“The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it’s gone. I mean, you may think to yourself that you’re happy. But you don’t really believe it. You focus on the petty bulls**t, or the next job, or whatever. It’s only looking back by comparison with what comes after that you really understand, that’s what happiness felt like”
A quote from Kellogg in Fallout 4. Took me by surprise and I reflected for a moment on all I took for granted.
