I'm about a 7/8 - I make it my business to be happy. While I'm not where I want to be, I try to appreciate what I have. I take time to work on my condition - I exercise, I climb mountains, I build models, I sleep well, I try to be mindful, I cook, I eat well, and I try to internalize the goodness. I find my groove. The point is this - there's a lot of garbage we all face, but we can't let it consume us. That just makes things worse and we go into a death spiral that we can't pull out of. I'm not proud of my past but it's the *past* and I'm leaving it there. I stumble and fall regularly but I get right back up and keep moving forward. A *huge* help is that I don't give a s*** what people think of me. I just do what I want within reason and take the good with the bad.
