I am destined for unhappiness

It is almost as if I choose to be unhappy. Don't get me wrong, my life rocks in ways that don't exist in most cultures, but I always feel like I'm 75% happy and I'll never reach full capacity. I pick everything apart. I am always zero-ing in on the negative aspects of things and despite this flaw, I take chances in hopes of breaking out of this shell and "selling out" to certain people, ideas or situations. I used to think I was a product of my environment, but even with a new environment I see myself trending along as usual.

Why can't I be happy?

ah, la sweet. the choice of words you used shows you already have the answer...it is your CHOICE. simple as that. you choose to be happy 75% of the time...why not shoot for 100%? everything is possible...if you want it. do it to it.

I try! Hence my hedonistic, no rules lifestyle. But it seems that the harder I try, the worse it gets.

I think you're 25% unhappy because Claudia disappeared off the face of the earth. I know that's my problem.

I'm certain of it, actually.

Just listen to R. Kelly's "Real Talk"...I just spent an hour in traffic, and I feel better now.
