On paper my life is perfect, why am I not happy -
January 16th 2012, 04:12 AM
Honestly, I bet so many people would die for my life, but yet I'm not happy. What is wrong with me? Why can't I be happy? I just want to be happy!!
I'm just a girl that wants to believe in fairytales again... Stay Strong <3 Faking a smile is so easy to do |

Happiness is something only you can bring. Remember, Happiness is temporary and no one will be happy 24/7. The best thing I can say is be thankful for what you have - and stop thinking about what you don't. Maybe if you work at a soup kitchen, or something similar you will realize how good you have it.
Best wishes, Chris Chris Jackson

There are so many things that bring me happiness - relationships, goals/activities, hobbies/leisure time, etc. At your age, you are still discovering what will bring you happiness. You are also dealing with fluctuating hormones, which can affect your mood (regardless of what you're doing to achieve happiness). My advice is to find the things that will bring you temporary happiness when you're feeling down (ex. going out for coffee or reading a good book), as well as find the things that will consistently bring you happiness (ex. joining a club/organization at school that gives you a sense of purpose/accomplishment). It's not going to be instantaneous, you may need to change things up from time to time (as your interests change), and like Chris said, you will never be happy 24/7... but there are plenty of things you can do in order to strive toward a happier life. =)
