Just Okay

Saw this quote on a friend's fb yesterday:

‎"Don't you think its better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?"

I think I'd rather be just okay for a lifetime.

Am I just okay? I don't know. I'm not sure what okay means anymore.

Yes, it's nice to be extremely happy. But if it's only for a short while, that means there's a point when you will lose that happiness. That is the really painful part. And after that loss, I don't know if you can ever really even be at the okay level again.

I am grateful for what I've had. But there are times when I wish I never had anything at all. At least then there would be no sorrow and emptiness, because you can't miss what you don't know.
