I get extremely tired when I try to be a happy person. I do believe that true happiness is when you are happy with yourself, the choices you make, and who you are. Unfortunately, I will never be this way. I guess I have decided that and go on with my life doing what I can to even out the scale of my unhappiness. I have happy moments, but I too feel that I'm waiting, mostly for that other shoe to drop, because it always does.
I am glad that there are people out there that can have more happiness than unhappiness.

Are you saying choosing to be happy doesn't work, or that you tried it and gave up?
