Zoe-- my post was not aimed to "tear away" the happiness that you are
talking about; rather it was an attempt to point out the strain of some of
living up to/living out the positive labels-- Mairian says it better than I
(Thanks Mairian!)-- to not acknowledge the kind of "burden" that this kind
of thinking/labeling imposes on some hurts, I would argue, the "happiness"
that some seek via coming into their own identities.
