Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability.

Happiness is never grand. ↗

— Aldous Huxley

THIS IS MY LIFE. When I'm sad, I draw, I sing, I dance, I write, I read. When I'm happy, I draw, I sing, I dance, I write, I read. When I'm blank, I draw, I sing, I dance, I write, I read. ↗
