Because sometimes I think I feel happy but it doesn't feel like the way other people describe it
Hmmm. People often seem to describe a warm, fuzzy feeling. Contentment.Because sometimes I think I feel happy but it doesn't feel like the way other people describe it
Facts. Happiness isn't something to aim for imo; it's fleeting. I feel like people should instead be encouraged to reach a state of contentment/acceptance."Happiness comes in small doses folks. It's a cigarette butt, or a chocolate chip cookie or a five second orgasm. You come, you smoke the butt you eat the cookie you go to sleep wake up and go back to fucking work the next morning, THAT'S IT! End of fucking list!" -Dennis Leary
That makes total senseHappiness?!?! What a concept?!?!
I've been carrying my anxiety with me for so long, I don't remember what it is like to be without it. Even if, by some miracle, all my health problems magically disappeared overnight, I would not be able to feel happy. So many bad things have happened to me in the last 30 years. There's no coming back from where I've been.
But if I were to guess what happiness feels like, I'd say being happy would mean feeling... light, if that makes any sense. Anxiety and health problems weigh me down constantly. It's like I'm carrying a mountain on my shoulders. So... I imagine happiness is feeling light.
