In the search for happiness.

I know a woman who's finally used to being on an anti-depressant. For years, she's been afraid to take the plunge. Fearful that it would curb the fluctuations in her life. The highs and the lows. And that she'd end up somewhere in the middle. Day in and day out. Sort of neutral. And therefore, that wouldn't be her real self. Instead, it would be her drug-induced self. Well, turns out that she likes her new self. She likes being rid of the extreme highs and the extreme lows. I've been trying to tell her that for a long time. That it's all right to alter one's life. In the search for happiness. --Jim Broede
