I Can't remember
“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    That was painful to read :( I feel similar, for me it's like it's been drained out of me and that I can't ever generate it. So I guess I can't tell you much... Are you thinking of happiness as in a good mood, or more what it's like to be content with your life in that sense?

    Sending warm hugs, do let me know if there's anything I can do <3

    Yeah like what does it feel like instead....I feel constantly like something bad will happen and my soul is very heavy sadness fills my soul and falls down really deeply. How does happiness feel compare to that ?
