Hi Adam, I am new here too. I went to high school many years ago, but reading your post, it brings back many of the same thoughts and feelings I had back then. It has taken me from then until about last summer to realize that it is only I who own my own happiness, and that no matter what I do, or what goes on around me, I can finally make a choice to be happy. Once I saw that, and really started to live it, the complexity that is my life suddenly got easier. I am a school teacher, and find my job to be intellectually stimulating, emotionally and mentally challenging, not to mention difficult at times. Now that I am happier within myself, however, all of that "stuff" has really gotten easier. If I could have one wish in all the world it might be that all people feel happy and at peace with themselves.
