happening

A hippie word originating in 1960’s American counterculture which essentially just means a mass gathering of ‘heads with music or some theme of cultural importance or some sort, such as, but not limited to, a peaceful protest or demonstration. 'Happenings' blurred the rigid lines between music concerts/festivals and the rest of the world, helping incorporate psychedelic rock/jazz and funk elements into everyday life. Previously, music had mostly been listened to on records or enjoyed by a select few in a stadium or amphitheatre. Happenings allowed music to be heard in parks, city streets, and rooftops, allowing the soundwaves to reach more ears than before, allowing for a subconscious shift to take place in local area residents, giving cities like San Francisco the renown they have today as a city of music and arts, and more!

A happening represented the forefront, or the evolution of consciousness. If you were dropped out, turned on, and tuned in, you were part of it... even if you didn't even know it.

Not what actually happened

If your description of the events that took place here is discordant with mine... You may be a delusion liar. I would tell you to fix yourself but it would be like telling a retard to wipe his own ass.
Hym "Much like your religion, that's not what actually happened here. Your assessment of what is happening is deliberately wrong and it has already gotten and will get children killed."

Love story that never happened

A situation where an individual has big crush on someone, but they realize that they can never actually date them for numerous reasons. Some people get over it, but others never actually recover from it because of how much they cared about that person. Some reasons are the person being out of their league, the other individual already being in a romantic relationship, the individual is aromantic, that individual is not romantically attracted to them, etc.
Chester: Hey, Lexy. How are you doing? We have not heard from you in months.

Lexy: I am doing okay; although I am kind of sad about Devin.

Mariah: What happened?
Lexy: I had a crush on him, but I realize could never actually date him because he would probably reject me due him being way out of my league and I heard a rumor that he is seeing someone else. It’s a love story that never happened.

Chester: I can see why that upsetting, but maybe if you wait things might change. They might breakup down the line and if you took chance and asked him out maybe then you might be able to date him.

Lexy: Thanks for the advice. I might try that.

Until it happens to you

THIS was already happening to me. THIS is all I care about. Yet you expected me to care about your dead kids and your various "isms" and "phobias"

That's not what happened

That's not what happened and I'm going to murder a child if you don't admit that's not what happened. If my brain has any damage I'm going to murder a child even after you capitulate.
Hym "That's not what happened. Get involved now or run the risk of getting a child murdered."
