go to sleep feeling good about what you accomplished.
That's what it means to me.
I ain't happy.

I gotta say.....being sober for me has changed everything. It was like I was in a self-imposed prison since I was 14. "oh, I just need a little buzz and then I'll be outgoing at this social event" "oh, I just need a little buzz and I can entertain the kids all day long".
I was so unaware that I could do all those types of things without any interfering with my body chemistry/mood. Deep down....I thought I was unable to be MYSELF without some sort of assistance via booze and drugs. I know it sounds corny and cliche....but I feel so free now. All I need is myself.

i'm not meaning to be cynical here - because i'm saying this with the best of intentions - but striving to "find" happiness can lead you onto a bad path.
the religious ideal of heaven as the ultimate state of happiness is a lie. we're not at our happiest sitting around with everything we ever possibly wanted sitting close at hand any time of the day forever.
we're at our happiest when working towards constructive things that help us and those around us. we should always reap the rewards of doing this as well, but the reward is usually less satisfying than the process to get there.
happiness is a fleeting emotion like sadness. both are generic terms that can be broken down into more nuanced states of mind. you should take some time out to think about what does make you happy and why.
If you're innocent, be cool. Only the guilty's catchin' offence.

However i dont totally agree. I realized a while ago that this relationship scares the fuck out of me. And instead of giving up/shutting down/not trying/staying but complaining, i should confront my fear. No matter what happens at least i dealt with the fear.
But in a way we are saying the same thing. Doing the exact opposite of what id normally do in the relationship is one way to deal with the fear... 🙋 Music is almost everything.

the ability to live life and dust off the bumps along the way.
someone broke up with you? shrug that shit off keep going. you lost a job? shrug that shit off keep going. betrayed? shrug that shit off, keep going. broke? shrug that shit off and keep going. etc.
not internalizing shit, and not letting it quench your fire for life
and when you die, you can say you LIVED and gave it your all
cuz really the only thing you can do is be your best in this life. can't prevent all bad things.
