if youre happy and you know it

im going to have to anonymously give credit to one of my good friends who im pen pals with and her definition of happiness. she questioned, exactly how do happy people do it? how do they live unfazed by the turbulences of life in general. she wrote to me that perhaps happy people suppress their suffering the most because they are constantly trying to keep up that image. and its true, achieving genuine happiness for long periods of time certainly is not an easy feat.

happiness. god damn, we search forever for it. maybe we never will find it. maybe we just keep having to redefine it.

oh and here are some photos i took of shadows and shit. the lighting in my house that day was absolutely divine.
