on happiness

happiness, to me, is the state of complete absorption in the present moment.

being fully present. fully engaged. so immersed in what you are doing that there is no room left to think about what has already happened or what might happen next.

and if that’s happiness, then sadness is boredom.

because boredom is what happens when the present moment isn’t enough to hold our attention. when we are physically somewhere, but mentally somewhere else.

happiness is simply learning how to be here.
