If I don’t feel trust, I settle for faith. If I can’t feel faith, I settle for resignation. If I can’t feel resignation, I settle for apathy.
I’ve come to the belief—through personal experience—that even though some of these emotions are supposedly “negative,” I can use them as stepping stones to climb back up into optimism or joy. I just have to acknowledge which one I resonate with, then abide there and wait for it to open up into something better.

Thanks!
Yep, can’t rush it or it just leads to forced happiness, which leads right back to negativity.

What do you percieve as happiness! Getting up, being yourself achieving your basic requirements in calm without duress! Manufacturing your dreams a day at a time on the smallest scale, achieving a work life balance! Finding time and resources to create within anyones means! Interracting with those you value and setting the world to rights when people obstruct others paths!

I perceive it as feeling content and optimistic, without reason or justification. 😊
