I know precisely what you mean. I am rubbish at writing journal entries when I want to anyway, but I'll often write angsty journal entries in my head on my walk home from school and then get distracted nby something shiny or cuddly before I get the chance to type it up and then forget what it was that I was going to say.
I was thinking about this earlier today, whilst musing on whether I was happy or unhappy or merely content, and I realised that I am happy unless something rubbish enough happens to make me forget that I am happy, and that when I am feeling unhappy as a baseline I will often forget that this is so when something marginally awesome happens (like going places with friends, or having amusing conversations, or reading an exceptionally good book, or the world being an exceptionally beautiful place when I am walking to school, or some such thing like that). It's a little difficult to pin things down, sometimes, therefore.
