If you ask me, blissfulness is completely overrated. It's a feeling too close to excitement and being giddy, Except it lasts way longer. It can be a terrifying feeling. You feel like you're flying. And your feet don't feel like they're hitting the ground When you walk down the street. You're high. And you're not in control. And you can't imagine what life could be like Without this wonderful sensation coursing through your veins. And once the feeling is gone, Your feet feel like cinderblocks on the pavement. And all you want to do is sleep. And colors seem less vibrant. Jokes aren't as funny. Hugs aren't as warm. ...No...I'd rather feel content. I find it much more appealing to be Not completely unhappy, But not too happy either. And to feel like myself. And to be in control.
