No matter what we have been through in the past...everyday we have the choice to be as happy or as sad as we want to be.

Out of a week i feel like 6 days i can stand strong but at least 1 day...i like to sit in my sorrow and play victim...i.m.o. human nature.

My number 1 intention always is to break free from the rumination of the past events that i can't change. it builds up...lowering my vibration...I call it an emotional 🗑....can't compare traumas to others bc we all have different sizes of emotional 🗑. When it gets full we have to release it somehow. Some do it with drugs, alcohol, church..etc. I don't judge unless it's hurting someone else. Psychedelics is like a new restore point in the brain. We gotta stop blaming whatever for our happiness today...it's hard as fuck bc we want to play victim sometimes. Factory reset and it's up to us to install new clean software..if we continue to put viruses in our cpu....own up to it.

Choose happiness
Choose groovyness

Well said. To me it raises the question of comparison. If we don't have the sad the happy feels normal perhaps. The ups and downs of life, I start recently to understand, really do not matter in severity. Only wavelength.

The lower we go the higher we can go. What interests me the most is the wavelength of that ride. A child will go from both extremes multiple times a day. As we age most of us extend the wavelength considerably. Months or years living at either end of the scale.

So as you say, we can manipulate our happiness, perhaps by controlling the wavelength back closer to that of a child. I'll take a really shit morning please for an afternoon of bliss then a quick wild outburst of some emotion before bed and start again.

In depression the wavelength could stretch out as to deny a climb back to happiness for hundreds of years which for most of us will be a bit late.

I like how you put that. I believe I've rode the low wavelength so long i can't even access it anymore. Lol. The situations I feel bad for and wish I could help are the ones that been stuck in a low vibrational state for so long they have trained their brain to become addicted to their traumas.

Looking at past or future too much is definitely a way to flatten out the wavelength and slow the transition between highs and lows. For me it has always been the future that keeps me awake, overthinking.

A bright future prospect could produce the arch of the emotional wave just as a dull one may elongate the valley. I'm mostly ok with the past now, but that took some work. Children only live now by default, that is the main clue. Achieving it however seems like a life's work for me.
