Happiness is not a natural state. It's a temporary feeling like any other emotion. Social media does a great job convincing you otherwise, that's all you see are people's highlight rails, which makes you feel like something's wrong if you are not always happy, you engage in hedonism always seeking pleasure. The problem is when you chase highs just to escape the lows, you slowly numb yourself, the highs stop feeling high, everything becomes flat and shallow, and the more you tell yourself you only want to be happy, the more miserable you actually become.
