Ain’t Nobody Happy.
I’m a firm believer in this. Luckily, it makes me happy to make others happy.

In all honesty, I believe this proclamation is about more than what’s simply stated. I think this message translates across platforms and genders. It’s not specifically about “mamas” nor is it as easy (or complicated) as “happy”.

And despite some interpretations, I don’t think it’s about being selfish.

To me, it means that if the base is solid, you can readily build upon it.
Individuals, relationships, businesses, etc. Self-care, mutual respect, intentional interactions and awareness of repercussions should be basic traits in a civil society.

Seriously, though, if making others miserable makes you happy, ain’t nobody truly happy.
