Happiness
Happiness isn’t when everything goes your way.
It’s not how well put your life is or how perfect everyone around you seems.
It isn’t just smiling at every single person that crosses your path.
To me, happiness is loving and being content with yourself. It’s how to handle yourself when things don’t go your way.
It’s when your friends don’t judge and when your parents are actually truly proud of something you do.
That’s happiness.
When you don’t just hear the music, but when the music speaks to you. It’s when you can be yourself in front of the people you love.
Happiness is that feeling in your stomach when you go down a huge hill on a back road.
It’s when you choose to help out someone in need. You’d rather make their day than spending more money on yourself.
Whatever you do, try to pay that happiness forward any chance you get;
you never know when your last chance will be.
