Подскажите, пожалуйста, есть ли какое-то адекватное английское выражение?
Контекста особого нет, просто фраза в разговоре, смысл - вот бы у меня всё было хорошо. Может быть, близко к "Чтоб я так жил"

Screw this misery I live in!
По-моему, вариантов перевода такой фразы может быть очень много :) А чтобы аналог, да еще и с рифмой, да еще и кратенько...

Thanks for the comment. "only" seems to be an exaggeration, but you definitely have a point.

Give me a break! или FML!
"Give me a break" в смысле, когда эти тяжелые времена кончаются???
FML = f*** my life, но сокращение почему-то не считается вульгарное :)
