How happy are you

Happiness is a word that can get thrown around I suppose, she wonders, or he, tho what really is it?

Is it Sasifaction with your job? Your significant other? Being single? Maybe simply just being alive… 😌

Well, maybe all of the above. There are so so so many articles and even events to journals and books that aim to assist you to get to this state of happy however fleeting it may be. However, I am here to confirm that its always up to you. I can tell you honestly that I am NOT happy ALL the time, and that is OK. Truth from my own head, its impossible to be happy all the time and that leaves out so many of the undesirable emotions that make you wanna listen to that sad girl playlist on Spotify to let it all out. If you have even seen the movie vanilla sky with Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz maybe you’re familiar with the quite from Jason Lee, the sad friend, ” Cause without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain’t as sweet.” Now, that’s straight outta the movie, my head like to quote it as in order to know the sweet you gotta taste the bitter.

Ah yes, the beautiful journey of self discovery and experience…if you think about it tho its true. How can one appreciate any type of emotion, yea all of em, the good, the bad, and the ugly without reference points? How do you know that the water is hot or cold before getting into the shower? You reach out and touch it! As humans on this quest for truth or whatever it is you are searching for we all have certain moments that we take references from and the beauty of the journey is that the more time you spend living you acquire this thing some people call wisdom.

It is ok not to be happy all the time and to feel like things are overwhelming, you must be ambitious if that is that case. Everything is temporary, and as long as you keep striving eventually you won’t just be keeping your head about the water you will be on that boat or kayak moving through the ocean.
