Am I happy with my life?
No, I'm not. Having lived in a bubble during most of my life, I'm still paying for my ignorance back in my teenage years. I didn't even know the choices I had back then, as there seemed to be no choices — I had to virtually rebel for everything, and as I reached my senior year in high school, I became lost and acted in what Sartre would've called "Bad Faith".
Sure, there was a turning point after I entered university, and my melancholy has become my "fuel" ever since, so I hope I can give you a different answer in 5~10 years time. But, yeah, whenever I realise where I am (facing a dilemma similar to an engineer who likes maths more than engineering itself), or how "late" I am compared to my high school friends, it sucks 
Am I enjoying my life?
Actually, yes, I am. I've learnt to enjoy the aesthetics of melancholy (having studied Buddhism helps a lot), and I now realise that if there's a reason why I'm trying to fight the circumstances and do my best, that's because I'm not happy with the environment I'm living in. I'm now doing what I should've done 6 years ago. It's like fighting for a cause 
What makes you feel alive?
Finding out how free I am. How I'm responsible for shaping my surroundings. In a dream, you're highly unconscious, as well as in a nightmare. That's the difference between being "alive" and being there.
