Are You Happy Now? What is happiness? Happiness isn’t the rainbow at the end of a storm. Its about learning to dance in the rain, and sitting on the front porch with a loved one watching it pass over. Happiness is the feeling in your stomach when you’re wrapped in the arms of the person you love. It’s when you have been alone for so long, and you finally meet that one person that wakes up the butterflies in your stomach. What people need to realize is that you can find happiness in the smallest things. Some people just search too hard, and miss out. Happiness is when you feel like you have hit your lowest, and you find a new reason to wake up in the morning. You can find happiness within yourself, a family member, or the person you love. Truly the most important is within yourself. Whether it is finding something you are good at, overcoming a fear, losing weight, or getting good grades. You should always be able to be happy with yourself, because at one point in your life, yourself may be all you have. Even if that is the case, just never lose hope. If someone see’s you are happy, they may want to be around you, get to know you. You never know what could happen. Happiness is so much more amazing when you get to share it with someone else. Whether it’s having your boyfriend bring you a rose and ice cream just to see you smile, or your mom bring you medicine and chocolate ice cream because you are sick. Its not very often when people get so happy they start to cry. Even if its a single tear. This could be when your boyfriend gets down on one knee and proposes, or after hours of labor when you finally get to hold your baby in your arms, or when you have been battling cancer for months to find out you’re finally in remission. Happiness could even be when you just sit there and think of your past, and you realize how far you have came in life. You may have not been happy in your past, but you know you made it through. When you know you can get through anything, no matter what cards life deals you. Happiness could even be when you have fallen apart, and someone just walks into your life. And with just a simple look, all of your pieces just fit back together. Happiness isn’t about just getting things handed to you in life. That takes away the satisfaction, and the true happiness inside of you. Happiness is working hard for something, or to do something, and when you finally accomplish it. People need to realize happiness isn’t a constant thing. Everyone is going to have hurt and pain in their life. Just no matter what it is, you need to look for some kind of good within it. Even if it is a loved one passing away, you need to remember that they are in a better place. Even if you have a bad home life. Just keep in your mind that you will never be like them. That you will strive to be everything you can be. Even if they tell you that you will accomplish nothing in life, do not believe them. Use that to your advantage. Use it as fuel to push you, and never give up. You could just imagine the happiness you would get just to see their faces, their shock. Even if you feel there is no happiness left for you, or if you don’t think you deserve it, you do. Everyone deserves some kind of happiness. No matter what has happened in your past. No matter what kind of mistakes you have made. As long as you realize what you did was wrong, or you know you made a mistake, I believe you deserve happiness. A lot of people believe happiness can just be bought. Yes, big houses, fancy cars, and everything like that is nice but it’s not true happiness. Its not about going out on big expensive dates. Its just being around the people that make you happy. This could just be laying on a merry-go-round at a park with the love of your life talking about your past and your future. People need to stop expecting so much. Yes, know what you deserve but don’t be greedy. If you stop expecting so much, you’ll find so much more happiness in even the little things. A good hint, just never forget to tell the people you love how much you appreciate them, and how happy they make you. You’ll be shocked how happy just that will make both of you, and you never know when it will be the last chance you will get to. Just keep that in mind, and stay happy. Written by: Shyann Franks
