American culture? I don't want to generalize beyond that.

What I'm thinking about specifically is that I feel like we have this tendency to think of joy as something fundamentally divorced from and outside of common, everyday life. To think of it as something fundamentally extraordinary.

That's not my experience with it, which is why I asked. I dunno, maybe it's a regional thing.

I think you have a really weird perspective on life, no offense. Pretty much everyone I know talks about stuff like their afternoon Starbucks break or when their favorite song comes on the radio as something that makes them happy.

I think part of it is specific to the idea of "joy", not happiness? IDK

[(Anonymous)]

... they're the same thing, though?

NAYRT—not really? Idk, I think of joy as rarer, more intense, and maybe less, idk, material than happiness? Like, I’d be happy that my favorite author has a new book out, or that I found a perfect pair of comfy shoes that fit perfectly, but I’d be joyous if a cure was found for a rare deadly disease my best friend had been infected by. Happiness is finding $20 on the ground and joy is marrying the love of your life.
