How do you feel about your life right now? Try to say some specific events in your life that is influencing your view about this.

I also wrote an impressive list of comprehensive 10 poll options that attempts to briefly show level of happiness in someone’s life. The poll options is an entire brief summary on the continuum spectrum of possibilities that encompasses how someone feels about their life.

My life is kind of a mixed paradox for recent times. There is a lot I enjoy about life, and I do have a lot of positive satisfying experiences. I know very well what to get from life. I probably overall have an equal amount of optimism and pessimism, but it really depends on the day. I need some of life to become more consistent.

I am going to live in another city and new home soon, and I can’t wait to move because my home neighborhood environment is also important for me.

I am 21 years old and that is such an important, vibrant, intriguing part of someone’s life. I am so glad I’m not older yet, and even prefer if I was 2 years younger.

For the poll, my life is somewhere around options 3, 5, and 6, overall on the slightly more positive side of the continuum. Ironically, I created the original topic+poll, but I am undecided right now for the exact poll option I would choose.

However, someone’s life has the ability to change rather easily, and I see myself upgrading very soon to Option 2: Life is mostly excellent and going very well, but with some minor flaws sometimes getting in the way. and Option 3: My Life is pretty good, but I also notice the bad things and some negativity.

That's what gets to me a lot. The "what ifs". It happens to me the most when things are going well. In a way, it motivates me to stay on track and it least that's something within my control.

My life is excellent with just a few hiccups. It has been that way since I retired 5 years ago.

Hey it is what it is and there's not much that can be done about it. It beats the alternative.

I don't really think that where I am in life or where I was in life shouldn't have to be a "pick and choose poll" ordeal. It's almost like saying that my life so far is just for research purposes and any accomplishments or problems are nil.
