My happiness now

I am willing to sacrifice the pressure of being perfect for my happiness now.

I am willing to sacrifice the pressure of being perfect for my now happiness.

I was wondering whether "now" can be located before or behind nouns to modify them.

How does it sound to native English speakers? Thank you so much in advance.

We don't sacrifice pressure ; we sacrifice pleasant things. And no, you cannot use the adverb 'now' to pre-modify a noun.

Hi,

No. It doesn't sound good. You could use present, though.
