I was overall happy with my life up to age 12. This was probably a bad thing.

I managed to replace happiness with smug indignation for the next ~8 years.

Ever since, I've pretty much been waiting for a miracle. Oh, I try and create one from time to time, but it never works. Trying less because it inevitably ends in failure.

I feel like I really do need a miracle or three to be generally happy again. At absolute minimum, a means to defeat Akrasia would go a long way.
