    Default living/being

    I wonder if "living/being" is gerund or participle.
    1. So you’re happy living in Baltimore?
    2. I'm happy being single.

    Does it matter?

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    I think it doesn't matter . It can be used as both of them.
