Has anyone truly been 100% happy?

Has anyone truly been 100% happy?

It’s not just me, right? I have it all it would seem. The job, the guy, the faith, the family, the home, and the oh-so-big empty void that never seems to go away. It fades from time to time, then it screams at you unexpectedly just to let you know it never left. Thinking of what could’ve been or could be if you just walk away from your great life and start again. Reunite an old flame, or be that wandering carefree fool. It makes me sad to know I’ll never have the courage to do any of that. I should be grateful for everything I have. Smile and put a piece of gum in the hole for now, I suppose. Just thinking.

I think you’ve just answered your own query.

Can you trick yourself into thinking you’re happy? Or are you really happy and you think you’re tricking yourself, just to sabotage yourself subconciously?

I like the word query. Thank you for that.

In Spain, on vacation, lazing around with my 10-day summer love- I felt content; at peace.

Then we parted ways and I spent the next 2 1/2 months of my European vacation moping…

I don’t think its all that courageous to leave ones family. Seams more like weaselly cowardice to me.

Hm, not the question. By family, I do not mean children by any means. I would never leave my family behind. You have negative energy, by the way. Don’t do that.

I have had that void…that ever present reminder of a life that could be. The guy, the job, the home, the life. I also had a moment in life when I was forced to face my own truth, what the ever present void was screaming at me. So I changed it all. The job, the guy, the home, the life. I am still changing it and it has been amazing. Is it easy? No. Does it hurt? Yes. Yet, somehow, I know through the pain that on the other side is something so much better than the life I had. The void is not so much an empty whole, rather the truth trying to set you free. You have the courage…the hardest is telling yourself the truth. In six short months my life has had unimaginable changes. My husband and I are divorcing, my best friend lost the battle to her illness, another friend was killed in Iraq, I moved, I left my first house, and I changed jobs. So what have I gained through all of this heartache? I gained me..I found myself somewhere in the middle of that void and I will never turn back. It was the best worst year…2008 and I am grateful for every minute of it. 100% happiness? Absolutely!!!

I actually have been 100% feelingfully, emotionally happy for time periods long enough that I exhausted all capacity for happiness then was completely numb and couldn’t feel anything for days. I get the feeling that is not exactly what you are talking about, but it must be relevant.

I’ve discovered that you can hold yourself back without even knowing you are doing it. It’s not about the job, or the place you live, or the people you have, it’s about what you make of it. I’ve been enjoying the very minor things and letting go of them too. It’s made all the difference, and as a result people around me are happier too. Thanks for all the advice, it seems I just had to listen to myself more.
