To be honest, I am not happy with my life. I have so many regrets - that for me is too late to resolve.
- I had an unhappy childhood. There were a lot of times that I didn't get the support that I needed even if it was school-related. Despite them having the means to help me, they didn't.
- I was a victim of bullying during my high school years which came to a point that I loathed going to class every day.
- I can't be myself whenever I am around with my family. Because they are too judgmental.
- I have wasted a lot of my time with the wrong people.
- I have been cheated on/lied to for a couple of times.
- I am not financially stable so I can't live a life I've always wanted.
- I have anxiety issues.
... and whatnot.
Sorry for ranting about some of my life problems. I just need to let it out.
Are you generally happy?

I am been through a lot in my past and there were times when I wasn't happy with my life and things that happened and where I was but I didn't let it get me down. It made me more determined to find happiness. Today I am overall pretty happy with my life and where I am at. Life is good. You must never give up. Life is too short and too precious to waste it being anything but happy.

@freelancermariagrace I know it isn't easy to do but start with small steps. Try to focus on the good and never stop believing in a better future.

@freelancermariagrace Life is always a roller coaster ride. You have to know how not to fall off off and get hurt.

Sorry to hear about the causes of your unhappiness. We have to fight life. Let's not allow negative people to kill our dreams. This time I'm also not happy with the recent situation of planet Earth. We lost our freedom. We're deprived by life's happiness. But we have to be hopeful. In my life, I also encountered many obstacles , but I'm so thankful for I am a fighter. We need to fight every battle that wants to block our dreams. Life is still great with the Lord our God.

But that's life, its up to you to create your own happiness. I can't control the circumstances in my life but I get rid of habits that makes me miserable and adopt those that makes me happier. Yes, I am happy as I want to be.

what was their reason for not supporting you for school-related stuff?
where they also unsupportive of your siblings?
did you report the bullying to your teachers/guidance counselor/principal?

I'm 40 and starting to learn to be happy again because when else will I enjoy the life given to me. I know you are beautiful inside and out and deserve to be happy.
I also rant and its okay. It makes us feel better afterwards.

Oh so sorry to hear of your woes.
Its not easy but you have to find a way to move on now and put the past to bed.
Making the right choices from now on will help.
Make this a New Dawn.
Be happy. We are after all here for a good time, and not a long time
