Ever wonder if joy is just a sneakier, more committed cousin of happiness—or maybe its own wild beast altogether? Well, Tracee’s got something to say about that, and honestly, it’s blowing my cosmic mind. On a day when Mercury’s doing its usual zigzag dance in retrograde, making us all second-guess our texts and maybe even our feelings, Tracee drops this gem: joy isn’t something you pop into your cart at 7-Eleven like a midnight snack; it’s the whole artisanal meal you craft with some sweat and a heck of a lot of heart. She talks about joy having feet—yes, feet—and roots, giving it this whole grounded, “I’m here for the long haul” vibe that happiness just can’t touch. It’s an attitude, a perspective, a freakin’ lens we choose to put on, like sunglasses for the soul. Stick around if you’re ready to dig deeper than just a sugar rush of good vibes—and maybe figure out how to keep your spirits buoyant when the stars are ignoring your DMs. LEARN MORE

In the video originally posted by @offthecuff, Tracee explains: “I think joy is different from happiness. I feel like happiness is something you can get at 7-Eleven, and joy is something you earn and work for and takes practice…I feel like joy has legs. I feel like joy has feet, I feel like joy has roots, I feel like it creates space and allows for room for more than just a good day.”

She continues: “I think joy is an attitude. I think joy is a perspective, and I think joy is a lens through which I live and look at my life.”
