being happy

being happy for someone.

i realized tonight theres a distinction between saying you’re happy for someone, your mind believing it, and your heart feeling it.

i think for a long time i thought i wouldn’t be happy for my ex. to be clear, she deserves all the love and good things a person could get.

i dont know why but i always think of it like this. mlk said “the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” the universe itself doesn’t care. people do. and she’s one of the people that bends it. the world is better for having had her in it.

im happy for her. i really am. i feel it in my heart. is it wrong that i only feel that when i found something that makes me content? i dont know. but maybe ill unpack that some other day.
