Support NeoGAF

[Outlier]

Well let's see.

I've been going to Hippy Hollow [ HH ] somewhat regularly for over 3 years.
This has boosted my overall mood, gets me tanned, see lots of... interesting people. Found a friend.
Result = Depression decreased

I also picked up skating (inline and board) and moderate acrobatics, since last November.
Improving my skills and abilities has considerably boosted my mood, get a serious workout, soaked in and dripping sweat, and losing weight to the point my abs are starting to show.
Result = Depression is safely locked away

This is why I haven't been active on Neogaf, for months. Also haven't played any games, for over a month, now. lol

I am living in the best time of my whole life, these days.

Do something personally productive, as much as you can, guys. Life is much more enjoyable, this way.

Overall I would say yes. Of course there are things that could be better, but I think I'm doing well.

I find people need to stop comparing themselves to others. Comparison really is the thief of joy. Find what you like, do your thing and don't worry about anyone else. You'll be infinitely more happy.

What about you? Are you happy?

Honestly, yep, I'm normally completely happy!

Although content might be the more appropriate word. I've always been a huge optimist, like I just see hardships as problems to be solved, and if I ever feel sad I figure out why I'm sad and do my best to correct the situation. I also don't fret over things I can't control, to me that just seems like wasted energy.

I'm also extremely autistic (Asperger's) so that probably has a lot to do with why I'm like this too.

I've found mindfulness and meditation to really ease my suffering these past days.

I'm sometimes happy but it is fleeting. I wish to find contentment and ease in the face of hardship.

Then, beat the SH*T out Hardship and revel in fruits of thine labor!
Be a warrior.

I have happy moments. Nobody is happy is a fallacy.
