Whats your happiness?
Now i know i said nothing about me or boo hoo stuff. But its just something i was thinking about tonight as i walked around my neighborhood. I havent walked in a long time. I used to put my headphones on and press play on my walkman, yes i did say walkman, and walk around and look at the houses that i wished i lived in, imagine a life that could be. I was a teenager. But tonight i found myself going back to that time, minus the walkman, and walking around with my ipod looking at houses and imagining a life that could. Now the difference between now and then is i was truly happy back then. I had teenager problems but who didnt. But i didnt have day to day life problems, worrying about bills, trying to plan out my life for the next 20 years. You shouldnt have to constantly worry about something going wrong all the time. 10 years later thats where i am. I have to somehow find that happiness i had as a teenager, the carefree attitude with no worries. I think thats another reason i came back home. You have to go back to the source, to find what was once. I dont think any of you knew me when I lived at home last. Those were really good times. Just hanging with friends, discovering new things, my whole life ahead of me. With all my changes in my life this year, thats the one thing that hasnt really returned. So my question is to all "What is your happiness?"

My happiness is knowing that I am paying my bills, buying my food, going to work every day to pay for what i buy. It may not be everything I would like, but I am doing it - and that makes me happy. Yes, I can't afford a plane ticket to Phoenix to see my friends and soon to be baby (it will be an actually baby soon), but I could afford the $60 to Charlotte for the weekend. Yes, I am counting my pennies, just like the next person, but I am doing it - no one else is doing it for me. I am independant and making it work for me!
Happiness is different for everybody. For me it's learing. Learning to let things go. Learning to be independent. Learning to be yourself, with no worries about what someone will think of you. (Even if you are trying to impress someone.)Learning to be honest. Learning to take life day by day, but still having a vision for the future. Learning to use your own individual talents for good. Learning to challenge yourself. Learning to put yourself in situations that you would normally fear so that you CAN grow as an individual. Learning to not try to solve every problem in your world and sometimes just dealing with them on a day to day basis. Learning acceptance. Learning patience. Learning to laugh at yourself and not take yourself TOO serious. I think just growing and being comfortable with who you are is the most important thing. Also, learning to remember the past to cherish and laugh at the memories, but always moving forward. And, always standing up straight. One last thing: Trusting that the stars are aligned the way they should be and you are where you are supposed to be at that point in your life.
Now that I think of it. All of that stuff above that I wrote is way too deep. Fuck happiness! :)
Happiness is being who you are, and not worrying about losing or making friends because of it.
Nice Ipod
living a life worth living to the fullest and not wasting any second of it. true happiness will only come if you live for something that is constant...something eternal. this my friend, is the means of true happiness.
Puppies. That's the answer. The answer is "puppies."
I like puppies. Medium rare.
