Happiness can wait

Happiness is a simple choice that many of us turn away due to an unwillingness to part with our baggage. There is some sick love affair between a person and those things and people that bring them misery. At any moment a choice can be made to part ways with our misery, but consciously we choose not to, and continue making that choice every minute of every day. We have to, we need our misery, we hold it close to us during the darkest of nights, we make our bed with it, and welcome it into our hearts.

[god is not great, I am]

and with open arms, we welcome it into our hearts.

This is incredibly sad. But true.

I don't believe that people consciously choose to be miserable, rather something deep inside them has been fractured, and the only thing that they seek is others who are not whole, but also fractured, so that they may in some jagged jigsaw complete themselves.

Needless to say, this usually only increases sorrow.

Such truth. It is quite ridiculous that most of us don't choose to be happy, it seems so simple when put like this.

*happy sigh* God, that was good.

And as one of the people who's made misery a bedfellow in the past, you're totally right. Sometimes, people just like a demon or two mixed in with the morning coffee.

You are scripting from my soul.

I thought I felt someone watching me lately...

Creepy.
