I just learned that happiness doesn’t necessarily mean feeling happy.
Don’t get me wrong, if you’re feeling happy, then you are happy. Be happy! Celebrate!
But you may be experiencing other types of emotions, and still feel “happy.” Perhaps the word “happiness” is problematic here. You can be “joyful,” “content,” or “satisfied” without [...]
