Happiness Hides in Moments We Miss
I used to think happiness was a place I could get to and stay. Like if I just worked hard enough, or healed enough, or fixed enough things inside me, I’d finally arrive.
But happiness isn’t a destination. It’s a visitor.
Sometimes it’s loud, sometimes it’s silent.
Sometimes it’s just the relief of making it through a hard day.
The truth is, life isn’t about reaching some perfect, permanent state. It’s about noticing the moments we usually miss.
I think happiness is never about the absence of suffering, because that’s unrealistic, right? It's about our ability to move through it. Every moment, every emotion, every season of our lives is impermanent. Good or bad. I find that impermanence is comforting, in a way.
I feel like life is made of moments.
“Life is about moments” — that’s a line from my novel 'Sense of Home', a story that blends literary fantasy with metaphysical exploration. It follows Tyra as she navigates loss, change, and inner transformation, guided by whimsical creatures and lucid dreams that blur the lines between fiction and reality, helping her heal even the deepest wounds.
