-a dream!

did you really think i'd let you kill this chorus?: For some people sadness doesn't exist. ↘

accidentalsong:

To them, only happiness exists, and “sadness” would just be happiness to a lesser degree.

And for some people happiness doesn’t exist.

For them, “happiness” is just sadness to a lesser degree.

I believe I am the latter not the former.

I think too much.

& I want too much.

& I care too much.

i saw this when it was originally posted and tried to figure out what type of person i am. i had no answer so i tried to forget about it, but the question has continued to pop up, so here goes.

i don’t know what my definition of happiness is. i’ve always associated it with bubbly, optimistic people, and have therefore always assumed i am doomed to be miserable forever. now i’m realizing that happiness, for me, is sort of an understated contentment with a twinge of melancholy. it took me until recently to understand that i’m just sort of melancholic as a person. i made myself miserable by trying to force myself into the bubbly personality type.
