I think the word I'm looking for is
..Grateful
Things have been shit; things have been good but generally, Im good - no severe drama; no hostilities - im looking after myself as best I can and people around me have been good to me - despite life's basic shit( poverty, bills, antagonistic friends and my circumstances); I'm grateful - not sugarcoating - just in a mode of acceptance and I'll take it while it fuking lasts!
Content. I'm not just going to lie around miserable and feel bad today, I'm going to do the most I can and spend time with my lil' bro so he's not alone.
