Hey, I have a question, little flist.
I'm not trying to be deep or introspective or wordy in any way, it was just something that crossed my mind last night; and I realized that I didn't know the answer, and hard as I tried it was hard to really force myself to pick one.
This is a personal question, from YOUR point of view. So no answers like "it varies from person to person!" or "that's an inconsistent thing." You, right NOW.
Which do you think is closer to 'happiness' for you? Or which would be the main factor in getting there, will help you find it, in your mind?
Is it being
satisfied at your accomplishments, achievements, being self-sufficient? i.e. graduating from a good school, attending college, getting your dream job and being good at it.
Or is it feeling
comfortable and cared for? Finding someone who can love you and appreciate you, and/or good friends, who will be by your side and support you through life. Putting thing more like 'family' and 'marriage' over a 'ideal career' and 'good schooling'.
I don't know, teenagerdom feels a lot like it's everyone trying to get to an end goal what with how everyone tries to hard to pass high school and to slide into college. But then I wonder if that's really honestly because it would make them happy to be accomplished (and go through hell to get there) or because it's obligatory with no questions asked.
