We have to remind ourselves of what makes us happy from time to time, otherwise we forget and get all miserable because life is hard and people are jerks and there's too much laundry. Sitting down and taking the time to say "No, I am happy and I'll tell you why..." is important and I'm glad you did it.
And I love you too. A lot.
