Honestly I completely disagree. Obviously there's not just two ways of being, happy and unhappy, but that's besides the point. I honestly can say that after feeling shitty and on and off depressed most of my life, I've reached a true point of happiness. Almost enlightenment really, as corny as that sounds. Do I still get angry or feel sad? Yeah, all the time. But that goes away and I go back to being happy.

I love my life these last 4 years. That is a WHILE to feel this way. I'm also fulfilled, I'm also interested. I feel like I truly have come to understand my place in the universe and that because I am so small, the universe so grand, and my life so unimportant compared to everything else, I can really focus on just the moments in my life, the connections to those around me, and enriching both of those every day. It's become a joyful experience overall that I'm happy to have found.

If you don't mind sharing, what would you say has made the difference for you? How did you go from depressed to happy for the last 4 years?
