Different Life By Choice

Succumbo. Latin for surrender. I chose to succumb. Quitting was not an option. A door to life opened when I chose succumbo.

Happiness does not exist as a thing which can be held, acquired, attained, pursued, kept. Happiness is fleeting and the instant it fleets, a choice to be replaces the lost happiness.

Should I be quicker to forgive happiness? Should there be an apology for being abrupt before acceptance? Do I set myself up for dissapointment by not resisting happiness longer? Happiness doesn't leave me, I let it go. I'm grateful happiness has the patience of a book and the forgiveness of a saint.
