in a sense, yes. But overall I have come to think about "happy" as a meta-concept, not a current condition descriptor. That means that I think happiness is best understood prospectively or retrospectively, not in the present moment. Having the conscious thought—"I am happy"—means not having conscious thoughts like, "this ice cream is delicious" or "that conversation was thought-provoking and fascinating" or "mmm, swimming." This is a classic example of not seeing the forest for the trees.

love: cat snoring
hate: pulse oximeter beeping
28) What's your biggest "what if"?
not the biggest, but one that I can't let go is having made the choice not to pursue an MLIS while working at the library. It would have been a natural step, should have been encouraged by any and all of my directors, and would be making a huge difference right now.

no, but I believe in hummingbirds, and favorite songs, and seeing initials in license plates

red pill

Atlanta.

33) Can insanity bring on more creativity?
absolutely! This is one of my secret fascinations—the interplay between psych and inspiration, illness (both mental and physical) and insight, and anything else in this vein. Believe it or not, I have a few books and some articles on the subject....
35) To you, what is the meaning of life?
connection

luck, coincidence, right place at the right time, whatever - yes
