No. Yes. Maybe. Sometimes. Not right now. I was at Christmas 1997. Is anyone happy? No. Yes. Comes and goes. “I’d be happy if. . . ” -most pointless statement ever. When “if” arrives, happiness will simply require a new “if.” Happiness is a dollar on a sidewalk. Exhilarating, but rare. I’m not happy always, but sometimes yes. Just not now.
happiness comes and goes. it can never last. what matters is contentment, which is an entire reflection of one’s life. i am happy every so often but those ups and downs overlay a lifetime of discontentment.
am i happy now? no
will i be happy tomorrow? maybe
but on both of these days and at all times in review of my existence i am discontent and that is not something non self-destructive folks can understand

No, tired. Maybe it would be time for it to end.
trying to be?
I am now.
No.
Sort of, working towards some projects that I will be quite pleased to see done… that’s the most pleasant thing I know to do.
Doesn’t feel like it, but my perspective is off. Perhaps later down the line will reflect back and not see things as so bad
I don’t think I am capable of being happy anymore. My emotional state gets worse every year and I just don’t see it ever getting better at this point.
I think I should be at least some, but I’m not. I don’t see things getting any better for me. Just mostly trying to stay for my girlfriend right now.
No.
Sadly no..
