I'm sorry for writing my first post. I don't want to die anymore. I think I was being a bit dramatic in my thoughts.
I'm thinking this through. I shouldn't compare myself to other people. I should be happy that I feel content.
Maybe if I were a doctor or scientist I wouldn't be happy because it's too stressful.
I seem to like the routine I'm living right now. My sister just described the crazy amounts of work that she has to do everyday and that would be too much for me.
I like how things are right now. I like how I'm good at my job. I like how I make a little money and don't have to pay rent or cook.
I like how I have free time to work on Bob's hat, and do astronomy now. I'm pretty content. I like my life. I'm not successful, but maybe being successful isn't all that important. Maybe being happy is the most important thing. I'm pretty happy now that I think about it.
Maybe I'm lucky I can be happy?
This reminds me of the book "Brave New World". There were different classes of people in that book, alphas, betas, epsilons etc. The epsilons and other lower classes are altered while developing to have low intelligence so that they would be happy doing easy mindless jobs. People also took drugs to create an artificial happiness. Maybe I'm an epsilon. I seem pretty happy in my non-successful life. Maybe it's not so bad as long as I'm content?
