I am 26 and I fin life very easy.
I get up, go to work, go home, watch tv, have a few beers sometimes and go to bed and I find it all very easy.
Does life get harder as you get older or something?

Couldn't resist a response to Flyahsit -
Nothing in my life was given to me, I was born into a very poor family, my father left us when I was 5 and I never seen him again, I suffer from arthritis in my hips, I work 45 hour weeks and I have been "dumped" by 4 girls in just as many years...............but I still find life easy........my secret is to live completely in the present moment.
Most troubles are either "future" orientated (Worry, anxiety, fear of being alone) or "Past" oriented (Grief, regret, shame) - If you live completely in the "Now" you do not have these problems and life is a breeze.

You have to think about the future otherwise you sill have those problems. Not acknowledging things as they are and can be is why people have problems. You have to address issues that have happened and may happen it's a function people need. But, need to use in moderation.
Perhaps if people all lived in the now we'd all be running around with sticks and have the plague. Which would only force us to think of the future anyway or just die.
So even than you put that case scenario in the exception of the rule you'll need to add millions more that may be creeping up on you that could have been prevented.
We have to understand how to address issues as they become relevant. Perhaps if you thought about the past you could learn about these bad relationship decisions and understand the social qualities of people better to not have to go through 4 women or rather to go through more experiencing.
Not acknowledging the past can make things worse and will effect you even if you do not think it is. This "philosophy" of yours is a stem from it. You need to embrace your hardships of life because if you do not revisit them you'll probably develop some type of personality disorder.
Live life and learn some. We need fear, anxiety, shame, regret. Growth requires a past and a future. How will you learn if you do not notice your faults and regret them to acknowledge them as faults. How will you grow if you do not fear the wrong way to go about something.
Maybe you aren't raising the bar enough and accepting things as they are. It might be a breeze to be numb but, someday all the cuts and bruises will add up and you wont even know it.

wahoo! you made me think and I like what you said about th past and the future and present. thanks.
I have my mood swings, so it depends what day you ask me the question - for example on Tuesday I wanted to die. But now it is Friday, I feel much better.
To be honest I am very worried about the future, I am having a really hard time with my runaway husband who doesn't want any children after 10 years we have been together and I have to decide what i will do with him. But I can't and we live apart at the mo. Sad. I am glad I have my friends, but it is still not what I want, my own home with my little family inside, warm and secure, happily ever after. You see I live in the future... but with my friends, I live in the present and it is all happy and superficial indeed... because there is no 'building the future together' and I take everyday as it comes. But as a woman it doesn't satisfy me. I think (young?) men can be simpler in that sense that they are happy having fun with a (or several) relationship and don't think further... am I right?

So after reading other answers had to add a few comments most people would not consider my life easy am a single mom both parents died of cancer have a drug addicted sis and I should always worry bout money but what good would it do to be sad and worry has that ever fixed anyone's problems?

It just seems to me that you are one of life's optimists. You might be the kind of person who looks on the up side of things, instead of finding the negatives. Or maybe you are the kind of person who finds things easy to get over.
People say that life is hard, I guess depending on what they perceive to be hard. Everyone is different. If you feel content with the life that you have then suppose you will think that life is easy, if not then I suppose life is a struggle. I don't think that it has anything to do with age, just generally how you are as a person. Mate if you think life is easy and you are happy good on you, continue as you mean to go on.

How can you complain because life is good to you??? I would kill for happiness, or to find anything easy, trust me. Be grateful for what you have, and hope it lasts. Don't forget that when you look into someone's eyes, someone looks back at you, and they don't neccessarily have as good a life as you. In fact, they may have a **** life. Don't assume that it's their fault or that they could prevent it in some way and just choose to be like you and everything bad will go away.

Life is what you make it. Some people tend to look on the negative side of everything. Others like to remain positive even when things are going rough. I guess it's how you look at the glass of water. Would you say it is "half full" or "half empty". I like to see it as "half full". Looking at things from a postivite perspective makes life so much more enjoyable!

Should you marry the wrong person, you'll change your tune in a heartbeat. At 26, you haven't experienced enough of life to see the curves that can be thrown at you. You are in relatively good health but, that might not last forever. Give it some more time and I hope that you are lucky.

Life is easy but most people tend to get stressed out over small things that have little or no impact on thier well being. Most people are are trying to drive the latest car and have designer clothes but end up breaking thier backs to afford it. Therefore they work overtime, lack of sleep, no liesure time because thier too busy trying to support the monster that they created. Live! Im glad you got a smooth routine most people will spend the rest of thier lives trying to be as happy as you but thier greed will be there downfall!
