happiness
it’s what we all wish for
it’s what we all strive to be
happy

I sometimes think about it
what does it mean to be happy?
to have your dream career?
to have a significant other?
to have children?

society makes it seem as though
happiness is a destination, not a mood
but that isn’t what happiness is at all
happiness: the state of being happy
state: the particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time

so to be happy
doesn’t always mean you are permanently happy
happiness comes and goes
and that’s okay
