Are You Happy Now?
Do you remember Michelle Branch? She was an awesome pop superstar who sang of angsty love. Before she turned country, I had memorized the three songs that had ever been played on the radio. For some reason, I was down with her music. And now here I am thinking about it again. Am I happy now? Michelle had asked me that very question everyday on the FM stations. I thought I knew the answers. And now here I am, unsure. Everytime that I think I'm happy, I leave my comfort zone and start thinking. We all know the dangers of overthinking, and yet I'm still stuck in its throes. Am I happy now? I'm not entirely sure anymore. When I've got my happiness, everything is good. Great even. Or is it? Is it a veneer? Am I stuck? Do I stay just because I've got nothing else? Do I have nothing else? I don't even know. And then, when I don't have my happiness, when I'm bombarded by all those sour words and tough times. I'm being called for help, and then I'm not even listened to. I don't think I'm happy. But I can't quit it. I don't know how.
