life is a perception-based simulation. time goes by whether we want to acknowledge it or not. time can go by quick. time can drag on. we can feel emotions, or we can ignore them. even if they are compartmentalized, they’re still there. happiness is a decision that is often synonymous with the emotion of joy. sadness is a chemical reaction in the head of our central nervous system that can lead to prolonged deprivation of logical decision making. this is why it is often difficult to get out of our mental inconsistencies as comfort is a habitual affair. life is what we make it, and in the event we let life make us, i’m not sure if happiness will be an option any more.
sometimes i have to remind myself of things like these and how lucky i am to still be able to be conscious over a simulation we had no choice of being in.
