I'm probably one of the happiest people you'll find. Things don't always go my way but that doesn't get to me. It's not like I've had a life that most would consider as being condusive to happiness, I was kidnapped when I was five and spent two weeks being abused in every way a person can be, my Dad was a dirty cop who got busted for armed robbery which led to the discovery that he had been selling drugs as well, we were dirt poor, I didn't sleep in a bed till I was about 14, one of my closest friends was murdered in front of me because he refused to hand over the key to his house to some punks, anyway the list goes on. I believe that our environment can only influence our state of mind to the extent that we allow it to. I am in charge of my emotions, not the other way around.
I wish you strength and success in you own quest for happiness.
