What will make you happy?

But the more I talk to friends the more I realise that everyone seems almost anxious about the future and the uncertainty of whether they will be happy. Someone just told me he is happy now, but wonders if he will ever be REALLY happy until he marries that perfect girl.

Relentless pursuit of perfection, while good for many things, seems terrible to me for relationships. This is a pretty solid way to ensure that you don't become happy.

It's a good question you're asking, and without trying to sound snotty or like I have all the answers (I'm only 26), I think that it's pretty much the fundamental question of growing up. It's something you need to figure out for yourself.
