I’m thinking that achieving happiness isn’t so much about having something, but about not having something. The absence of pain, of negative stimuli, of excessive fat cells (heh), of drama, of other people’s bad influences, of feeling like the power to control your emotions has been handed over to a careless someone else. This means that something Anny wrote recently is true: everything that you need to be happy, you already have at this moment. Just lose the excess crap.

I’m pretty darn happy these days.
