Happiness is a Choice

 Hi lovelies it's been a minute, it's a few weeks to Christmas, and I know there are a lot of reasons to feel downcast at the end of the year, especially if your years wishlist hasn't remotely been accomplished. Here is your reminder happiness is a choice, darling choose it. (Read that full stop as period).

Let's start with what happiness is - it's all the memories you hoard to look back on and smile at, it's the excitement in your soul about an idea yet unfleshed, it's the pockets of laughter ear n there. Happiness is the sheepish smile you have around your lover, the joy you exhibit whilst you dance in church, that feeling when your favorite musician drops an amazing tune, the cheer from your evening rigmarole. (Do not read this full stop as period oh, it will take away from the mushiness). Feel free to add your idea of what happiness is in the comment section, my darlings.

Now people tend to think that happiness comes from achievements. Don't misinterprete this, achievements will give you a sense of satisfaction and momentary happiness but achievements are not the only things that can bring you happiness. So because you haven't gotten that contract yet, you shouldn't be happy? Because you haven't come down to 70kg yet, you should be glum? Please explain how this works, because you haven't gotten that dream car yet, you should die of heartache? Because you're still on the waiting list you should forfeit happiness?
Look here, these things will get to you, your mood will get dour, you can even decide to stay down as long as you like, it's your choice really, but my dearest I would love to give you the best option, choose to be happy.

Some people will tell you to create your happy, I'm down for that, do so if you can. If you can't, subscribe to another person's creation. Comedy skits, reels on the gram, playlists on Spotify, you get the gist of it. Whilst your achievements will go a long way to brighten your mood and alleviate whatever sufferings you have, little peaks of happiness ear n there 😊 help better your being.

Sweethearts I'm not saying you should become lackadaisical, far be it, I'm saying rather, that you shouldn't let situation make crayfish bend, make crayfish bend because e happy to bend.

If you notice there's no picture on this post, I want you to insert the image of happiness you have in your minds eye into it.
