Happiness rate

When I look back at the last 7 months, my happiness rate has definately increased. Money can't buy happiness? I disagree. Although you can be perfectly happy with a small income, no income at all is a definite happiness killer. It's only now, when I finally have job security and a relatively good income, that I can breathe, feel free to do what I want and enjoy my days off. It is still a bit of a struggle, as it always is the first two or three months after starting a new job, paying off debts and trying to find that place where you know how much is coming and going out and what the extras are. But at the moment, I am quite happy. No money worries per se, university which has finally started to be interesting, lots of friends (more on that in another blogpost) and a very busy calendar. I am living a very fulfilling life and very much enjoying it, and apart from perhaps some travelling and an amorous element, I am perfectly happy with what I have. For the travelling, once I get some money in, I'll hopefully be able to cram in a lowbudget city trip for a day or two, break away from it all for a short period (as it's the time of year where I traditionally get out of the country and explore a brand new city) and then roll back into routine again. The other thing, well, we shall see what time brings.

I must say, I am quite happy. Spring is coming (I discovered krokus's next to my front door!), I am "finding my turn" and when people ask me how work or uni is going, I always answer positive. Happiness level: reached.
