The quiet hum of contentment

Happiness isn't always loud. Sometimes it's the quiet hum of contentment when the day winds down, or the way sunlight spills across your floor in the morning. It's found in laughter that catches you off guard, in the comfort of someone remembering your favorite song, in the small victories that no one else sees.

It's not a destination, it's a rhythm, a way of noticing the good even when things aren't perfect. Happiness lives in presence, in gratitude, in connection, and often it shows up when you stop chasing it.
