As for me, it depends on what part of my life I'm dealing with. Also, to me, there is a difference b/t being happy and being content. I have learned to be content with what I have. That does not mean I'm happy with everything. Feel me?
As far as Monique goes, I'm happy with me, for now. There are some things that I would like to change, but for the most part, I love me just as I am. Hell, lol, somebody has to!
Now, professionally, that's a whole 'nother ball game. I am completely and utterly bored with my professional life. I feel like I'm just in a dead in position right now. I'm not learning anything, and I'm the type of person that needs to learn to grow. When I go to my next job, because I will end up leaving this one (if the economy is still in EXISTENCE), I won't take anything valuable with me. And I just came to terms with that sad reality today. I feel like I've wasted my time here. I haven't done or learned ANYTHING that I could take with me to a new position. That is a sad state of affairs.
BUT
I'm content with my job, and will keep it until I find a new one.
Personally, life is cool. I'm content with my social life. I'm not where I THOUGHT I'd be 10 years ago, but that's cool. I'm right where God wants me, so I can be content.
I guess, all in all, I'm cool. I don't really want to say I'm happy, because if I died tomorrow, I would not be fulfilled.
As far as taking things seriously, I just think that there is a time and a place. I'm too silly and carefree to be serious on the regular. But, I'm mature enough to know when it's time to handle business.
And y'all already know how I feel about laughter!
