When I was single I thought I’d be happier when in a relationship, that hasn’t been the case. When I was in a relationship, I thought I was truly ready to be a mother. Now I have a 6 month old and I miss being single and child free A LOT. I have thought I would be happier in different jobs, but that is rarely the case. I am CONVINCED I would be happier living in a hotter country but won’t be leaving the UK so the cold weather here leaves me feeling down on a daily basis and yearning for the sunny sights of Los Angeles. I really dislike my current house and feel my environment affects my happiness and that I will be much happier in my next home, but only time will tell with that one. I know that there are people out there who if they had what I have, they would be much happier than me. I think my baseline happiness level is generally pretty low. I try to practice gratitude and all the other things that contribute to happiness but it makes very little difference. I have an idea in my head of what I want my life to look like, and it looks nothing like this currently. And based on past experiences, I wonder if I incorporate all those things into my life, if I will still in fact be unhappy and chasing this supposed happiness which I believe is somewhere else?
