I've found for me that happiness is less of a feeling and more like being content. Relaxed, worry free, accepting of the way things are, free of regret and not fearful for the future. Not feeling the need to change the moment that you're in, the place that you are of the company you're with.

I am depressed. But I am not unhappy with my life. I have many things that I am content with and that I am grateful for, I am doing something I love (hairdressing) and I have someone who cares deeply about me. I just can't feel it when I'm depressed. For me, you can be happy. Depression doesn't always mean you aren't happy with your life, it means that you aren't well enough to see or feel the happiness x
