joy in existence
I think we do ourself a disservice when we associate happiness and joy with specifics. Specific circumstances, specific experiences, specific emotions. When I get that raise, or when I get a significant other, or when I laugh so hard I pee a little.
What if we gave ourselves the freedom of joy in the moment, as we are right now? Simply experiencing the presence of life without trying to resist, change, or label.
@Kait that is so well said :)
I have had booze and conversation. Boyfriend ignores me but at least I have that IRL.
@Kait
I think this is not only important to learn, but crucial.
To appreciate simply being is to feel truly alive. Happiness shouldn't be tied to any particular thing. Sure, things can spark joy, but I think true and lasting joy comes from something more pure: understanding. Seeing the light ignites the soul and allows one to exist in a quiet kind of bliss.
