a circular pursuit of happiness
generally entails running headstrong into something
towards an achievement
or towards a your better self
but happiness isn’t running toward or away from anything
it’s letting go of your ambitions
accepting your place not in the world, or life, but in the overall spirit of humanity
enjoying your time amongst everyone else, and likewise bring enjoyment to them
it’s seeing life not as a timer counting down, but as extra minutes on the clock
less worrying about how the time is dwindling and more simply taking part
discovering that happiness isn’t a proactive path, or even an active path at all
it's just you and change, sometimes wrestling for control, and you always submitting
