I find it hard to look for contentment in the big picture, to look for it in the future is like chasing a reainbow!. I prefer to find joy in the little things, like making friends or listening to music, watching a good movie!. But you are not talking about this petty enjoyment, you mean the deep satisfaction!. And it takes a long time to find that, and i believe most people never do, it takes hard work and then the ability to step back and look at what you have achieved!. By the sound of your story you have a lot to be proud of, and you are looking to negetivly at your situation, you should put it in perspective and enjoy the place you have gotten to!. But maybe i dont know what im talking about, but you sound like a well-rounded individual to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sets yourself goals and focus on getting them accomplished!. Please don't rely solely on your boyfriend [or anyone] for contentment!. It starts with you being content with yourself!.

Sometimes people find this in religion, or yoga and meditation!. You, on the other hand, probably need counseling to help you sort out your thoughts and find your own value that you give yourself, that no one else could ever take away again!.

I'm sorry for the crappy start to your life, but take the efforts now to improve your life on your own!. Life does improve when you love yourself and you set short and long term goals and stay focused!. The best revenge is success!Www@QuestionHome@Com
