0:00Everyone is unhappy because they say they want to be happy. [ __ ] happiness. I said it once and I was like, you know, I don't know if that's true anymore. [music] I was so against happiness as a concept for a very long time. It's part of my identity. I'm not a happy person, that's fine. Stating that got me out of all the pressure I would put on myself for not being happy. I so I was super unhappy and I then I would put pressure and have anxiety about why I wasn't happy. Then I came up with [ __ ] happiness as my mantra and I was like, I'm just going to do [ __ ] And then I kind of forgot about happiness as a concept for a while. But I identified with somebody who wasn't happy [music] and that that was okay. And that gave me a lot of peace. But then I realized like a couple years ago, I was like, I'm actually pretty content. I'm pretty good. I like what I do every day. Like I like who I do it with. I like what we do. I'm pretty good.
