Yes, I'm here for the whole experience! It's exciting to go through the whole range of the human experience, and even if it sucks I know it's never permanent, so it's easier to handle. And also knowing that happiness is not permanent makes it easier to appreciate the happy moments.

And I love the idea of a happiness disclaimer, that permanent happiness does not exist!

It's just so reassuring to have that piece of information. Keeps the expectations more realistic and doesn't make you feel like a failure when you inevitably go through a not-so-happy stretch!

Wholeness, contentment, joy, and peace. What powerful words, Miriam! I absolutely identify with and feel the importance of them in my life as well. I absolutely loved reading this! Feels like I really need to sit with it all for a little while and just let your words sink in. Thank you, my friend. ❤️

I needed the reminder as well. I'm sure it's the same for you, but I usually write about things I need to read myself! I'm glad it resonated with you ❤️
