Honestly I completely disagree. Obviously there's not just two ways of being, happy and unhappy, but that's besides the point. I honestly can say that after feeling shitty and on and off depressed most of my life, I've reached a true point of happiness. Almost enlightenment really, as corny as that sounds. Do I still get angry or feel sad? Yeah, all the time. But that goes away and I go back to being happy.

I love my life these last 4 years. That is a WHILE to feel this way. I'm also fulfilled, I'm also interested. I feel like I truly have come to understand my place in the universe and that because I am so small, the universe so grand, and my life so unimportant compared to everything else, I can really focus on just the moments in my life, the connections to those around me, and enriching both of those every day. It's become a joyful experience overall that I'm happy to have found.
