Have you?

Have you thought about the difference between "having fun" and "experiencing happiness"?

This question, from an interesting source, made me think about what I'm doing in my life and how i'm currently working hard to better myself. While it's not necessarily "fun" all the time, I really do think that I'm experiencing happiness. Or at least in some way self-actualizing. The two are strangely interlinked in my brain.

I'm getting a healthier tone in my trumpet sound. I wrote a response to a German article that only had 3 major mistakes. I can confidently write the first half of the Arabic alphabet. I can conjugate in the subjunctive mood in Spanish. I've worked out every other day for almost a month.

These things make me happy.
