Re: On the nature of happiness

(Anonymous) 2025-04-02 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Been asking myself this a lot lately (er, minus the last part). I am coming to terms with how fucked up my childhood was and the limitations I have from that. Not gonna get into the whole thing here, but I come from a *really* messed up family background and my physical health is affected by that. On one level I'm lucky that I'm even alive and made it out of there. On another level... idk, what do I want to do? What do I care about? Who am I? Is this all there is?

I really want a peaceful life and to find contentment in the day to day. I feel a lot of anguish over there not really being... IDK, a big reward at the end of the suffering, something to console me for what I went through. It's just a bland life with everyday problems. Insurance phone calls. Getting rejected for jobs. Working shitty jobs. Getting sick. Flashbacks. Cleaning my apartment. Hobbies. I never pictured making it this far or the everyday things. I thought I would die before I was 25, or that if I somehow made it out everything would magically work out perfect and I would be happy all the time. I actually could never have visualized the mundane life I have now, full of good and bad things. My worldview is shaped by extreme highs and lows, not the stability I have now, I had a very naive mindset in a way.

So, idk. I guess I'm trying to answer for myself right now what being happy means to me and what I can do to be happier in my own life. I have to figure out for myself what I even see as a good life. I never really thought about it until a couple years ago. I also have to be honest with myself and give myself space to be sad about the things I lost.

My situation might be kind of extreme, but I think part of it is just aging and is something everyone can relate to somewhat, in that we all have to figure out what we can do within our limitations and what we see as worth our time.

I don't got anything I can say to that, but I don't want to leave such an honest comment un-responded to.

So, thank you for sharing your perspective, I'm sorry about your past, and I hope you have more good days than bad.

Thanks brother, wishing good days to you too. Wanted to give an honest answer, even if it was kind of a downer, lol. I'll probably (hopefully) have something more optimistic or at least less all over the place to say in a few months or years or something, but right now I'm still just trying to get my head around what it means to me.
