I don't think that there are many people in this mood for one and a half years, especially in my country.

There really isn't a lot of positivity around - I am definitely not that person anymore

We should go on struggling, I believe that even one achieved expectations might be bigger than our unmet expectations.

It actually doesn't take that much to make people happy enough, but it does take building a sense of wellbeing in at least some aspects of life.
