So, I finally got to see the movie Inside Out and was blown away by it.
I now believe that my Joy got lost in long-term memory and on her train ride back to headquarters hooked up with a band of traveling hobos and decided to see the world for 40 years until Sadness, with three black eyes, riddled with Asthma, arthritis and anxiety, and hunched over from years of hard labor, too tired to run things anymore,sick of Fear and Disgust always telling her what to do and Anger constantly grabbing the steering wheel from her, finally tracked her down and drug her back to the controls, where she reluctantly rejoined the team.
Thank you Disney for making it all so clear now.
