@Gaby Maybe journaling can help, (if you’re not doing that already). Sometimes it’s hard to find time or calm to just sit down and think about where we are, what could be better, and what could be worse, if we have some aspirations we’d like to pursue and so on. Hope things will clear up. Some therapists are really good to talk to, and to help set words on feelings and to find one’s balance, others not so much.

It’s not easy for me to say either, that’s why I added “under the circumstances”. I’m not as happy as I think I remember that I was growing up, like in my tweens, but of course a lot of things weren’t that good back then either.

I think we tend to look back on our childhood and maybe teens with rosy colored glasses sometimes. I’m generally happy now, considering I have a roof over my head, I’m not starving, and I have people that I can talk to about difficult things almost daily. I also have family and some friends too. Maybe this doesn’t sound very much like happiness, but for now at least, I’m content and I hope even better things will happen. 😌
