i have come to the conclusion that most of us are happy in hindsight. right now, this second, this moment in time i am unhappy. but ten years later when i remember this moment i will be so full of nostalgia that i will go all awwwww about it.
when i look back i airbrush the awkwardness, the pain, the complete non belonging and just see the good. or may be it is the other way round, right now, i am so focused on the bad, that i fail to see the good.
whatever the mechanism the result is the same - this adolescent belief that you were happy way back when.
you were never happy. happiness is a trait of a particular kind of mind and if you are not the kind of person who is happy right now, as it is, in this moment, then i will bet my bottom dollar that you were not happy ten years back in that moment, whatever it was and whatever you have made it up to be in your head now.
some of us, are just forever doomed, to be happy - only in hindsight.
