In recent times, especially so since the start of this month, I've been experiencing a joy that is unsurpassed in all my years alive (see below to see if I'm older than you haha) ... and it's all very strange. Let me describe it to you.

From the area below my lungs, probably where the diaphragm is, to my stomach, there is a well of happiness. And all the rejoicing I experience is basically from this area. And I became aware of this place only in the last week or so, and told Stickman who told me that it's where the HS dwells. (huh what's HS? hahaha...)

So, well, initially I reasoned that it should be because I'm doing something I really like this year. Perhaps my CIRCUMSTANCES are not bad. But seriously, there's a nagging thought that I've not pinned it down. And I begin to question if this well of happiness will run dry... certainly it has run low because my circumstances are not as good as you think. And Stickman brought me a chocolate (after he ate half of it) as an attempt to feed my 'well'.

Let me divert a little. I've this little theory that no matter how severe our most pressing needs really are, when we dwell and worry excessively about it, we suffer at a degree that is similar in intensity. So a person with bad acne may be just as depressed as a person who has broken up with her boyfriend. And a person who has failed her O Levels may be just as depressed as a person who's fighting against cancer. That's why someone can shoot himself over a failed relationship, and another can shoot himself over credit card debts. And both are issues that are not immediately life-threatening. Anyway that's my little theory on life's sufferings.

So well, coming back to the matter of this happy well I found below my heart, I've just had a confirmation of what I thought all along - today! At one part of a 3-part 'practice', we are to pray over another's life and find a word of knowledge and discernment about our partner (at the start of the exercise we were instructed to find someone we don't already know). So pastor was asking us to discern the state of mind of our partner - is it stress or ...

So my partner just went, "I sense joy in your heart. This joy is not due to circumstances, which are not joyful at the moment. But it's from above..." The rest I won't continue as it's too personal. But it's a great feeling to be alive and knowing that I've a future, and my happiness does not depend on my circumstances.
