true happiness, monologue for the uninspired, even me... Options

[*islandgirl4eva*]

True happiness. It sounds like something you wish for while blowing out your birthday candles, or on a shooting star. Something that you say while being interviewed for a Ms. Universe Pageant. The thing is, does anyone know what true happiness is? I mean, there are people who describe certain foods as "a little slice of Heaven". Does that mean that it'll bring you true happiness? Can it be bottled and sold over-the-counter?

"Aligre, the magic happy pill".

If only. That would be great. So many people stand around and wait for someone or something to make them happy, but one must understand that the only one who can make you happy is yourself.

Sometimes that means you must suffer first. I feel like I'm in that transitional stage. As a child I was innocently happy, when all my family, friends, and toys were enough to keep the smile on my face. Now I'm at the point where school causes absolute misery (on most days) and thinking about tomorrow scares me. Hopefully, it won't be long until I can look in the mirror, smile, and be happy that it's another day. A day when I'm in control of my life and doing something good with it. I'm tired of being angry and hurt...but I just figured out that everything happens for a reason. Karma...I believe in it, without a doubt. Everyday is a struggle, and yes, it may sound so typically angsty to say that, but motivation and inspiration, they are both fleeting, yet powerful. I'll look back on this piece and keep it in mind, until I, too, find my true happiness.

I <3 this, and I can especially relate to this: "Now I'm at the point where school causes absolute misery (on most days) and thinking about tomorrow scares me."

Oooh very nice, Naomi! I, too, believe in Karma. Not only that, but I finally learned (the hard way) that happiness is not something tangible. But, I also learned that it's how you get through the obstacles in your life as well as the pure joy of just getting through it. There are times where I wish I wasn't born or where I wish I didn't have to endure such pain/sadness/anger, but after everything has passed, I become more happier. I also realized that even though nothing is perfect, things happen for a reason. I truly believe in that. Even though people go through terrible, excruciating, traumatic, or just plain bad experiences, there is still hope that things will change, that something good will happen. I believe all of that is true because even though I'm plagued with school, I try to make the most of it and I'm learning all that I can. It will help me in the future, in the long run.

Relationship-wise: After getting through a huge fight, followed by a long tearing session, I finally talk to my boyfriend about it and we try to fix whatever went wrong in the relationship. I also learned not to rush things.. Cuts in relationships will eventually heal. I've been emotionally scarred, but I'm slowly in the process of healing, as well as my boyfriend. So you see, it's the joy of getting through all the hard times that really make thinsg enjoyable. Good luck on your love life. I'm sure that you'll find "the one" soon. And he'll be a very lucky guy to have found you.
