Happiness
That thing about happiness. It’s like everything in the world is about happiness and if you are not happy you should definitely pretend to be so. Right?
Many people put up a facade of happiness with the beautiful house, kids, family, perfect lawn, big car, fancy dinners, loads of friends and fun. But are they really happy?
All I know is that every person in the world have stumbled upon unhappiness. Unhappiness often contains doubts about oneself, wanting something that someone else has or believing that oneself is incapable of achieving that what oneself would like to achieve in life.
And she takes an other step, slowly she opens the door…
Another ditch in the road, you keep moving…
Another stop sign, you keep moving on...
I know you’re gonna make it!

Take me as a solid example. For years and years I have wanted to be different, be like someone else, achieving goals I never really did want to achieve. Tried to do things the same way as everyone else; having friends, partying, trying to get the dream job (which is terrible hard when you don’t know what your dream is) and just be happy. But it just didn’t happen.
I kept feeling confused, getting hooked up on an idea for a few days just to move on to the next idea a few days later. But as time is passing, for each and every day, I see a clearer picture of where I want to end up in my life, how I want my life to look and what things I would like my life to contain. I know I am going to make it.
I am sitting by the dock writing this with soft music in my ears, a silent summer breeze in my hair and the sun touching my cheeks. People are jogging and walking by, a couple are getting married further down the dock. Time is passing and I am just sitting here embracing the moment.
Anyways, what I am trying to say here is that happiness truly is a choice. You are the only one who can make yourself truly happy, throughout your soul, fingertips and body. Just remember to belive in yourself, listen to yourself and take baby steps towards that kind of happiness that you want and deserve.
