The Happiness Challenge As many people suffer from anxiety, depression and mental illness, the Happiness Challenge is a noble reminder that there are always moments of light in our lives. You simply pick 5 pictures of happiness/light and share. Since I had been, and perhaps still going through depression, I try, and struggle to find mean to live and reason to smile, and move forward every single day, perhaps these are the reason for me at the time being. thank you Azlan Danial for the challenge, and I will explain the 5 pictures in chronological order and why I chose them ; (Ill just be a non-conformist and add in 5 more) 1. Me going to KL recently opened up doors to happiness to me ; able to present for the first time in-front of public is a step forward me overcoming my fear, of the public, of the unknown.. and perhaps they are not here, but my friends that were there with me, that accompanied and attended the talk, and even after that -- for few days I was there in KL, I realized I finally came home to a covenant of people that were so much alike to me. I am happy. (I wont mentioned their name incase they might feel uncomfortable being tagged, so I hope you guys know who you are ;) ) 2. My friends in Penang that are always there for me when I needed them, even though we might not see things eyes to eyes, or even head to head, but we all have our hearts connected. (Those who werent in the picture, you are too in my heart, Thalia, Farah, Farahdila, Haqima, Haffiz, Zafryl, Jismie, etc.). You guys know you always have a spot in my heart.. sure, theres drama sometime between us all, but we all in the end nestled up together snuggly and happily. I chose this photo because it was the most recent outing with them all. 3. Entering The One Academy and meeting my friends there of different races, religion, political spectrums and all were one of the best thing that ever happened. This picture was the last meeting all of my batch mate had together.. it was our final presentation at Paragon Mall for Paragon Mall.. the years we had gone through were crazy, but it was worth it in the end. (This photo represent all of the friends I knew from TOA, from the moment I entered till the day I left TOA). 4. My little brother, so to speak, I never met someone that I can share my political ideologies, philosophical vomits, religious confusions, mood swings, existential crisis now and then & utter random nonsense. Thank you for being there for me. 5. The Queen of my heart. I am not the easiest person to get close with, and me and my mother werent always this close before.. but thank the universe, after I finally decide to disclose myself and open up myself to her, by the blessing of the God, she is my closest confidant, my bestfriend, my protector, my lover, my everything, my mother. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Tera, and Junior, were amongst those that made me realize what happiness means too. Such beautiful souls that teaches me alot of thing about life, about love, about expectations and all. thank you! 7. My first advertising agencys families. I still feel awkward sometime, maybe I am still getting use to the working world and trying to spread my wing (and at the same time trying to overcome my own obstacle inside and outside of my mind), but being with them, they teaches me of how to overcome that obstacle, and being with them, albeit no matter how stressful job and life might be, Ill still manage to smile and carry on. 8. My biological extended family. You guys know my secret, was there when I am at my lowest, and held me up when I am at my highest, we shared our tears, giggles, angers, and all together, and I hope that it will continue till the day we drew our last breath. Ill be there for you as you were there for me. (this goes to both my mother and fathers side of the family) 9. The moment I realize that all that the world, the humans need was love. When I embrace pantheism, sufism and I let love guide me ever since. Thank you atha for being the catalyst, thank you mama for being the inspiration, and thank you universe for everything. 10. Me, and books, and arts. Enough said. :) With this I ask those who were tagged to continue the challenge :)
