Happiness

The quote I think best describes how I know when I'm happy is this: "Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel its warmth." - Unknown. When I'm happy, I feel all the worrying and stressing and sadness I've ever experienced just leave my mind for awhile. I don't have to worry about the next big project coming up, or stress about maintaining my grades at a high level. I'm just me. I feel like the only time I'm truly happy is when all of these things are pushed from my mind for the time being. I'm not even happy in my sleep it seems, because this morning, I actually woke myself up crying, and my dream was really sad. I think feeling happy can promote knowledge in the sense that, if you're not stressing over other things while trying to learn, you'll retain the knowledge, and still be happy at the same time.
