Joy pursued me. So, I slipped away and hid in the deepest corner of my soul. I kept hammering away that every joy would pass. Because what I feared more was not the usual pain, but tasting those happy moments that lasted only a fleeting instant.

    I’m sitting here really thinking about this, and I wonder is it exactly how some people feel about joy.
