Once in 6th grade, my teacher read us a story about a man who chose to be happy. I was like “holy shit you can do that?” and then I was happy for like the next 7 years.
Then life became difficult in various ways and I haven’t been as happy since. I still can locally choose to be happy on the timescale of hours but it doesn’t feel sustainable.

How exactly did life become difficult for you?
I have local lows when I encounter difficulties, but those pass pretty quickly as I approach or solve those difficulties.
