I really didn't intend to make this that kind of thing, and I apologize if it seems that was what I was doing, and I'll do my best to pull back and let this be about the more general topic of what it takes to have a happy life, and not focus so much on myself.
I'm genuinely interested in hearing from people who have a happy life and what it is that makes it so, because if I can see what it is that makes people happy, maybe I'd be able to apply that to my own life. At the very least, I like hearing stories about how people enjoy their lives.
Thank you for contributing. You seem to be another who is in the "happiness comes from within" camp. It's helpful to see that. I still don't think I buy the idea that it's just a matter of choosing happiness, but I do like seeing that there are people who have been able to do so. It gives me hope that maybe I'll be able to find whatever it is that I'm missing that'll bring me to that place.
