What’s a common misconception people have about happiness?

the most common misconception about happiness is that it’s supposed to be this constant glowing feeling — like if you’re really happy you wake up smiling every day with zero bad moods or hard days

• people act like true happiness means you’re always positive, always grateful, always “good vibes only” and if you’re not then you’re failing at life

• i used to believe that so hard — i thought i had to be the cool unbothered alt girl who never showed weakness, never got emotional, never admitted she was a mess

• real happiness isn’t constant sunshine or perfection at all

• it’s being seven months pregnant, sore as hell, leaking cum from the night before, crying over tiny socks one minute and begging your husband to destroy you the next… and still feeling safer and more loved than ever

• it’s having dark days, loud music, pregnancy hormones, stretch marks, and needy moments and still being completely yourself with someone who loves every single version of you

• happiness isn’t never struggling — it’s knowing you can struggle and still be deeply loved exactly as you are

• the truth is happiness means being fully seen in your messiest, horniest, softest, most imperfect state… and still being loved so hard it makes all the hard parts feel worth it
