First I think things are rolling along great, then I think things have all gone to crap, now I'm back to thinking that things are okay. and I'm pretty sure nothing has changed, its just

oh bruce, life really isnt that confusing, you just worry so much. which is understandable. i think you just have to stop trying to figure it out. your searching to hard to find what its all about when really the meaning of life is whatever you make it. and the answer to happiness is both liberating and infuriating, but here it is. happiness doesn't depend on anything that has or has not happened in the past, nor does it depend on your future prospects.
the simple fact is, in order to be happy: you must decide to be happy.
Yep. Isn't that aggravating? You can't blame it on anyone else, and no one else can do a thing for you. You've just got to decide to be happy, whether or not your logical mind thinks it is rational to be happy and whether or not your moral sense thinks you deserve to be happy. You absolutely will not be happy for any length of time until you decide to, and if you decide to, you can be happy in the face of the most miserable circumstances. feel bettter

wow, that's pretty heavy. but I think you're right on this one. I think I prolly was overthinking everything, and the simple answer of "just be happy" totally eluded me. I'm gonna have to get to work on this just deciding to be happy. so I'm off to be happy!
thanks!
