Happiness can be an elusive thing, when you think about it.

No one, I believe, is happy 24 hours of every day. If they are, they're under some serious medication.

I suppose most of us strive for being happy at least half of the time. And if you can be happy most of the time, well, good to be you.

I don't think you realise how happy you are when you are happy, until you really think about it. It requires some sort of cognitive thought. I mean, sure, you FEEL happy. But it's not until you think about why you're happy and adding it all up that you realise, "I think I should be a little happier than I feel because all those things deserve for me to be so."

It might be odd but that's how I work, I suppose. Thinking - and all its practicalities.

And when you're unhappy, it's always good to remember the happy things. Usually, the unhappy things can't bring you down too low if you've been happy enough, or happy for a long period of time. If you haven't been happy in awhile, and shit hits the fan, then well it sux2b u.
