As I made it to the bottom step from the upstairs after hearing a crash, I see my cat walking behind the fallen standing fan. Ugh, cats. They always mess with you like this. I walk over to the fan and start picking it up, when I see my cat hiding behind the bathroom door. My cat. I look between the two identical looking cats, one behind the door and one next to the fan. Next to me. My cat was always the scared one in any situation. I’m still mid-way picking up the fan, so I start again. Then, a hand, from what seems to be the fan, catches my wrist.
“Ahhhh, we’ve already been here! It won’t last. This happiness is temporary.” That was my sense.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as we’re happy right now.” And that was my joy responding.
“No! He’s going to take over in just a week or two. And you know this!”
“Yes, I do. And I would be glad to fix this cycle of us going back and forth, controlling the mind, but I don’t know how. So I’m going to enjoy my time while I can.” Truthfully speaking with a smile.
“Ahhhhh-“
“Stop, smile, let’s start this blessed day!! I’m happy and you can’t bring me down.” A rush of energy and excitement rush through me because of her. We leave logic behind.
*Later in the Afternoon*
“Oh, you’re done now? Already? That was quicker than I thought.” Now he -my sadness- had to take over because my happiness wouldn’t.
“Yeah, sure.” She couldn’t.
“It was the argument they had. Why do people always have a negative attitude?!”
“Whatever.”
It was always iffy on how long my happiness would stay, but sadness was almost always sure to stay for a couple weeks, keeping my body healthy while happiness restored herself and looked for the knowledge on how to be everlasting.
