Dear Kate,
Lets take a moment and assign happiness to a character we are all familiar with. Happiness is the White Rabbit. Picture it: You're sitting beneath a tree beside a brook on a lovely sunny day, wanting for nothing, when you see see the White Rabbit. You get up and you call to it. As soon as you do, off it hops further down the rabbit hole. In your natural curiosity, you follow suite. By the time you catch that rabbit, you're going to find that you were where you ought to have been the entire time.
We humans have a tendency to become complacent in our lives. We forget to take stock of what we have and appreciate it. That is where happiness comes from- the recognition that what we have is worth something.
Stop searching and start enjoying. You won't find happiness down some rabbit hole.
On the other hand, its possible what you are feeling right now is just gas.
Happily,
Your Sister,
Molly

Dear Molly,
ReplyDeleteI AM TERRIFIED BEYOND BELIEF OF THAT WHITE RABBIT. I AM NO LONGER "HAPPY" AS I HAD BEEN, BUT HUDDLED IN THE CORNER TREMBLING AND SHRIEKING.
Best,
Kate
Yeah, that's pretty freaky, right? You should check out the whole movie. Watch it alone sometime at 3 in the morning. Its called Alice and its by Czech surrealist Jan Svankmajer.
ReplyDeleteI think you're well aware of my inclination to watch horror movies alone. Or, have you not gotten enough texts reading: "AHHHHHH!!! OMG!! I'M DOING IT AGAIN!! OH GOD!! NOOO!!!"?
