Because I Was Happy is about a person who suffers from emotional breakdowns, from having everyday be the same and thinks about giving up on her life. Suddenly, she has a flashback about her mom. Even though the memory is hazy, the only thing that came to mind was her mom’s reminder to keep smiling and be happy no matter how bad things get. When she gets up and looks to the sky, she smiles and says: “I’ll keep that in mind, mom. Thank you for everything.”
