I think it is ok. Our society puts out this false image of happy happy happy all the time. Its is a crock. There is a lot of suffering in the world, that is just reality. I have spent 90% of my life in moderate to mild depression with lots of periods of severe depression. I do remember being really happy as a little kid. Up until 7th grade. Now sometimes I get glimpses of happy and joy or short periods but the best I can usually hope for is contentment. I am content with contentment. It feels good. Takes a lot of acceptance. That doesn't mean I don't keep trying to battle this depression. I do.
