| | I voted "Very Happy".
My life has turned out so much better than I ever hoped for, that I reflect, almost daily, on how good it is. I was suicidal at age 18. Now, at age 41, I love my life. I have a great career as a computer programmer. This was a hobby for me as a child so every day I go to work is like going to play. In addition, it pays very well. I work with my wife with whom I have a great relationship (13 years come this October) and we have our dog with us in the office.
As a teenager, I wanted to be a professional musician but that didn't work out. But, in the last few years, I've been playing more music than ever. Music makes a much better hobby than it does a vocation ;) We don't have any kids so we are free to travel and play as we want. In a few weeks, we're going to Brazil and in June we're going to Germany for the World Cup. I've been to every continent except Antartica.
My only regret is that I've gained around 2 lbs a year since the age of 20 ;) So, there's a lot more of me to experience this life than there used to be.
