What's the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning ??

is it him ?
is it her ?
is it this,
or is it that ?
is it them ?

your boyfriend ?
your girlfriend ?
your hardships,
or your obstacles ?
your friends ?

what does any of this mean in the end ?

are these things that are a reason, or a result of your happiness ?

OR

are you just one of those people that are happy reguardless ?

no matter how much s***,
no matter how many risks .

it doesn't matter to you, does it ?

okay, now let's talk about those people who wouldn't be so happy about this .

happy people realized that life goes on, but thats the point that others obviously missed .

here's something i don't get ..

why dwell on something that will pass by so quickly ?

is it that you can't resist ?

i mean, i can honestly say, everyday i used to think about the bad things in life ..

soo only if you insist..

continue to do that .

but to be a happy person, you have to learn how to live life, and never back track .

that is, if happiness is something you lack.

then again.. how do you become happy ?

what makes you happy ?

what makes you sad ?

what makes you cry ?

what makes you mad ?

what disappoints you ?

better yet, what does it take TO disappoint you ?

think about these questions..

and then.. you tell me..

cause,

i dont know either .
