It amazes me how fickle happiness is
How discontent in one period can seamlessly transition into profound unhappiness in the next
How something as simple as finding love can add so much stress in my life
In these moments, I remember not to take my happiness for granted
Not to stretch myself too far when I want to step out of my comfort zone
And not to make myself do things that knowingly cause me unhappiness
Because as I am unhappily waiting for my flight to LA this morning
Eating a croissant from Burger King and sipping coffee from Peet’s
I was thinking about the last time we danced along Malibu beach
That summer night at midnight, not knowing it would be our last
