Have you ever been happy with things, even if the situation doesn’t necessarily warrant happiness? This is where I am right now. I am in a happy place. Now, there are still things that I am going through in life that aren’t the best situations. It isn’t to say that I am optimistic about this situation, rather that it has been so much a part of me that I can now just over look it. That now, I don’t consider that when scoring my happy scale. It is almost conditional. Like, I know that being ‘happy’ might not last long. Almost as if I’m not sure if I am happy, as if I might only be counting one part of my life as why I am happy.
I seem now to be ignoring the crappy parts of my life. So, the whole crappy work thing, I can ignore that. Is that what it means to be happy? Is happiness just a state of mind? Are you happy if you want to be, and unhappy if you want to be? Is this how it works, am I just figuring it all out now?
I mean, I have heard before that dark clouds follow those who have an umbrella open. Okay, so I just made that up, but, does it make sense? If you carry an umbrella you’re asking for rain, right? What are your thoughts? Do you need to just find a happy place? Can you just have a little corner of happiness that you can go to. Can you just make everything feel better without things necessarily being great?

I believe that if you want things to be good, then you’ve got to make it good. Happiness does not come in a pretty package, it comes in all shapes and form. It is you, who decides whether to make that package worthwhile or not. If you sulk, you’ll be miserable.
So to answer your questions, you just need to find your won happy place, from there you can have something/somewhere to go to when needed. And it is possible to make things feel better without it necessarily being great – because you are the author to your every chapter in life. You get the say of who and or what makes you happy, and who doesn’t.
— if that made any sense at all??? Hmmm.. but yeah. Hopefully you get my gist of it all.. ?
