That’s how stories happen — with a turning point, an unexpected twist. There’s only one kind of happiness, but misfortune comes in all shapes and sizes. It’s like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

I barely stopped myself from dying. My heart was broken into pieces but I was afraid someone would notice so i talked and laughed and pretended like nothing happened. Do you know how hard that is?
It felt like my heart melted and disappeared. I couldn't breathe. I consciously had to tell myself to breathe and even then I was barely breathing.

[Thank you very much. Good talk. Nice time. See you later. Nothing is funnier than unhappiness. But quickly, not in Stretch language, give it to me in regular language.]

A person can make himself happy or unhappy regardless of what is actually happening externally, simply by changing the content of his consciousness.

Venus was showing off this week!  :: [Shoot 'n Share Chautauqua]
* * * * *
The innocent mistake that keeps us caught in our own particular style of ignorance, unkindness, and shut-downness is that we are never encouraged to see clearly what is, with gentleness. Instead, there’s a kind of basic misunderstanding that we should try to be better than we already are, that we should try to improve ourselves, that we should try to get away from painful things, and that if we could just learn how to get away from the painful things, then we would be happy. That is the innocent, naïve misunderstanding that we all share, which keeps us unhappy.
-Excerpted from: The Wisdom of No Escape: And the Path of Loving-Kindness, by Pema Chödron
