i guess i'd say that "true happiness" is kind of too lofty a goal. at least, that's helped me. the future is blurry and scary for me too right now. but, what i can do, is make time for my passions and the people i love as much as possible and take it all day by day. those things make me happy. i don't worry about being a "happy person" and, instead, think about what could bring me comfort in the moment. communicate clearly and love deeply. you deserve the same patience you'd give a loved one.
