Dear Happiness
Do you know why I call you Happiness?
That first night we shared a meal, the first night after you parted with your former lover, we dined on the food from my homeland. The final item had the following message for me:
You are not, however, responsible for my Happiness.
That is a burden which rests solely upon my own shoulders, but while it's rude and presumptuous of me to saddle you with even the slightest bit of that responsibility, that you are unwilling to consider taking it on is of infinite sadness.

Stop searching forever--happiness is just next to you.And while I know that the statement was merely pre-packaged, dimestore wisdom, I like to think that for a brief time, the name was appropriate.
