I have pretty dark moments sometimes, but then I step back and look at things objectively, realize my life is sweet, got a nice job, a lovely gf, great friends, going to Uni next year, etc.

What really helped was just going to India, as everyone always says who go on these trips, but even before that, you just gotta go with the flow. Im not a religious guy, Im a scientist/analyst, so ultimately I know theres little hope for me since my time on Earth will mean null in the grand scale of things, but thats a bummer, so I just want to use what I've been given to have a good time and help everyone else to have a good time with me. As corny as it sounds (dont slam me for this), and I know Im not the first to say this, but i define myself through the quality of the connections I have with people, because the only constant in our world is comraderie and love.

So yeah, I'm satisfied.

I'm satisfied with what I've got going on right now. I have people that love me, people that look up to me, people that count me as a friend, but not as much time as I'd like to spend with all those people mostly because I have so much going on at the moment in my professional life. Of course all the things that are going on with regards to work are all my choosing and are all interesting to me, so although I complain a bit about how much I always have to do, it's all stuff I love doing so in the grand scheme of things I have it pretty good.

It's not too often that someone can say that their #1 passion and hobby in life is also what pays their bills. I know I'm very fortunate to experience that.

The question here is..are you really satisfied with what you have?

This begs the question: Does having things make you satisfied?

I would say I'm happy with who I am and where I am. I am not sure I can say I'm satisfied, nor am I sure that I want to be able to say that. I'm grateful for the comforts in life, friendships, opportunities and so on, but to say I'm satisfied seems to imply complacency. Perhaps it's just because I'm young, but I have trouble imagining a day where I'm not trying to reach the next goal. Maybe there will come a day that happens, but I'm not there yet.

I don't count the material things I have as the factor to my happiness. Maybe that's because I can afford them. I also don't count 'satisfaction' as the criteria. That strongly implies a permanent state of plateau. I want to always strive for the next level. Sometimes that level is not yet clearly defined. I am evolving. I am happy now and will probably become happier.

material things aren't really apart of the satisfaction i get everyday.maybe i should be happy that i have a car to drive in the mornings and that i dont walk, i have a lovely home, thus i dont live on the street.whats scary though is that most people take these things for granted and they think that life cant get any worse, thus i think those type of people should take material things into account so that they can be more gratefull.
life is amazing for me though, i have an amazing family,my mom and i are so close, havnt seen my dad for about 6 years but in a way it is sattisfactory because i dont have to always argue with two people if we deeling with a situation.My career is also very succesfull and friends..couldnt ask for more:)& i dont need love at the moment, yes i would love to have a boyfriend.but i dont need one to make me satisfied!

I'm satisfied. There's some things I wish I could do and stuff I'm striving for, but I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

What would make me real happy though is if my best friend could get his life in order. Now before you get the wrong impression, this best friend has been sleeping on my couch for almost two months and doesn't pick up after himself or even volunteer to take the trash out. He's got it for as long as he needs it, but I'd like my apartment back.

um why dont you just speak to him?!i know guys have this thing where they love looking out for their buddy but geez you gotta be honest though.you got to look out for you too!
just leave the house just as it is one day, see what he does.does he clean it up or just leave it the way it is?!!
