I have seen people who worry a lot. I used to be like that, always worrying about the things happening around me, always sad when bad things happen, feeling depressed over everything going on, but not being able to change the situation. It took me a while to realize that shit happens, things will always be happening and some of these things are not pleasant at all. If we should always look at these things we will end up being sad every single time because shit will always continue to happen.

I would say these past few months have been the most happy times in my life, not because everything is going well or because I am trouble free, but because I choose to be happy in spite of it all. Just a clue about how things have been going in my life, these past few months I have had to make really hard decisions that broke me, I have been betrayed by those I trusted, I have been hurt by even my own family, and I have lost some huge amount of money.Thinking about it now, a year ago if these things had happened I would have fallen into depression because the things happening have been really bad.
Sometimes I even wonder how I am still standing in spite of it all. But I guess the idea is just to be happy not for any reason in particular but because happiness is free. There have been times when I have cried myself to sleep in these few months, but then I wake up and choose to be around those that make me laugh to the point where all I just want to do is continue being happy. I choose to be happy not just when there is something to be happy about, in fact sometimes I look for, and think about things that would make me happy, sometimes it’s memories, and sometimes it is the little progress. Either way at the end of the day I am happy and that is all that matters.
