Happiness Therapy: Why I Changed My Wednesday Place

Last Wednesday, something shifted.

Not in the sky, not in the streets—but inside me.

I changed my Wednesday afternoon place. You might wonder why?

Well… let’s say I was just looking for a slow moment: a chai, some gentle music, my notebook, and the comfort of stories.

But even when you’re not looking for trouble—it has a strange way of finding you.

A man from my past showed up.

We had a history. I did him a favor once and saved his life, and in some odd twist of fate, he did me one now — just by showing up.

You see, some people share a table, and the image of the past is between them.

Two people with too much between them can’t stay in the same seat.

So I left.

I didn’t want to complicate things or have another chance of a crazy teacup.

I was looking for peace—only.


✨ A Glimpse of Love… and Something More

At my new place, I noticed a young woman sitting alone. For over an hour, she just stayed. Quiet. Thoughtful.
It felt like watching a version of myself. Alone.
Still.
Processing.

But then—suddenly—a man rushed in. Her boyfriend, wearing a dirty kitchen apron, crossing the street on his break just to share dinner with her.

A sandwich, a few laughs.
Love in the air.
And something simple… something real.


💛 Healing Before Happiness

That moment made me think about writing a different kind of story.
Not a love story. A therapy story.

Because here’s a truth that hit me hard that day:

Love isn’t supposed to heal you.
Healed souls are the only ones who can truly love.

To love deeply, to be happy—you have to be radically open, brave enough to be vulnerable.
And if you have pain, unhealed wounds, bitterness, resentment—then what you’re calling “love” might just be a desperate simulation.


💬 Why Am I Not Happy?

Ask yourself this:
“Why am I not happy?”

The answer might not be what you think.
Your soul might not be healed.
Your mind might still be looping old pain.
Your body might be worn from pretending.

Or maybe it’s all of it.

And here’s the hard part:
Only you can heal it.

Not your pet.
Not your partner.
Not money.
Not success.

Only you can walk toward that healing.


🛤 Change the Place. Change the Self.

Sometimes, you need to change your café.
Sometimes, you need to change your life.

Change your space.
Change your body.
Change your beliefs.
Change your relationship with your past, your habits, your silence, your noise.

Healing isn’t easy, but it’s real.
And it’s yours alone to find.


💥 My Own Unhappiness

For me?
I realized that I’m tired of living in a society where:

  • Good, normal people are constantly watched and controlled,
  • While toxic, dishonest people live free and are even supported in their chaos.

That distortion messes up my life and home. It steals joy.

Because I believe life should be normal and free—not one or the other.

You can’t be crazy and free, it doesn’t work.
You can’t be normal and controlled, it’s soul-destroying.

You must choose how you want to live—then fight for that version of freedom with everything you have.


🧭 Final Note

So no, this isn’t a love story.
It’s a therapy one.

A reminder that your healing is your responsibility.
That your peace might come from a different bench, a new table, a fresh song, or a warm cup of tea in a quieter corner.

Not by stealing or messing with someone else’s home and life! And naming it CONTROL!

Start there.

Happiness is always genuine!

The Destructive Art of Crafting Compatibility

Marriage, often romanticized, is not the idyllic partnership it’s made out to be. Whether you marry for love, faith, parental advice, or choose a relationship, the potential harm a marriage can inflict on the individuals involved—and by extension, their families and future children—can be unimaginable.

Contrary to popular belief, marriage is not merely a construct that can be built and sustained with daily effort. Nor is it a drug that creates an obsessive dependency based on feelings. Instead, marriage involves two personalities who, by chance, find compatibility and are open to engaging in a normal relationship.

But how can this compatibility be assessed? While no definitive method exists, one thing is certain: you can usually sense when someone is not compatible with you. It’s crucial to listen to this intuition and be honest with the other person about it.

Attempting to build a family, relationship, or partnership based on therapy for incompatibility often leads to failure. A family thrives on emotional compatibility; everything else can be constructed and reconstructed around this foundation. However, when emotional compatibility is absent, and manipulation, gaslighting, or emotional destruction occur, it leaves lasting damage. These actions create tensions and grudges that can damage the relationship and affect everyone directly or indirectly.

Children, in particular, do not deserve the fallout of a poorly chosen partnership. If you realize you’ve made a wrong choice in your personal relationship, whether aware or unaware at the time, you bear responsibility for it.

So, how can you rectify this situation, stop the ongoing harm, and heal the damages created? Here are some steps to consider:

  1. Acknowledge the Problem: Recognize and admit that the relationship is not working due to fundamental incompatibility.
  2. Communicate Honestly: Have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your feelings and the issues at hand.
  3. Seek Professional Help: Consider counseling or therapy to understand the dynamics of your relationship and to navigate the complexities of separation, if necessary.
  4. Prioritize Emotional Health: Focus on your emotional well-being and that of your children. Creating a stable and loving environment is crucial.
  5. Plan for the Future: If separation is the best option, plan for it thoughtfully. Ensure that both parties can move forward healthily and that children are supported emotionally and financially.

Ultimately, while marriage can be a beautiful union, it requires GENUINE emotional compatibility.

If this is lacking, it’s essential to address the situation honestly and constructively, prioritizing the well-being of all involved.
