I was depressed in high school and talking to my mom about happiness and one of the things she said to me, was that often real happiness comes from learning to be happy with being content.

At the time I honestly found the thought kind of depressing, but it stuck with me and I've only seen it to be truer and truer as I've gotten older.

Better than what my mom told my depressed teenage ass: "not every one can be happy" and "suicide is something weak cowards think about". Thanks mom.
