idk how far I'll go, I'll go till I get tired
also, warning, while this prob won't be mostly autobiographical, I'll talk about easy access to pleasure. If reading about this is causes you negative feelings, it might be better not to read for now. It'll always be here later

also going to talk about inequality in happiness and well-being, of which there is more than I think most people realize and how it's not fair, if this is triggering you may also want to skip it
I'll be more intuitive and opinionated rather than scientific, views may change

1. Happiness is far more unequally distributed than things like height. Some people are just kind of happy almost their entire life and don't suffer much, these are called hyperthymics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthym they're usually related to bipolar people but don't have downs

2. most hyperthymics learn fast to hide it, they're confused as children because their mood is so different. I think I'm a light hyperthymic, was bullied a lot in a bad neighborhood for my mood, had to learn how to act depressed like everyone else, hiding rapture under a hoodie
