There are a lot of things in life that are important to me in varying degrees - family/partner/friends, home, work etc. Living a life that has more positives than negatives, I am in charge of and happy about is all that matters.
I should be doing pilates or yoga which bores the crap out of me.
Had to take a break after some back problems and didn't get back since (even though some exercise might help). Time is a major problem at the moment unfortunately.
I did like Zumba and other "fast" exercise classes.
I like my life and I'm ok with myself as in I don't have any hangups.
I do prefer to spend time with people who like their life, don't always moan and actually like other people and take an interest in them. Selfishness is a real turnoff.
Culture doesn't put a lot of restrictions on people anymore but people still choose to restrict themselves (or some love to tell others how they should live) and police each other by FB comments.
I like the times we live in as I can pretty much do what I want without "culture" putting restrictions on me.
To quote my mother: "You must be young and stupid to get married and have kids."
The only reason to marry as I got older would have been a child for me. Also, being young and building something up together (financial equality as well as in other parts) - I wouldn't want to loose my home these days through a divorce (btw, wouldn't look for someone else's assets either).
Don't want kids but for a long lasting relationship (instead of marriage) I would say common background, interests and goals and being captivated by each other - if you are bored and have nothing to say to each other the rest of your life is a loooong time.
Depends on the situation - I'm positive and things are going well, so bright and sunny is a reflection of having a time in my life where there is more positive than negative things going on.
I have dark moments/days but I won't call them (or me) interesting.
If all goes according to plan, life is what you make of it.
RE: "Defensive narcissist"
I don't find the narcissists on here particularly defensive.
