Happiness

Hello, 

Happiness. What do you think of when you see that word? I think of hugging all of my friends because they're the ones who make me the happiest. And hugging them always makes me feel safe and secure. Family time also makes me happy, when thinks are going wrong I think back to when we were in Florida and we were all happy. I hold onto those little memories. 

You should do what makes you happy. Sure, obviously, you put others first sometimes, it's a natural thing. To think of others before you think of yourself but sometimes you just need to relax and have some me time. When you've had a hard day, what do you do? I normally talk to my friends for an hour or so and then kick back in bed with hot chocolate and my favourite movies. 

Happiness is such a strong word. It's a word with a wide-range of meanings. Happiness is what you make it to be. It's what you feel inside of you. When you can't help but smile. When you feel a little spark inside of you that you call happiness. Happiness is what you make it out to be. You have to make it yourself. When you're down because you feel like all of your happiness has escaped you, just remember this, without the bad times there wouldn't be any happy times. 

Stand up, go and look at your reflection in the mirror. Smile. Smile because you.are.beautiful. You are beautiful inside and out. Smile because you're alive and because you have a pleasant life. Smile because you are loved. Even if you don't think you are then you are loved by so many people. You're fucking beautiful and wonderful. Happiness really is what you make it out to be. There is no right or wrong answer to the question 'What is happiness?' You just have to find it. 

Hold onto the things that make you happy. Hold onto those tight hugs, the smiles when you greet your friends. Those family moments that make you happy, those holidays. Hold onto the hot chocolates in the winter and the sitting by the fire in warm pyjamas and fluffy socks. Hold onto the simple colour change in the leaves and the people that make you feel special. Hold onto that little spark inside of you that tells you, 'you're happy' Hold on. Hold onto your life because, even though it may not seem it, it's the most precious thing to you. You're amazing and you're beautiful. You can make it. Hold onto that little thing called happiness.

Hold onto your happiness,
