When you get used to happiness your brain starts functioning differently. It changes the way it perceives things. Makes assumptions that are not necessarily true. And starts expecting a continuance of that happiness. It tricks you into forgetting where you really stand, creating an illusion where you demand more than life can fairly hand out to you.The most painful journey is the one that takes you from Eldorado to reality. It’s most often a speedy transition, if not hindered by denial and almost always results in a crash landing.The trick is to rehabilitate yourself in the real world as soon as possible by creating substitutes for the happiness that you were so badly dependent on for your survival.Sadly, the best substitutes are as unreliable as the originals. The worst replacements? Methods of self destruction. Not very effective in rehabilitating you. But completely in your control.
