Is it normal for normal to make you happy?

From my analysis of me smiling in a photo on my mobile phone dressed in a denim jacket and looking normal, which I think is great, I remember the several months ago when I was happy, and didn't feel like life was wonderful being different in any way, in fact, I was hating life but I smiled in every negative situation, which was more effective in my days of normal. From what I saw as evidence in my photo my life was blissfully normal, it was average yet great, and totally wonderful, but from my posh photos which look nice I'm seeing a false happiness with no truly wonderful mind of that in the photo "normal guy #1", is that normal?
