Too Happy to Be Sad

The other day, my Dad got really mad at me. He said that he could never understand how we could get into an argument, and within an hour (sometimes minutes), I would be back to normal carrying about my day while he was still reeling.

He said nothing annoyed him more than the fact that I could come to him after an argument happy, and with a smile on my face while he was still stuck up on our little dispute. He said it appeared that I was heartless, but really just wanted to know what was going on my head; did I care?

I'd never really thought about it before. But I kind of let go of things a lot quicker than others. I can just find no reason to hang onto things like that. Life's too short. So you kind of just accept it, don't let it hurt you, move on and more often than not forget about it. I can see how this could be percieved as heartless.

Realistically, it is simply that you are only letting in the things that make you happy, and rejecting the things that can be hurtful.

But what's the point of dwelling on something that is hurting you, rather than moving on and being happy?!
