If you guessed Happiness... Ding Ding Ding. You're indeed correct!
We all want to be happy. I'm talking the true and honest feeling that is happiness. From the time we wake up in the morning until we go back to sleep at night we are always trying to find something, anything, to make us feel good. It's the thing we want the most and that can't be denied. We search for happiness in materialistic items, in others, in money, in the way we look, and plenty of other things that at the end of the day, will never satisfy our desire. Too often, we forget to find happiness inside the place where it's located all along: Within ourselves.
What is happiness?
Maybe happiness is doing what we love to do. Regardless of what others say. Maybe happiness is spending time with those who make us a better person by just loving us. Maybe happiness is driving around on a Sunday evening with your best friend blasting old rock songs and singing LOUD because you don't have a care in the world. Maybe happiness is holding hands with someone you really care about. Maybe happiness is having a sleepover with your baby sis. Or seeing her light up when you ask to her to go see a movie or to accompany you to the mall. Maybe happiness is the breath before the first kiss, or the days spent all alone with a good book. Maybe happiness isn't so out of reach after all.
Life changes like the weather, thats for sure.
Every day has something in store. It could even be our last. So isn't it kind of amazing that you are here? You are breathing? There's a heart within you that is beating. No matter how broken it might feel. You have a mouth that was meant to smile and vocal cords that were made to laugh. You have a life that was made to be lived. Look at yourself. Go look in the mirror and LOOK at yourself. Look at how beautiful you are. Take a deep breath and just know that even if sometimes it feels as if the world will never spin your way, it will. And once you stop searching for the thing or person that is going to turn you into a happier person.. Take a look at yourself and realize that YOU are that person to turn your life around. Unhappy about something? CHANGE IT. You have control over the way you feel and the way you live your life.
Sometimes the bad things out weigh the good. When something bad happens in our lives, we are quick to assume that things will stay awful forever. We tend to dwell in the negativity and sometimes, sadness can be so darkening, It's hard to believe that we will ever be able to see the light again. It's so easy to feel down and give up, and we often become too lazy to fight through trials because we don't believe in ourselves. But realize something, boys and girls: Happiness is a choice. It ultimately is. We choose the way we deal with things and You choose the attitudes and points of view you hold and the way you perceive the world. And you want to know somethin'? This world has lost its magic. It really has. So don't let it beat the magic out of you because it no longer has any itself.
I wish I could tell you how to be happy.. but I know it doesn't help at all. I can go on and on about all of the things that makes life beautiful but if you are anything like me you will think that I'm spitting useless BS because no one understands the way you feel. Being sad is sad. I don't want to convince anyone that you should snap out of it and ignore your bad problems and replace them with some good stuff to help you ignore it. Because you shouldn't ignore it. Life is about feeling. It's about going through a Storm and coming out with a rainbow. It's about falling down and getting back up. It's about losing yourself just to find it again. Life is life. It's difficult and it doesn't make any sense but that's what is so interesting. I believe that the meaning of life is to feel. It's to feel love and to feel sadness and feel faith and hope but also sorrow and emptiness but then to feel content and whole.
One day, everything is going to make perfect sense. All I know is that everyone and everything has a purpose. YOU have purpose. Even if it's hard and even if you feel as no one gives a damn, someone DOES. Every heartache and every tear and every bruised knee and every disappointment. It all makes us who we are. And at the end of the day, that's all we really have anyway. So even if you don't know it yet, remember that every cloud has a silver lining (GUESS THAT COUNTRY SONG.) And you make be shaking your head and thinking that things will never get better, but down the road you are going to realize that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. God doesn't give us anything we can't handle. So even if today isn't beautiful, nor tomorrow, give it time. One day it's all going to make sense and you are going to be happy. I can promise you that.
Stay strong. Don't you dare give up and keep your head above water because you are worth it all. The world is a beautiful place full of evil people who would love nothing more than to see you give up. Don't. You are loved. You are important. And you have purpose.
And with that being said, I hope everyone reading has a fantastic week. Much love to you all! I can't tell you enough how much I adore everyone who takes the time out of their day to give my blog a read.
You could be happy, readers. I promise. Give it a try. You could be amazed with the outcome you receive.
xoxox, Always,
Bshawty.
