Happiness is defined as the quality or state of being happy. I think that at some point in everyone’s life, they are happy. With what? It varies. It could be that special person. It could be making a family. It could be finally moving out of their parents house. It could be a host of things. I think its all in what stage of life you’re in also. Right now, I’m happy because I’m about to get married. Later, I’ll be happy because I’ll have a child and so on. Happiness will come for you. Just wait.

Everyone has been where you are at one point. Happiness will come – and you will just notice it one day. Be patient.

It’s ok to have totally conflicting feelings, but I hope that you do find a way to question yourself less.

There are so many different things that you could call happiness, in so many different situations, and times of life. Happiness is not a destination. You have to see it in the little things every day. One of the happiest times of my life, I was living in an apartment with 3 roommates, going to school full time and working part time, and making only just enough to pay rent and pay bills and buy groceries. I had very little, but was very happy. So it’s not what you have or what position you’re in professionally or whether you have a good mate. It’s whether you are content within yourself, even if that means being content with the fact that your life is a journey, and that there will be ups and downs along the way. Happiness is within. Good luck.

I think you need to start answering some of these questions. Are you always going to second guess yourself? Does it make you miserable when you do? Then stop doing it.

Are you romantic or cynical? What’s wrong with being both? Why can’t you recognize the beauty of the rose while recognizing that people in relationships shouldn’t need a VDay for it to happen?

If you’re so analytical about it, why don’t you ask yourself, what three things can I change that would make me happier and then change them? As others have said, happiness takes work and it’s more than just writing meaningless questions down. Answer them!

I agree with Abbersnail — happiness takes work. It doesn’t just happen. I think happiness, and finding out who we are, are things that happen over time, and they are both constantly changing.

I feel like I’ve written this post a dozen times over the past few years. What I keep coming back to is that happiness – for me – is something that takes a lot of work. I have to count my blessings pretty actively to remember them. And as far as finding the perfect partner, I think that it has a lot to do with being happy. It’s pretty scary how literally that translated for me. Like, I made the decision to be happy in my life, took a few steps to make it happen, and I met my honey the next week. I’m not even kidding.

Wow, I sound like a pretentious asshole. I just feel like I know you from this post. Forgive me for anything that might be weirdly irritating about this comment. Blah.

Oh,man–I could have written big chunks of this! Where IS happy, and why can’t I figure out how to get there on a more regular basis?
