Re: Happiness, or lack thereof
by A Non-Existent User
Huh -- nothing is making you unhappy. You're just not, plain and simple. Maybe you feel unhappy because you think that you used to be, reminiscing back to last year or even 10 years ago. I do that at all the time. In fact, I think my whole life is just reminiscing lately, remembering high shool and being 15, being 4 and playing in the mud, being 10 and confident about everything. Remembering when I used to live here at home all the time and everything was paid for and taken care of and dinner was always ready every night.

I sometimes think I've lost my happiness. It may come and wash me off my feet, but then it washes back to sea and I'm here with wet feet and sand between my toes, thinking, huh. I think back to when I was 16. Wasn't I really, really happy back then? I assume I was at first thought. Then I recall everything I moaned and groaned about and cried about and worried over.

It's great that you acknowledge that your unhappiness just is. Maybe if you don't push it away, seek remedies, fret over it, just let it do its time, then the flip side of your feelings will come around again -- that being happiness!

My ASL teacher said that everything occupies a place, and everything takes turns. Right now, someone is unexplainably happy. You're unexplainably unhappy. Sometime, that person won't be feeling good and you will.

Hoorah!
