have no one to blame but myself, and i like that too. :-)

• Sunshine_Mariah said on Dec 09, 2007....

  Thanks to all for the comments! :-)
   
  queen - Sorry to hear that!
   
  cntlv - I think most of us here are a work in progress. SC is definitely helpful. :-)
   
  designed - It will get better...you will find that balance.
   
  lalala - Congrats! I bet it feels great to be so happy! :-)
   
  crybaby - Congrats on all of that. You are blessed and very lucky! :-)
   
  travelr - You are right...you have nobody to blame but yourself if you aren't happy.

• travelr712 said on Dec 09, 2007....

  well, i want to thank you sunshine. you gave me the inspiration for my post today. :-)

• Sunshine_Mariah said on Dec 09, 2007....

  Oooh, I don't think I've ever inspired someone's post before! :-) I can't wait to read it!!

• destinydiva said on Dec 09, 2007....

  I have seen that film, it is incredibly inspiring,
  am I happy? I dont think that I am, I have happy days, and happy nights, good times where I smile and laugh, but over all.....  no, I'm not in a happy place. But I am  hormonal so maybe I will feel happier in a few days :-) xx
  

• Sunshine_Mariah said on Dec 09, 2007....

  destiny - Haha, aren't we always hormonal??

• lalalalalala said on Dec 09, 2007....

  Sunshine, I wish it did. I guess I need to focus less on humanity and whats going on in the world to truly enjoy it.

• polarheart said on Dec 09, 2007....

  I have watched the Pursuit of Happyness and it truly is an inspiration :-)  I am at a point where I am going to make changes in my life in order to be happier.  Dont get me wrong, I am VERY blessed, but there are things in my life that are currently stealing my joy. . .too much work is one.  I will be cutting my hours and seeing if I feel less stressed then. . .if not I will have to move in another direction.

• Sunshine_Mariah said on Dec 09, 2007....

  lalala - That would be a good start.
   
  polar - I read the book and watched the movie. It is beautiful, and very inspirational indeed. Good luck with your work situation.

• travelr712 said on Dec 09, 2007....

  sunny - i hope you like it. it might not be what you expected.

• lfbno7 said on Dec 09, 2007....

  I think "content" is more like what would describe me most of the time. Times I'm not happy would include if I am temporarily very bored or restless at work, in which case I will often leave early. Or if someone is annoying to me, which doesn't happen too often. Or if I have a new reason to be concerned about financial matters - that really gets under my skin. But overall if you were to catch me at 20 random times, I'd be pretty content 18 of them.

• Sunshine_Mariah said on Dec 09, 2007....

  lfnbo7 - 18 out of 20 is really good! I'll take it! :-)

• lalalalalala said on Dec 09, 2007....

  Sunshine, what I meant is that I need to ignore the negativity altogether. Ignorance truly is bliss.

• hypntized said on Dec 09, 2007....

  Most days i wake up with a smile on my face, especially when my baba is right there with me :D  Doesnt mean i want to get outta bed tho haha Before i met her i was content with my life,  i wasnt unhappy but i knew that there was so much more to this wonderous thing we call life.  I spent most of my time trying to make others feel good and bringing smiles to their faces that i kinda put my true happyness on the back burner.  Now i have a new meaning to my life and it makes me the happiest person in the world :D She is my sunshine in the mourning and my light in the dark, and i dedicate my smile and my happiness to her.  Am i happy?  yes as happy as i can be :D thank you for asking :)

  as far as work goes i am happy when im there most days :P the people i work with are great and that helps soo much when it comes to enjoying your job.  After all if it was meant to be fun they wouldn't call it work haha
