Contentment is a state of being in which one is satisfied with their current life situation, and the state of affairs in one’s love life (and or life) as they presently are. If one is content, they are pleased with their situation and how the elements in one’s life are situated. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to be content with one’s life regardless of the circumstance, regardless of whether things are going as one expected or not.^[1]
