I think I've realized that maybe a baseline of "happiness" is unrealistic (for me, anyhow). Because sometimes I will be happy, sometimes I will be sad, sometimes I will be angry.
I think for me, a baseline of "okayness" feels right. Or maybe "contentment", or "serenity".
And I *do* wonder if other people have that? I know that for me, my baseline has always been fear (and a big big pile of negative thoughts/feelings about myself). "Okayness" is huge for me
And a total, total, total gift.
