Unexpected joy

A 3-step guide to finding your happiness again (jeez, I'm kidding)

I don’t know what happened, but in the past week or so I’ve been feeling really great. Like, “getting out of bed in the morning, excited for what the day holds”-kind of great. “Smiling for no reason”-kind of great. When I noticed this was happening, I immediately starting questioning why I was feeling more or less elated. Was I in denial about how I was actually feeling, creating a larger drop height once reality hit again? Was I secretly feeling happy about the fact that my ex was returning from his trip and my brain was somehow registering this as a chance to get back together? Or were my anti-depression meds finally kicking in with some real *oumph* after two years?
