Happy, ugh.

Posted by spalding on July 25, 2005, at 15:44:20

Recently, my pdoc said "I want to see you happy."
Happy is a loaded word for me. I don't even know how to define it. My mom would torpedo every happy family moment. My dad told us to be happy, darn it, and always present a happy face to the world. Thus "happy" to me is forged and false.
Shortly thereafter my pdoc's comment, my T. said, "I think you're ready to start feeling better."
So I told them both that I'll talk about feeling "better" but not feeling "happy."
I'm starting to define "better"...though I'm a long way from it. Right now, I can think about "better," try it on, see how it fits.
Not happy, though. No way.
