Happy. I don't want to settle for less


Being happy and Bella
Makes me happier
Than I've ever been


Happy obviously


Happy for sure!! Content is not satisfying for me.


I would have to pick being happy, just because you're content with something or someone doesn't mean you are always happy.


Being happy. I've been content in far too many relationships but realized I wasn't actually happy and then I grow to resent the other person. I want us both to keep each other smiling no matter how long we've been dating 😊


Being happy is so much better. I want to wake up smiling every morning because I'm waking up to you. That's happiness.
You are just too much baby 😊❤️

I think both apply. I want to be happy but I know a long marriage involves periods of being content. Ups and downs.


Content. Happiness is brought by temporary events and will fade. If I could learn to be content in all things, that would be great


Content. Happiness will fade when things are hard. But being content, will allow the happiness to return. It's like when they say strong relationships "fall in and out of love". That's natural.


I think it depends on what point you are at in life. Being content, in essence, can be happiness. It means you feel secure, stable and safe. At this point in my life, I think I need to be happier about being content. If I were 25 years old, I'd say i'd rather be happy.


Being happy. I think the content part can come from being happy. If both people are good you can be content with each other no matter what the situation, mood, or feel is. If your not happy your not content with yourself or the person your with in all capacities.


Content is boring. Being happy is a choice but I don't have to choose when I'm with you.
Being happy is all I feel when I'm with you.
