Happiness comes from being content

[Serotonin]

You should know short term rewards only satisfy you for awhile until another short term goal takes it's place.I'm happy when i'm calm i like calm settings they really relax me still waters are so beautiful

so true..

being calm, and at peace is the best. and by yourself, just relaxed. that's why i like yoga =] it's so relaxing.. and after you can just lie there like ya.. and all content and relaxed and it's a good feeling [for me at least].. espeshully after a hectic week and what not.. yaa.. =]

wow i feel like I'm on an episode of oprah winfrey :)
(she's cool!)

i'm "content" rather than "happy" when I'm alone.. ya I know I sound like a loser, but it makes me feel secure.. especially if I'm at home.. I can spend quite a lot of time by myself and not get bored... although ofcourse, there are times when I just HAVE to get out...

yeah..little things in life make me happy..but only for the while that they last or i can remember them...or when i think back..and the feeling of calmness..i luv it..just staring into a dark starlit sky or walking by the beach or sitting in my room....thinking..it gives me peace...just being able to relax~..its nice~

u were baked when u wrote that weren't u...?

i'm with u on the thought though man... each day that passes, i feel more in need of peace & quiet. i'm starting to appreciate getting older.

i set out my sunday's as my own little "religious" day. basically i sit at home, drink coffee, read, write, listen to soft classical music, and enjoy my time alone. actually i do this almost every day now, i have so much time to myself, i love it. bobism.

and about the still waters... there's this lake up in hope, silver lake. absolutely beautiful... i was there this summer for a couple days. me and my friend just sat on the shore all day, went through a flat of beer, nobody around us. then the geese came and we starting fighting... i think we lost. beautiful view though, everywhere around u is mountains, no clearcuttings, a couple waterfalls... astonishing. ahhh serenity.

there's sooooo many places in BC like that. it's the only reason i like it here...
