What's Happiness?

Whats happiness? I don't know. Happiness means different things to different people. We all define what it means to be happy in our own way. There is no clear definition.

I don't understand what it is anymore to be happy. Too many things in my life have not gone the way I wanted.

Tomorrow is my anniversary, and my better half is in hospital. Three months ago, she nearly died from an infection. It will be another couple of months before she is out.

I am working as a cleaner in a factory, and I am barely making enough hours to get by. I am always trying to catch up with time. I wake up and it is gone, like the mist on a cloudy day.

I used to be making good money, until my job was outsourced. My significant other and I took vacations every year. We always went someplace different, and now were just getting by.

Looking back, I was happy back then, but now, nothing makes sense anymore.

Happiness is relative to the way we feel about things. It is relative to our expectations, and to what we want.

Its a very complicated thing to consider. Happiness is a state of mind. Nobody can tell you how to be happy. It is something you must find within yourself. Only you can define happiness.



As per the official definition of happiness; it can be defined as a mental or emotional state of well being, and can be characterized as positive, or pleasant emotions ranging from being content to an intense feeling of joy.

Happiness means different things to different people. For some people it is finding success in their career, or being healthy, and having a good relationship.

Finding happiness is up to you. Some people view it as a personal choice, and that you can control it, whatever your life circumstances are.



I don't take that view. I feel that it is something always just out of my reach; however, I am starting to understand, how I can make changes to bring it closer. Its something I need to work on. Being happy, that is.

Maybe, I am just happy, being unhappy. When your happy being unhappy, you really can't call yourself happy. Why does one want to be happy? Maybe because it just feels better. You decide for yourself, what it means to be happy. I don't know weather I am happy or unhappy. I don't know why I wrote this stupid blog. I guess I needed to express myself. The truth is I am happy for somethings in my life, but not others.
