Happy's a sly creature. To catch him is to realize that your hands are still empty. :/

How long have you missed happiness? Maybe if you track time back to the point where things changed, you'll know what to adjust

I think of you now and then, and today I find you in a bad way. What's up?

Also you've moved to my region?! When did this happen?

I'm an animal scientist in up-state NY since last October.

That's interesting. Any particular area of study?

Major evolutionary changes mediated by changes in skeletal organisation. If I specify too much I'm just giving my identity away to everybody of course.

I understand the importance of anonymity 😉

Tranquility is a better goal, happy is brief

I don't know what to say, but I hope you find at least some glimmers of joy in the dark in these trying times.

I don't know what was going on in my head when I posted this. Probably jealousy. I'm good, Misha.

Feeling of happiness is produced by the feeling of improvement, so while it might be a good event, it's not necessarily the ultimate goal or, otherwise put, the perfect state of being. And there doesn't seem to be a guarantee that our improvement will always be continuous, hence the periods of lull in this feeling.
