I have spent most of my life trying to get to this place called happiness. I watched people trying to find happiness when I didn’t know any better, and then joined this search as soon as I could. But every time I thought I found happiness, it disappeared like a mirage. I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. I followed the directions everyone gave me, but I never arrived at the place where everyone seemed to have gotten to. Being on this journey has taught me some painful lessons I want to share today in hopes of saving others from the same fate. Let’s talk about it.
