Happiness is a state of mind. I can't tell you how to get there but I do know that you can't expect things and people to make you happy. It's all around us but only you know what your state of happiness is. You have to find it for yourself.

Should you expect to be happy most of the time? I feel like a lot of youngsters self-diagnose themselves with depression/bipolar disorder because they feel they should be happy the majority of the time, then feel there is something wrong with them if they aren’t.

Tangentially related: why are some people always in a bad, meanie-pants mood? Don’t they too believe happiness is a mindset they can just be in if they want to?
