Happiness is a trap. It makes you forget how cruel life can be. It makes you believe that maybe, just maybe, things might actually work out for once. But it never lasts forever. Sooner or later, something takes it away. People leave. Things fall apart. The life you thought you’d have becomes a life you barely recognize. And the smarter you are, the sooner you realize that every good thing comes with an expiration date.
Eventually, you stop fearing the day happiness ends and start fearing the day it begins. Because once you’ve experienced what it feels like to have everything, you know exactly what it feels like to lose it. And after a while, you’d rather live your entire life feeling nothing than experience a moment of happiness you’ll spend the rest of your life mourning.
