I don’t mean like how happy you are today. I mean overall, are you satisfied with everything you are up until this point? For me, for an example, I have a decent job that keeps my head just above water. I have a loving family that I see every couple months or weeks. I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. But, overall, I’m sort of lonely and exhausted from constantly working. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, I’m about a 6.
Less than I should be. I’m honestly blessed. I won the generic and familial lottery. I’m tall, and despite being pretty lazy, in fairly good shape. While not super loaded, my family is solid upper middle class. Like I didn’t go to a private school, but if I’m hurting they will usually bail me out. I inherited property after graduating college. I have a fairly successful, if not inconsistent, business.
But I’m still sad most days. That might be because of the current US administration’s bullshit.
Objectively, I’m a solid 9/10. But I feel like 5/6 on most days in terms of happiness.
