Am I happy ?
It’s almost the end of the year. I’ve been wondering lately : am I happy ? is this what I wanna do ? is there something I’d like to change in my life ?
Am I happy ?
It’s true that I complain quite often about this and that. But as some might say : happy is the one with only little worries. Happy ? I guess I am then. I must be the luckiest man on this planet ! I have a wonderful girlfriend, I live in a nice country, I have the job I wanted to have, I keep learning every day, I have time for sport, I can spent many hours on my computer to play or to code, I’m healthy (no serious disease), I can buy some presents for Christmas, and perhaps receive some, etc.
Is this what I wanna do ?
So far so good I’d say. Like I said, I have a good job. I wanted to code, I code. Working conditions are good and salary is ok. Colleagues are nice too. It is busy sometimes, but also with periods with (almost) nothing to do. This gives me some time to code for myself, and learn new things. As long as it is like this, why should I change ? I also have plenty small projects that I like to do, and whenever I don’t feel like doing one for a while, I “pause” it and “resume” it later.
There are a few things I’d like to do before I start a family and everything. I can’t tell you now, but let’s say … it’s a big dream, and I need about two years to prepare it.
Is there something I’d like to change in my life ?
Not much … Perhaps a bit bigger apartment would help keep our stuff tidier ? I’d love it with an extra room for guests and IT stuff. So that I could keep a computer running 24/7 without having to bear the noise. For now, even with a lot of work silencing the PC, it still does too much noise for me to keep it running all night. Also, if it could be in an area with better connection to the city center and less road noise around, it’d be perfect. I know I’m asking a lot, but if something needs to be changed, that’s the only thing I can think of.
I don’t write this to show off or something. But this blog is also for me a place where I can say things for myself, like in a journal. Today, I needed to make a sort of review of my life, before I go any further. I don’t do this often, but usually when I’m having tough times, unhappy moments, depressing days and so on. I thought it was important to notice also when I’m happy.
Good night !
