It's better to be extremely happy for a short while, then to just be okay your whole life

I remember being extremely happy but it never lasted.
Being extremely happy for a short while makes anything that is okay feel pretty stupid. I don't even think I've even felt extremely happy in my entire life? What is the definition of extremely happy anyway? I mean, I've never felt so happy I cried. Tears of joy? That is like a whole, new foreign concept to me. I'm content, that's what I am. I'm happy, I think, I'm more of happy than okay. I remember in a recent Chinese test there was this question in the 理解问答,“你觉得什么才是真的辛福呢?” It was six marks. At that time, I wrote a lot of stuff I didn't really feel cause I just wanted the six marks. I mean, that's the aim when you're doing exams right? To get as much marks as you can. I thought about it afterwards, and happiness is so subjective, I mean so many things make me happy, I seriously can't even list them all. Mundane stuff make me happy, like even if someone smiles at me as I pass them, or says hi, I feel happy. As I am typing this, I suddenly feel so thankful cause I've really managed to be happy majority of the time.

Sometimes happiness can be as simple as drinking water when you feel like it. Or receiving a text from a friend you haven't spoke to in over a year. Something like that.
