Not necessarily. I’ve been getting happier and happier over time, even despite the world getting shittier. Of course there still are problems, but I’m fairly sure i can fix those over time as well.

Though that might be more from that my childhood wasn’t that great, not the worst physical abuse either, but not a normal one either with a dash of psychological and emotional abuse and minimal support, only what’s required by the law.

So getting older, getting nore comfortable within my body and figuring myself out, stuff which usually is done in childhood and teenage years in a safe and supportive environment, has been helpful in making life more comfortable and having more control over my own life, which ultimately allowes me to make life more comfortable for myself and become happier.
