yeah, happiness doesn't really exist. There are like moments of happiness, when you achieve something, when you feel good about yourself, etc....

it doesn't work that way
Happiness is an emotional or affective state that feels good or pleasing. Overlapping states or experiences associated with happiness include wellbeing, delight, health, safety, contentment, and love, while contrasting ones include suffering, sadness, grief, anxiety, and pain. Happiness is often correlated to the presence of favorable events (such as a promotion, a marriage, lottery winnings, etc.) and the absence of troubles or bad luck (such as accidents, getting fired, divorce, conflicts, etc.).
Societies, religions, and individuals have various views on the nature of happiness and how to pursue it. According to a USA Today report, "happiest people surround themselves with family and friends, don't care about keeping up with the Joneses next door, lose themselves in daily activities and, most important, forgive easily

Sometimes I am happy just because...other times I feel like I need some sort of fulfillment to make me happy, like a relationship, money, etc...but after reading "the power of now" book I know that nothing can fill a void all of us feel within us every now and then...having to rely on something or someone for hapinness means that a person feels inadequate themselves. People and things we like should compliment us, not complete us.

Always live by the maxim why be sad when life is so short. Just be happy most of the time no use of getting sad. Don't look at the past, live good in the present to lead to a great future.

Nope not always happy and often I do need something or someone to make me feel happy. I know that it is wrong to rely on someone else to make you happy but I do.

no...it can be both. you can achieve something and not be content which can cause you to be unhappy. being happy has to do with your outlook on life and being optimistic.
