I voted for "rather happy". Something inside me doesn't allow me to feel "very happy".. I try to see the good side in everything. An intelligent and skilful person transforms losses into profits. I educated myself to not feel overly troubled when I am afflicted with sickness or a loss in wealth.In the past I used to suffer because I used to set too high expectations. Not anymore!

I thought I knew the definition of happiness. I don't.
Right now? Ridiculously happy, to a level I didn't know possible! But, it wasn't always so, so take heart. If "stupidly content" can happen to me, it can to you as well.

I'll try to keep it in mind
No reason why not, Max! No reason at all.

I'm satisfied and content with life.
You know I had brain fever, and that is to be mad.
Happy as I began this post: desolate on finishing.
"Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself"
A lot happier than yesterday. The I.R.S. is going to give me a refund.
This one was difficult.
I put "rather happy" because I'm content, but I'm more stoic than anything.
(Hence why my stepfather told me I have a heart of stone because I didn't cry at my grandfather's funeral).
"I drag myself out of nightmares each morning and find there's no relief in waking."
'cause people often want us to cry in public.
Things I would like to improve in myself include to not so swift to reply without first checking the membership date or country of origin of posters.
I've made a few throw away comments and cracked witticisms that I later think get misinterpreted as gnarly (probably not, but I'd like to stop feeling that way)
Other than this slight tinge of regret I'm like the tip of the iceberg and I'm about to post the first chapter of my new novel (criticise it whist it's in progress and be damned!)
I also stumbled upon a forgotten olde worke that I'd like to polish some.
I'm a bit worried about posting because I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I really don't want to be seen to be showing off (curiously I don't care if others do, and actually like it when they are - so bring it on Showoffs, showoff whatcha got!)
I wrote a short short story which was just the barest essence of a tale, perhaps I should start with that?
Here goes:
It’ll never work.
Yes it will - you’ll see.
Or not, if it does.
When it does.
And when is when?
After this final adjustment...
He put the spanner down, placed his hand on the lever, and they looked into each others eyes for the last time.
And together they became invisible.
If you are only happy as the person you feel, does that mean happy polygamists are even more happy than happy monogamists?
Exactly. He wasn't exactly being fair about it, and honestly if I could cry over it I would have just so I wouldn't have looked as 'heartless' (though it really isn't all that heartless).
"I drag myself out of nightmares each morning and find there's no relief in waking."
Sounds like it makes sense
Also, some of us prefer to cry in private, under our own methods, away from the scrutiny of society and "society's crying procedures."
