Forget the idea that life is about being happy. You will never ever stay happy for long. Go for meaning and gratitude, you can have that always, even when something bad happens or you are struggling with life. Get clear about your ideals, even write them down, and aspire to them. dont expect to ever become your ideal, but celebrate every step you make towards it.

@simulate that's fantastic advice.

Honestly, I did not come up with that philosophy myself 😅 (but who does, really) it is what I picked up over time and a huge part of it is shaped by the philosophy of jordan b peterson. A rather controversial person in the political media, but the media is just completely beside his point. He is actually a psychologist, professor of psychology and philosopher/theologist. And an amazing speaker definitely. I dont know how to discribe him appropriately, but his videos absolutely transformed the way I see my life.
does this happen to anyone else?
so every time i am happy, but like really happy and everything in the day goes very well, i am thankful for being alive and truly love life etc, at the end of that day or the next day something hits me and i fall into depression because i remember all the problems i was ignoring while being happy. this has actually happened a lot of times so every time i am really happy i automatically remember how is this temporary happiness gonna end, so i try hard not to be happy in order to avoid deeper depression later. and whats the point of living if ur not happy?
