happiness. . . A question for the fam

I saw this note on facebook from a previous dating interest to tune of "My life sucks." Boo Hoo. This is why this guy was a previous interest. Nobody wants to date a downer! (Or even be friends with one.)
These are my opinions, and why I work so hard to keep up the apperance of being happy all the time. (Sometimes I'm genuinely happy with my life!) Who would want to date me if I was unhappy all the time? That's no fun!

Is this feeling true? I guess that if two people are depressed together then they would be okay. .but who wants that?

My mom always told me that before you date you have to be happy with/love yourself before anyone else can. I am (mostly) happy with myself (I accept who I am now, so that's a start). There's things I would change, but yeah, I am fully happy with myself. . .

I don't think I'm pretending nearly as much these days. . .

Family, do you agree?

  1. I think the strides you have made, this past year especially, are HUGE! I think being happy w/ yourself and your life is a constant choice. So is being vaunerable with people to share that burden of when you're not. No matter what this family will ALWAYS love you!!

  2. AGREED! It's funny -- I was just thinking about that yesterday. I think this summer's been a great experience for you and you seem more accepting (and dare I say) happy with where you are...
