what we should do

You ever notice how, when things are going well, you don't really take the time to write them down? How we tend to focus on the negative things, we barely even think about how happy we are, or how a particular moment makes us feel.
Maybe we do.
Sometimes.
But it's only after we've lost that which made us happy that one day, that second.
I haven't been writing because I haven't been thinking about the hard stuff, I haven't been remember the bad times, I haven't been an emotional wreck. Sometimes you just have to take in the moments that make us feel so full of joy that the bad days just melt away, and the sorrow that constantly ebbs at our hearts is forgotten.
If only we could remember to pause in those moments where life feels lighter than air, I think we'd be much happier people in general. Because then, we could remember that feeling of elation, and when times get hard, we could remember how that joy feels and know that it won't hurt forever. That way, when we're happy, we won't feel guilty for not being sad (knowing that there are people out there who are crying).
Instead of living to get past the sad moments, we should live to be part of the happy ones.
