HAPPINESS?? What is your happiness? What does it mean to you? Everyone is different. A lot of things can make you happy.I think that today life is so busy, no one truly appreciates the things that make them happy anymore.
I am such a big kid at heart. When I have time I color, go to the park, read or write, and things like...listen to soothing music. People may say that I am a child, honestly.. I am okay with that. Think about when we were kids? We had no worries. We weren't stressed. We were carefree and we always truly happy... LIKE LEGIT HAPPY like kool-aid smile on my face with the red coloring all around my mouth LOL. This kid knows what I am talking about!!!
(P.S. Not a pic of mine.. I do not claim any rights.)
I have been trying in my adult life to be stable like an adult but live as happy as a kid. There is a perfect balance of happiness with that I think. As children EVERYONE is your friends and you full heartedly give your friendship out. Growing up we do the same things but we get betrayed by some and learn to close off people and what things to look for. I have learned a lot from people like that. So now, I try to surround myself with positive people who offer a good support system. In return I do the same and I offer advice and a shoulder to lean on. The ONLY thing people cannot rely on me for is being punctual. LOL.. However I am working on it :) However most people understand.. that's what makes me.. ME. like you can ask people who have known me years.. they will say something like... "I told Teary to be here at 5:30. She said she is on her way." MOST PEOPLE know that if I say I am on the way.... Expect me to be there in 30-45 minutes LOL.
Well, I have not been happier than I have been these last few days. I almost forgot what genuine happiness and bliss felt like. Real conversation with someone who knows what they are talking about and how to speak to a person with politeness and sincerity in their voice. that is something that you do not find very often in todays world. To be able to say "Dang, we just sat out here and talked about everything for 3 hours." without it being a problem and then stare at the stars.. that is something that does not happen. Realizing that we did that and still continue to talk like we have all the time in the world and are not the least bit tired from the days earlier activities.. Was so refreshing. I could not have imagined spending my time any better. I feel like I am living a fantasy and nothing is real. I would not have traded it for anything else in the world.
Happiness is also being happy for other people that you care about. My little sister recently got married and is expecting a baby boy soon. I am so proud of who she has become and that she is creating a family and a new life with her husband. My little brother that little weirdo is in his own world and he is happy with the way things are going. I haven't heard an complaint come from either of their lips. My parents I beg to differ, but that’s how they are.
I work at an amazing place that when people leave here they are always happy. We are offering something to people that doesn’t really exist anywhere else. My coworkers have become my family.
Let me call out one person in particular.. Tiffany. My goodness.. Since day one.. When I meet her.. She was so totally honest. She was funny and happy and told the truth no matter how much it sucked. Since I have been working here, she is my go to person to vent and talk if needed. I would like to think that I am the same for her.. HOPEFULLY. She is like a sister to me or a distant cousin who laughs so loud the house around the corner could hear. Lol – I'm just kidding :D She was my inspiration for this blog and I cannot than her enough. Also, because she is like family to me I have adopted her fiancé Stephen as an in-law (YES – it is spelled with a "ph" lol) these two together inspire me to find a love like theirs.. Not even.. To find a love that is my own.. That we understand each other and can play like children together and etc.. You get it.. Thanks you guys for showing me what LOVE really looks like!!! <3 I could not have found a better friend in her. I am so fortunate to have met these two.
Happiness isnt just that...Not just people you care about. It’s the simple pleasures in life. Like eating your favorite food, listening to your favorite song, sitting on a rooftop... anything basically.. that makes you smile and melts your heart. <3 Take a moment to think about what makes you happy and do it. Even if it is just for a second. its better than being unhappy for that one second... smiles are contagious! so SMILE!
I have so much more to say but I will save it for next time. So until then.. as I always say.. Chin up and arms out.. take it one day at a time!
Until next time...
See you soon loves!
