I think that’s the thing, actually; everyone needs something different, by their nature, how they were raised, and so on. Combine that with a deep sense of the grass being always greener on the other side, and it becomes super important not just to find happiness but to know it when you’ve found it. My ex will never be happy, as she is unable to recognize happiness when she’s there. My wife, on the other hand, enjoys the moment, despite her ambition. It’s a huge part of why I married her. I, too, have dreams of escaping to a log cabin in the woods, with nobody to tax me, nobody to bother me, and nobody to get in the way of the exciting things I want to do. Of course, if I did that, I’d quickly dive deep into depression; I’m an extrovert, who am I kidding? But the dream remains all the same. :)
