Yours, mine, and everyone else's happiness has value. I get that's not the point you were trying to make. All I am trying to say is that a utilitarian approach to your own happiness will almost always leave you unhappy. You deserve to be happy just as much as anyone else.

Shut up, you are not my supervisor!!

(But that's really sweet & regardless how stupid it sounds some people do need to hear that over and over again. I think it's actually a net benefit to us all if everyone is kinda happy bcs that's how we can have more to give in the long run.)
