I’ve been writing for a few different websites lately and wanted to share a post I wrote for InvisiblyMe, called Happiness Isn’t a Destination.
It’s an expansion on something I’ve touched on before – the idea of happiness not being something decided and set by society but instead us.
I was delighted to put together the post for such a brilliant blog and I hope you enjoy the collaboration.

July 23, 2018 at 11:17 amI read your ‘guest post’ on Invisibly Me last week and commented on it, what a nice way to look at life. If we didn’t live with our chronic conditions we wouldn’ t be who we are , we’d be someone else.
I am just about to post on the exact saying thing following up from this as I’ve read it three times now. Happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a state and if we were only happy all the time we wouldn’t be able to feel any other emotions.

I’ve learnt over the years that we have to move on from the bitterness and grief and learn to view life differently and more accepting of the change it throws at us.
