the pursuit of happiness

I am far too happy.

Seriously. are people allowed to be genuinely happy? Everywhere I look, people are suffering, their lives are in turmoil. Marriages are constantly failing, friendships are constantly breaking.

But I really am happy.

The only thing I would change about my life is that I want to be in love. And that's a big deal. But that's it. Seriously. THE ONLY THING.

My life is pretty fantastic otherwise.

Am I allowed to be this happy?

ALL I WANT IS LOVE. I would trade my happiness for love. I would trade my intelligence, my wealth. Does that make me just as unhappy as everyone else? I don't really think so. Because for the most part, I try to forget about the love thing. I push it out of my mind.

So I am happy.

Even if no one else is.
