Two Types of Happiness by mythsteps published on 2022-09-07T19:55:11Z TWO TYPES OF HAPPINESS These days, I tell myself: don't squander your time seeking the type of happiness ruled by the whimsy of a mad god called “Fortune”-- he will turn his smile into a frown without warning. These days, I tell myself: find the type of happiness found by those who have gone through darkness and now beam the beatific smile. For too long, I believed I’d find Fortune smiling at me just around the next corner and so I worked to turn corner after corner after corner. Some may say I “took a few bad turns”. To that I’d answer: I was always spiraling upward. In fact I now believe I was actually following a grand plan made for me: in the darkness of disappointment I finally saw what I truly needed and stopped praying to the erratic god-- now I work to create a light strong enough to survive whatever twists of fate await. Yeah I know I’m still kinda dim but I haven’t lost hope-- by continuing this upward course I hope to one day be among those who beam that beatific smile.
