How hard is to just be happy? So now that the growth of money is growing and we love money are we happier? Although there is an increase in the financial status of the newer generations, were no happier than those before us. The study of depression and anxiety go hand and hand. Although they are opposites of one another research has concluded that they both fall along the lines of our conscious emotions. Studies have shown those who live every day without planned actions are happier than those who plan every future event before its time.

However, what can we do to be happy? It solely lies in the genetic and biological make-up of the person being affected. There is a way to be significantly happier than you are. Not setting goals in stone. Yes, it's ok to know what you want to do, but pressuring yourself to do things at a set time makes it no better on your end. Keeping all objectives in the present creates a notable difference in your happiness. Doing things for someone other than yourself can benefit your joy. Volunteer work, for example, can bring happiness, because knowing that you’ve helped someone else gives you a feeling of fulfillment. Not doing the same thing all the time also plays a major part in your happiness status. Being able to predict every day as If you’re reliving the same day over and over isn’t the ideal situation. Imagine happiness as a state in which you’re filled with joy. It’s like getting a month long paid vacation time from work. That’s how you should think of happiness. Not something you must do to get the full fulfillment of being “Happy”.

The way you look at life also determines your happiness’. The difference between optimistic people and pessimistic people. Of course, we know Optimistic; hopeful and confident about the future, and Pessimistic; tending to see the worst of things or believing the worse will happen. Also, to be happy, you should practice not associating happiness with your goals. This is because when your goals are not met your happiness projects this emotion. People who focus on conquering a goal that they’ve created for themselves are not as happy as those who don’t. Just go with the flow, and do as you please always!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
