The calm before the storm

"I am happy. I think I really am. But then I get sad. And sometimes it overwhelms me how sad I can get." 


This perfectly sums up how I feel. I am happy and content with my life, I truly am. But sometimes, a wave so powerful, so sudden washes over me. And I damn nearly drown each time. And this makes me rethink and question my life constantly. Am I truly happy? Are we ever truly elated? Maybe this is what life is: a calm sea with the occasional super storm. And if there were no storm, maybe our placid waters would seem incredible boring, don't you think? xox
