Are you happy with your life situation?

Status
Not open for further replies.
- Your job?
Im an in-house graphic / digital designer for a big global company. I work for the European division. Pays well, low stress and I enjoy doing it. So pretty happy here. Also its just a 20 min walk from home which I listen to pod casts / music on which is nice.

- Your home?
Own a nice 2 bedroom house with my Wife. Redone everything and just landscaped my garden my self. Its a great house that should keep us going for the next 4-5 years.

- Your location?
Live in a nice enough town just north of London. Would like to move slightly further away to a slightly smaller town about 20 mins away. More countryside etc etc.

- Your relationship status?
Very happily married. She is essentially my soul mate. We bicker now and then about money related issues but thats the worst of it. Very happy here.

- Your social life?
Im 30 and at the age where all my group of friends are getting married and having kids. Life is busier than it used to be but we still make time to see each other 1 - 2 times a month.

- Your health?
Im in OK shape. Im currently running 3 times a week and I walk to work. Lost about 6 pounds doing my garden as well. Would like to loose another 5-7 pounds maybe. However weight itself isnt an issue... rather how I think I look in the mirror. Just a little more off my mid section and il be happy I think. I used to do weights a lot as well but I have realised I need to find a balance of excersize and diet that I can stick to long term. This is where I settled on sticking to the running. Might throw some weights back into the mix if I feel the need but I'm going to see where this routine takes me for now. Over the years I have slowly reduced my drinking as well to the point I decided to stop drinking and home and save that for the few times I go out with friends and stuff like that.

Overall I would say I'm pretty damn happy.
 
- Your job? Have a decent job that's not paying me well though. Especially when I get praised for everything I take care of and do, but can't seem to up my pay. That becomes a bummer.

- Your home? Live in a nice apartment, lots of woods and animals.

- Your location? Live in a city, usually always something to do.

- Your relationship status? Been with the same girl for over 5 years now, its a good relationship.

- Your social life? Have a few friends I go out with, mostly to play Disc Golf, was a bit more social when I was still in a band, something I should probably do again at some point.

- Your health? This is hit or miss, I haven't been to a doctor in over a year, mostly from lack of insurance, now that I have it again though, I still haven't been able to go because of being busy with work mostly. I am very tall and have terrible back issues which seem to be getting worse, and I'm a smoker, I exercise when I can, but usually not a lot of time for Cardio and so on. I need to see a doctor, I become in more pain than I should have to be, and it's a lot of laziness on my part, but working on that.


I would rate my situation 7/10 right now, mostly because my job is taking over most of my life at this time of the year, I keep debating if I should find something else unless they decide to pay me more, I don't mind it mostly, I like being busy, but it becomes not worth when I see others hardly doing anything most the year and they make bank. Oh well. Sure I will figure it out along with the health stuff.

Can't complain too much since I have a job, roof over my head and loved ones. But it's still not that great...

I was looking for the perfect person/post to reflect how I feel at this moment in time and this is it.

My situation is by no means bad but it's just not enough. And I don't mean in a materialistic way.

I just think about the life I could have and the man I could be and it makes me want it all the more.
 
I was pretty happy with my life until I got severe tinnitus about 3 weeks ago.
I played Splinter Cell Conviction for about 4 hours with headphones on at a high volume. Pretty stupid. I didnt realize I could permanently ruin my ears so quickly. The noise is so shrill and loud I can hear it whilst driving my car with the window down and it is CONSTANT. It never stops. It has pretty much ruined my life. No hyperbole.
Beware gamers. Protect your ears. Dont take them for granted like I did.

True.


- Your job?
I guess. I could do with a job which isn't just 8 hours a week. Or more hours.
- Your home?
I live at home. Personally I don't like a few cosmetic things about it. But its a roof.
- Your location?
Its good in that it isn't a big city. Its bad in that it isn't a big city.
- Your relationship status?
Considering the hand is the only thing that's tuched me. I'd say no I am not happy.
- Your social life?
I hang out with the same four friends I knew in school. They are very boring people to for the most part, and hanging out does feel like a chore sometimes.
- Your health?
It could be better. But I can't complain.
 
- Your job?
I'm still at school, and graduating next Tuesday. My grades have been declining steadily over the past 2-3 years or so (as has my entire outlook on life, to be honest), and my chances of getting into an environmental science course are looking slim. But, the final exams haven't started yet and count for 50% of my marks, so there's still a bit of hope.

- Your home?
Not much to say here. Mum's the main driving force behind getting anything accomplished, but family life in general is so-so.

- Your location?
Don't really have a strong opinion about this one. Very happy to be living in Australia, and a relatively friendly Sydney neighbourhood, but it's not the most exciting place to be. Not that I have a choice (yet!).

- Your relationship status?
Nothing at all so far, but at my age and with my social skills this is neither surprising nor disappointing. So many other problems to gnaw through before I can even begin to address this one.

- Your social life?
What a mess. People seem to genuinely like me and are happy to have me around, but I have huge issues socialising properly, probably in part due to my stuttering but mostly thanks to an inability to converse spontaneously. I'm not asocial at all - I love being in a group and with other people - but the problems I have with speaking lead me to separate myself from others because I feel that I'm not contributing and don't entirely belong.

- Your health?
Physically, I think I'm fine. I wouldn't say I exercise much but I'm the sort of person that doesn't really gain any weight and manages to maintain an acceptable amount of muscle. Mentally and socially, I'm probably a complete wreck, but who knows.

My general feelings about everything are hopelessness. I've gradually lost motivation to do anything, really, and I can't ever see myself leading the normal life that seems to come so easily to other people. I'm only 18, so who knows what the future will bring, etc, but I don't see anything changing unless I get myself out of my current situation, and I've got no idea how to do that.
 
- Your job?
Unemployed at the moment, but satisfied.

- Your home & location?
Live in an apartment in a more bohemian area of Helsinki, which suits me just fine.

- Your relationship status?
Dating an awesome woman.

- Your social life?
Sometimes feels like there are too many happenings, and friends, to keep up with.

- Your health?
Could lose some weight.

Job) I've had the same job for 12 years now. I don't make enough for much extravagance, but my tastes are simple, barring a penchant for Apple devices.
My boss and coworkers love me, and the feeling is mutual for the most part. Going to work is like going to a second home.

Home) I'm going through a separation/divorce and had no place to go but my folks. Now, it's pretty shameful to be living back at home at 33, but I'm so ecstatic to be out of my 11 year marriage that I count it as a net positive. My folks are wonderful people and very supportive of me.

Location) I'm only five miles from work, and it's a smallish town, I usually walk the five miles to and from work. It's great exercise.

Relationship status) Single, with no prospects, and fucking LOVING it. After 11 years of marriage filled with drama and my wife's confusion over her sexuality and her unfaithfulness waking up and not having to deal with tons of bullshit is AMAZING. I'll have a relationship someday, but right now I am laser-focused on discovering just who I am at 33 and forging myself into someone that a decent woman would want.

Social life) Not much of one! But that's okay. I watch my kids every chance I get, I hang out with my buds once a week or so. Other than that I am blissfully alone. Just me and my iPod on the dark, empty streets and I go jogging a ton.

Health) During my marriage I was very depressed and ballooned past 350lbs. I'd always been a boredom eater and when you add depression to that it was just awful.

I'm now 270 and working my ass to get down to 150 and then bulk up with muscle. I feel great and I've got a new passion and fire within me. I honestly feel like my marriage dissolving has saved not only my life, but my very soul inasmuch as I can be said to believe in the concept of a soul.

I have some challenges, but I'm learning to be the type of man who doesn't shrink from them, and I'm trying to live my life in such a way as if my children are always watching. Helps me to keep shit real.
 
- Your job? I'm working my PhD and really enjoying it. I get paid nicely and have full benefits, so I can't really complain on the financial end either.
- Your home? Yep, it's a great temporary place, but I expect to move on to slightly better accommodations once I graduate.
- Your location? I actually moved back to my hometown for grad school, and it's a nice enough place. I'm excited to leave though, just to see more of the world.
- Your relationship status? I'm ever so close to proposing to my girlfriend; we've been dating for 2+ years and we're very happy.
- Your social life? I have lots of friends from work, and lots of long-time friends from when I was a kid, so it's not bad. I'm pretty busy so I don't have as much time as I'd like to be social, but I make it work.
- Your health? Absolutely. I hit the gym 3-4 times a week, cook most of my own meals, have a decent body fat %, have good cholesterol levels/blood pressure, and bike for about 4-5 hours every week. I feel very good.

Basically, I'd score my life something around a 90-95%. Clearly, there is room for improvement, but if life stayed just this way forever I'd be very happy.
 
- Your job?
Content. I make good money but have been stuck in the same job position for 10 years. I'm fairly confident I'm firmly pressed against the ceiling here. I don't have enough motivation to look for something else because I'm comfortable.

- Your home?
Love it. Just moved here a little over a year ago. Great home, nice yard, nice pool, plenty of room inside. It's just great.

- Your location?
Very much enjoy it. Moved out of a bad area for the sake of the kids and better schooling opportunities. Already seeing improvement in my kids schooling and social life.

- Your relationship status?
I'm very happy being with my wife. Sure we have our days when we get on each others nerves. However, I can honestly say this is the girl I'll grow old with.

- Your social life?
I went over this in the 'forever alone' thread already. I work at home so my social life is basically non existant because the only humans I see are my wife and kids. I'm working on it though. I've been taking my anti anxiety medicine and trying to 'get out there' more.

- Your health?
I quit smoking cigs about 5 months ago and feel 10 times better already. I am a bit overweight and trying to work on that but otherwise doing good.


So yes I am pretty happy overall.
 
I'm 26, have a job in the field I studied, am attending grad school to study a subject I love and to move me forward in my field, happily married to my wife, and our eight month old daughter is the greatest thing that has happened to me. Our income is a solid middle class one, so we're very comfortable there. The only thing I would change is the home we're living in and our location, which will likely change over the next few years after the wife and I finish school.

I couldn't be happier with my situation.
 
A lot of people are faking it. They are not really happy,truly happy with life.

They compensate and tell themselves they are but when everything is stripped back, the person inside isn't at all happy.

Covering up or masking is one of life's chores most people have to do on a daily basis.


"We're so vulnerable to being hurt that we're given the capacity to distort as a gift."
 
Nope but I don't think I'll ever be really happy so it is what it is.

- Your job? Don't have one.

- Your home? Live with my parents.

- Your location? Its a good area I guess.

- Your relationship status? Currently dating someone but I have no idea where it's going.

- Your social life? Have none aside from the person above.

- Your health? Shit. I'm in some kind of pain practically everyday and I have no idea why. Blood tests showed nothing and I just had an MRI on my back and I have a feeling its not going to show anything either. I'm bipolar too. I look pretty good though so that's a plus!

I kind of feel like most people are generally happy. Happy with times of sadness sprinkled throughout their lives. My life is sadness with moments of happiness sprinkled in.
 
• Your job? I make $19/hour now and I'm looking to become an analytical chemist soon
• Your home? If I get the new job, we will be buying a house in the next 12 months
• Your location? I live in the best city in the world (Olympia, WA)
• Your relationship status? I have a wonderful wife that I love
• Your social life? More friends than I have time to hang out with
• Your health? I've never had a broken bone, bloody nose, or headache
 
- Your job? None, but even if I got one, I can't support it. I'm a full time university student (with a crappy major) though and working to write novels.
- Your home? Living at home, I'm starting to appreciate my parents slowly.
- Your location?It's the south in USA...It's always hot and crap, prefer Oregon or something.
- Your relationship status? Relationship with boyfriend for over 7 years. He's nice and extremely forgiving.
- Your social life? None.
- Your health? I have depression and it effects my relationship greatly however. Somehow my boyfriend still stays around which I'm grateful, and I would do the same with him if time did come to it. Depression been getting better slowly at it without therapy, but it hasn't been the easiest thing. My physical health...could be better.

All in all it's just kinda iffy.
 
Well, I hate my job, the amount of debt I have, and I don't have the opportunity to exercise regularly currently. I'm pretty good with everything else though.
 
Job - I just started a new job that is essentially the title I've been working for years to obtain. I'm making more money than I ever have and so far I'm really liking the company as a whole. Been here 3 months and everything so far is looking up.

Home - I'm on the fence about this one. I'm currently closing on a house that I'm going in together with my in-laws. The idea is because we all of the sudden need full time care for my 4 year old daughter and this will ultimately end up being the cheapest route and in 2 years according to our plan, work out for the better for all of us.... or so it looks that way on paper.

Location - I'm back in DC where I grew up after living for 5 years in ass-backwards Arizona. In Arizona, I weathered 3 layoffs, dealt daily with ignorant and crazy locals, lost a house and my daughter got incredibly sick, so I'm pretty glad to be back in a "normal" environment.

Relationship - I'll have been married 11 years in December. I love my wife, but she's still in Arizona caring for my daughter. She still has 2 months before my daughter is well enough to come out. We had planned to move me out to DC, get a job and then she'd follow. I moved out, got a job, and my 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. My wife has been back in Arizona caring for her alone because my daughter is too sick to make the move without treatment. That should rectify itself in early November when she moves into a new phase of treatment.

Social - I have no social life. I'm a 38 year old family man separated from half of his family. My friends are all online. I'm oddly content with this. Obviously I want my family with me, but as far as anyone outside of that, I really couldn't care less.

Health - I'm 6'3" and 225lbs and feel that I'm too fat, but I'm also too lazy to stick with a regiment that will take care of that. Other than that, I'm very healthy. I fear my stress level with my daughter though might catch up to me soon.
 
- Your job? Yes, very lucrative and very fun, demanding however

- Your home? Working on buying my first home this Fall at 23

- Your location? Beautiful part of the country

- Your relationship status? Non existent due to work

- Your social life? Non existent due to work

- Your health? Best shape of my life

At my age and at this point in my life (and after years of misery), I would not sacrifice my job for a great social life. Time will tell if I'm making a mistake.
 
- Your job? No, I don't like it. Actually, the company I work for is not bad, but the project I'm currently assigned to is.
- Your home? Live with my parents, but don't really look forward to living alone. So I'm comfortable with that.
- Your location? No, I don't like my country's current situation, nor politics, nor anything.
- Your relationship status? Which relationship, that with my hand? I'm forever alone, so no.
- Your social life? See answer above.
- Your health? Don't do any kind of physical activity nor play any sport. Outside of that, I'm pretty much healthy (or as much as one can be without exercising).

Wish you the best of luck with you're daughter's leukemia.
Hope she gets well sooner than later.
 
- Your job?Nope. It has moved from a fun, low paying start up to a boring, low paying corporate hell. I'm also soon to be unemployed as I have to move to a different state to be with my wife. 10 applications so far and zero callbacks. :(

- Your home?Living on a friends couch. Not that happy.

- Your location?Love Boston, but I'm moving soon. Charlottesville seems like a swell place to live. It will definitely be an interesting change.

- Your relationship status?I love my wife more than anything. I could not have found a better partner.

- Your social life?Great friends and my wife is my best friend. Again, moving to a new town will disrupt this quite a bit.

- Your health?I'm healthy, but since I've turned 30 I can feel the steady decline setting in.

Add that all together and you would think I'm mildly happy or mildly unhappy. I'm actually so pleased with my life and it really comes down to my wife. She motivates me and I could not be more content. Everything else is secondary.
 
- Your job?
Pay isn't too hot but that's about the only negative, the job itself is not very stressful most of the time and the people I'm working with are really nice for the most part. Did my internship here and then got hired after, going 3 years now.

- Your home?
Renting, its more than enough for me.

- Your location?
Location of apartment is really good, not fancy but very convenient. In relation to my work it sucks though, have about a 3.5 hour daily work commute :/

- Your relationship status?
Single and I'm fine with that.

- Your social life?
Introvert/loner and I'm fine with that.

- Your health?
Nothing to complain about.
 
- Your job? - Yes, though I haven't had a raise in quite some time and have been promoted sideways quite a few times, which results in me doing the same job under increasingly awesome monikers (I'm a producer now, that's pretty f'n cool, just wish I was getting producer money...)
- Your home? - I just moved, I'm not really that happy with it. For the first time in a long long LOOONG time, I don't think of the place I live as a sanctuary. I'll probably change that up next year, even if it means having to move again.
- Your location? - Boston is...fine. It has things. There are times where I wonder if I've just outlived it though. Besides concerts and bars, there's not much for me here.
- Your relationship status? - Single, mostly because I have insanely high standards that no girl will ever meet. I wish I had someone, but I refuse to settle and when people who I should like give me signals, I'm too dumb to pick up on them. I need more reliable wingmen.
- Your social life? - I recently had a falling out with pretty much all my friends, so no, I'm not really happy with it. Part of me just wants to call them up and apologize, even though the crux of the falling out isn't my fault but I'm just going to get angry about it later on because they refuse to change and when I confront them about what they're doing that upsets me, they look at my like I'm crazy because they don't think what they're doing is wrong.

But I miss them.

- Your health? - Yeah, I'm okay with it. Had a scare at the beginning of the year which rushed me to the hospital, but ever since, I've been totally fine. Lost 30 pounds, starting to get cut, no complaints there.
 
Job - Good job. Good hours. Good pay. Can't complain.

Home - Living with good friends in a house. Can't complain.

Location - 10 minute walk from work. I also have a vehicle so getting around town is not an issue. Can't complain.

Relationship - Non existent. At 25, I'm disappointed that I've never been in a relationship. I'll work on it.

Social Life - I hang out with several groups of friends regularly. I play board games, video games, host movie nights, go to dinner, play golf, play pool. Only problem is nearly all my friends are male, and I'm not interested in bars/clubing, which is an issue when it comes to meeting women. I'm not close friends with any women, really.

Health - I was overweight and sedentary over a year ago. Since then, I've gone down to a normal weight, and have been working out. I'm feeling a lot better for sure. Occasional joint pain, and a mild case of tinnitus. I can't really complain too much. (acne is a problem I'd like to be rid of though...even though it's mild, it's been with me for a decade, so I'm considering Accutane at this point).
 
- Your job?
Yes. I'm in the field I want to be in and I'm making enough money to support myself and still have some spending money left over.

- Your home?
Absolutely. I own my home and I love it.

- Your location?
Yes, I moved here for a reason and things seem to be falling into place nicely.

- Your relationship status?
No, not even close. My last relationship ended over 3 years ago and it still haunts me. I have no game, no social graces, I'm unattractive, and I have trouble taking initiative. I think I'm just screwed here.

- Your social life?
For the most part, yes. I go out for drinks with co-workers on occasion and I have a few good friends that I can sit around and bullshit with at home.

- Your health?
So far, so good. I could stand to lose some weight and probably eat better, but I have nothing significant that affects me on a daily basis.

So on the happiness scale, I'm guessing I'm above average. I'm okay with that.
 
- Your job? - Co-Own and operate a family business. It gets a bit crazy at times, and it does, in fact put stress on our relationships outside of the business, but I think a bit of that is expected. The upside is that I get the opportunity to go to lunch with my dad and brother every single day, and has been that way for the last 8 years or so. It pays all of our bills and it's flexible and allows for my wife to be a stay at home mom so I really have no room to complain.

- Your home? - I remodeled it about six months ago. It's great. Nothing over the top, but was able to put a pool in and I'm really happy with it.

- Your location? - I like the city I live in, but eventually I'd like to live on the water.

- Your relationship status? - Married for 9 years. Dated her for 6 years prior. We've got 3 kids and one on the way, so I'd be lying if I said this is how I envisioned our relationship when we first got married, but I couldn't imagine being with anyone else at this point.

- Your social life? - It's tough with all these kids. A lot of my childhood friends haven't even thought about having kids yet, and I've almost got 4, so it's just different. We've made new friends though through the kids school. They're good people and we have similar situations, so we get together when we can.

- Your health? - It's kind of scary, because nothing bad has really ever happened to me or anyone close to me. I come from a family of 5 kids, and now my parents have accumulated 13 grand kids as a result. All of us are perfectly healthy. I can't help but think that someone's number is going to come up sooner or later, and frankly it freaks the shit out of me.
 
- Your job? Unemployed.

- Your home? Nice house surrounded by a not so great area.

- Your location? Philadelphia, shitty city, no fond memories here.

- Your relationship status? Never been in one.

- Your social life? Non-existent.

- Your health? The best thing I have going for me.
 
- Your job? It's good lately, i change jobs every few years or so, but the money and fun is there usually. Also got a lot of money saved over the last 10 years, so i dont have to worry about anything.
- Your home? Living in a nice, recently renovated, 3½ apartment. It's pretty nice and the price is just right. My 3 months kitten love it too!
- Your location? Good spot, love Quebec City. Not too huge like Montreal and not too small like those tiny villages that barely have 1000 citizens. Plus my parents and brothers all lives nearby, so its great.
- Your relationship status? I wish i had one, or at least experience it once in my life someday. :(
- Your social life? Always been the quiet/shy kind of guy, so i don't have a lot of friends and my evenings usually mean browsing the internet, watching movies/tv shows and playing video games.
- Your health? My health is good, rarely get sick or anything. i just wish i wasn't so damn skinny.

I would give my life a 7/10. I would add one point if i had a girlfriend, another if i was more social and another if i wasn't so skinny.
 
- Your job?

Yes love it! Systems Engineer

- Your home?

Not thrilled, the only piece of the puzzle left. I'm renting still and saving for a house. I will be a homeowner within the next 18 months for sure though.

- Your location?

YES! Southern California is the location of the gods. Beautiful weather all year round, and access to pretty much anything I want at anytime. Disneyland? Hollywood? The beach? Snowboarding? Sure, I can do all of those in one day if I want. Also, all of my family lives in socal, most within about 4 miles of my wife and I. We hang with them every week and its amazing to have that luxury. Family and friends matter most to me so to have all of them within arms reach means life is grand.

- Your relationship status?

Very happily married to my best friend! Was single my entire 20s by choice, never settled for any woman other than what I deemed was the prime cream of the crop and a diamond in the rough. It took me 10 years but I found her and married her within a year. No regrets and I would do it over 100 times again.

- Your social life?

YES! Even though my wife and I have a 2 year old and another on the way any day (wife is 36 weeks pregnant) we go out with friends every week. We socialize so much even in our 30s, but thats because my circle of friends is super tight and about 15 guys strong (not including wives/gf's). Most of us have known eachother and been friends now for over 20 years.

Just got back from a weekend in Laughlin, NV for a bachelor party and headed to another this weekend in Palm Springs. Social butterfly

- Your health?

Yes, I am in good health. I go to the gym 4 days a week, cycle to the beach on saturdays, eat right and take care of my body. Looking forward to being healthy the rest of my life.

Overall my life is and has always been a 9/10. I love life, and I live life. I always leave room for improvement in every aspect so I cannot give myself a 10/10. I never will, because there is more happiness to be had.

No to everything. My life is shit and I don't see it getting better at this point. My health is okay although now I'm dealing with some kind of weird injury to my rib(?) that is fucking my shit up, and it hurts like a goddamn bitch. My life is little more than a countdown to death at this point. If it weren't for tv I don't know what I'd do with my free time.
 
- Your job?
Not at all. I still don't know what kind of job I want, so here I am at this mindless temp job doing data entry for 8 hours a day. Come in, put my headphones on, don't talk to anyone, go home. I used to have a few friends which was nice, but they've all left now, and everyone else is so clique-ish that it's hard for an introvert like me to fit in. The days feel so long, I'm completely miserable, nothing interesting has ever happened, and I don't feel useful to society at all.

- Your home?
It was fine, until the landlord sold the building to this new guy. Just found out that I have 30 days to move a few days ago, and the apartment hunt is going much like my job hunt - tons of emails and phone calls sent out and not a single one returned.

- Your location?
I wouldn't mind moving somewhere else (city/state/country) but I don't know how I would find a job somewhere else when I can't even find one here (Pittsburgh PA).

- Your relationship status?
Married to my best friend for the past 3 years, living together for 5. This year has been a little hard on us, but there's still no one I'd rather be with. She's usually exhausted and doesn't feel like doing anything after work, but since starting my current job earlier this year, I've been getting really stir crazy. I sit all day at work doing nothing, so I'd rather not do more of the same *every* night at home.

- Your social life?
Non existant. Hard to remember what having friends is like. I don't like just "hanging out" though, like at a bar or coffee shop or whatever... I need to have a purpose or be doing something, like going to an event or just playing video games together. Pretty much all of my old friends grew out of gaming and just like to get drunk/high, which I have no interest in.

- Your health?
I do eat very healthy and exercise regularly, but there are some long-standing health problems I would like to have checked into if/when I ever get health insurance. For instance, I have had a sore throat 24/7 for the past few years. It gets much worse when I talk, so that has also contributed to my lack of friends/conversation with others. I chew gum all day long to help with it, but it's still a major annoyance. I've also devloped a very sore butt & back from sitting all day at work. I try to get up and move as much as possible, and go for a walk or run on my lunch break, but it's still just too much.

I used to be much more happy-go-lucky and content, but I've just been in a funk the past few months. I think it's mostly because of my job, which I've been trying desperately to get out of but having no luck. I hate feeling sorry for myself, but at this point, I don't even know where to turn or what to do to improve my situation.
 
Nope. It's been a downhill slope since about 2009 and I can't find a viable way to get myself out of the circumstance that I find myself in. Some days are still okay, but others I'm just so tired of struggling.
 
- Your job? Yes but I really should have been where I am at 10 years ago. I pissed away my 20's.

- Your home? I am lucky to live where I do. and pay what I pay.
- Your location? Los Angeles is gods resting grounds.
- Your relationship status? 5 years of tests, but its still going.
- Your social life? I am a hermit, and an introvert. I have 0 social life.
- Your health? I thought I would be dead 4 years ago.(cancer) God I am happy to be alive. I do everything I want in life, I would go out with a smile if it happened today. what a ride it has been. Loved every minute of it. even the bad times. Such a cool experience life is.

Gaming has gotten me through some hard times in my life. I am not embarrassed to say that I am in my 30's and I play almost every day. Do what makes you happy everyday. I smoke like I want to die, but its the opposite, I just like to do what makes me happy.
 
29 years old. I could easily be defined as either an on-going student for the past 12 years, or
a college dropout depending on who you ask. I just like to tell people I have an AA in Computer Science and leave it at that.

- Your job? Started a new position at an old job finally doing what I've always wanted to do: software development. Slightly terrifying as all new jobs are, and I'm drowning in a sea of acronyms as I try to understand the existing system, but all in all, it's stimulating and pays a lot better than the already comfortable wage I made before. And if I don't fuck this up, I have a big raise coming within the year on top of that. Pretty happy.

- Your home? My sister bought a small home as an investment recently. I'm renting it from her at her cost, and am subletting the place to three friends (an about to be married couple, and a male friend). It's a nice place, and the roommates are fine, but I'm basically living in a small room, and it's been cramped. I've been thinking about moving for at least a year now, but haven't done so for a lot of reasons. I've made plans to sit down, assess my finances and figure out what I want to do at the end of the year, so I can move to a new place by mid-2013. Happy enough.

- Your location? I've always lived in Florida, aside from a small stint in northern California. I really don't like it here. I have a decent group of friends, a good job, and it's nice to be close to family, but overall I've never really liked it here. The infamous weather does nothing for me, as I'm sort that enjoys the passing of actual seasons (instead of the "dry heat, wet heat, windy heat, random heat" that we get here). The night life was never really for me, and I grown decreasingly interested in it as I get older. At least there's the occasional concert or event that comes to town that's nice. Dissatisfied

- Your relationship status? Single. I was almost married long ago, and since I've been an on-again, off-again dater. Nothing has really stuck. Only two of them since the ex-fiancee have really left a lasting mark on me. One is dead (no joke), the other treated me like crap, and I haven't completely forgiven her for it. Last chick was older, had a kid. Crazy hot, and sort of crazy. I miss her kid more than I miss her though. Laying low for the near future, not looking for anything. Happy enough.

- Your social life? I'm very much a loner, but I've been incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by friends. Especially in the last few years, in my living situation, I'm constantly surrounded by friends, even when I don't want to be. I don't go out incredibly often or anything, but when I do, it's quality. Happy

- Your health? I'm grossly overweight despite being fortunate enough to have a frame where it doesn't show as much. I need to slim down. Already buying the right kinds of food, and setting up a small area for me to work out at home. I may pick up a gym membership again too, as I used to be a swimmer, and I miss it. My teeth are a mess and I'm terrified to go to the dentist, but I've got an appointment coming up. My hypothyroidism is doing ok lately, but I could probably do with a full checkup soon. Needs attention

All in all, life is pretty ok right now. I'm very fortunate in these times to have a job that pays well, and a cheap living situation, despite lacking the expected educational qualifications. It'd be nice to find someone to settle down with, but then I'm kind of afraid finding that special someone will tie me to staying in Florida, which was a problem back when I almost got married. Then again, I'm almost 30 now. Maybe it's time to let that dream go. I dunno.

So I got everything I want and need except a gf. I'm not trying hard enough, I'm picky and I got approach anxiety and confidence issues with women. Oh well :)
