What does it mean to be happy? Are you born happy or is it something you have to figure out in life? Do some people have the capacity to be more happy than other people or is happiness something that can't be measured? Recently I found myself wondering what makes me happy. Here is my list:
1) My dog
2) Spending time with my family
3) spending time with my boyfriend
4) Spending time with my friends
5) Eating food
6) Running
I say these things make me happy...and they do, but sometimes they don't. Something it's just spending time to get rid of it because I'd drive myself crazy doing nothing. Sometimes when I look back I think I may have been happier when I was younger, more carefree... but I don't really know. Sometimes a person who is really busy doing things they don't enjoy all that much can trick themselves into thinking certain things make them happy. If you work all day what you really want to be doing is hanging out at home in your pj's watching tv and going on the internet... that would make them happy. If you were unemployed and always hanging out at home in your pjs watching tv and going on the internet it wouldn't make you happy... it would make you bored. So how often are you in a moment and you think to yourself "I am so genuinely happy right now my life could not get any better"? The last time I thought that was when I was half drunk at a bar and "Only Girl" by Rihanna came on and was playing so incredibly loud I could feel the base through my entire body, I was surrounded by my friends and we just danced.. completely carefree. That was two years ago and you cannot live your life being half drunk listening to Rihanna, it doesn't look good on anybody.
