'I am agreeable' sounds very official - could that be 'I am willing to'?
For the last sentence, do you need the comma?
With a comma, it becomes almost an explanation of the previous sentence (for example: I do believe you. At least, most of what you say); without a comma, it seems to make more sense ( 'whatever else happened, at least I had a life' ) |

| | Hi yourself,
You can change it to things you suggested |

| | Have it your own way...> Do what you want to be happy. |

| | I wouldn't say that. It means "mutlu olmak istediÄŸin ÅŸeyi yap" |

Evet, çünkü orijinal öyle diyor.
Sizinkinde "Have it your own way" çevirisinde "mutlu olmak" bağlamı yok. Sizinki "benim yolumu kendi yolun yap " gibi bir bağlam olabilir. |

| | "Have it your own way" is an idiom and means to accept an action someone want to do. In Turkish "nasıl istersen öyle yap/nasıl mutlu oluyorsan öyle yap/kafana göre takıl/sen bilirsin and all".
"Do what you want to be happy" means to do the things that makes you happy. |

"Have it your own way" dosen't say about "to be happy" . It can be also "Have it your own way to be sad" |

Thanks all - I'll accept |

| | It literally means "do it however you will be happy". I think there is basically no different from "have it your way". |

Another possibility would be 'Whatever makes you happy'. |
