why yes, i am happy.

i see people that i haven't seen for awhile..or quite a long time...and they comment on how good i look, how happy i look.  and when i look at photos of me, i don't see the haunting look in my eyes anymore.  that look that most overlooked, but i could see.  the fear and troubled feelings.  the falseness of happy.  choosing happy, but not having been able to change circumstances.
i am happy.
exuberantly happy.
joyfully happy.
regularly.
normally.
and it is very wonderful.
why yes, amazingly, i am happy!!!
yipppppeeeeee!!!!
