Have you found happiness in your life or are you still looking?

I am, by nature, a happy person. That's a weird thing to say, isn't it? I know why too, it's because I do my best to filter out the bad stuff. I do remember certain things from when I was a child like my dad hitting me because this kind of thing says with you, becomes ingrained in you. But now I try to naturally filter out all the bad and not remember it, I guess because I have trained myself not to dwell on it. This may be a good thing or it may not. This may come back and bite me in the ass in ten years and I'll end up spending a fortune on therapy, as I try to dig up all these bad memories and come to terms with things like the fact that I was more lonely as a kid than I should have been, and my father was more of a bastard than I care to remember.
