Ok. Another one of my corny descriptions of something that happened today. Hope you don't mind.
So anyway, have you ever felt so happy that nothing could ever go wrong again? Sure, there are problems in everybody's lives, but sometimes you get that warm, quick feeling of pure, intense happiness. You want it to stay forever, yet it only lasts a few precious seconds. That's the way I felt today at one point, when the sun was shining on my face, and I was with my family and friends. I just felt so... relieved. I know that's a weird description, but that's how I felt. I felt so lucky. And I can't really explain why. It was just one of those odd feelings or moments.
But have you ever felt this way? I'm sure everybody has at least once in their lifetime. Whether it was so long ago or very recently, I hope everybody has experienced it. Because that's what part of our lives should made up of, is happiness. I mean, not all happiness. If we didn't have problems in our lives and there wasn't anything wrong with this messed up world, then we wouldn't be human and the world wouldn't be... well, the world, I guess.
Happiness is something we all want, I'm sure. This may sound snotty, but don't deny you have problems in your life, because everybody does. Don't be afraid to admit it. Even if some people seem like they are having the time of their lives everyday, and it seems like they have a perfect life with a loving family, friends that care about them, a home they can go to every night... deep, deep down... there is something that's going on in that persons life, too. Whether it's despair, jealousy, something that they regret very much, et cetera. My point is, everybody has a problem. Nobody likes it, but problems are life. If we didn't have problems and faults, everything would be absolutely wonderful. But there are always those movies and books where a character wishes for everything to be perfect because they think they've got a horrible life, but when everything is perfect, they realize that they already had the best life ever. You don't want anything to be too perfect.
Okay, now I'm just rambling. But I needed to get that out. Because lately, some people act like their lives need to be perfect just to fit in. They wear skinny jeans and designer brands (I'm not saying you shouldn't wear those things), they gossip about pointless things, and much more. I just feel like everybody's doing that so they can be known around school. But the truth is, you shouldn't need to do anything to get people to notice you. Some people want to get out there so badly, and others hate drawing attention to themselves. Everybody is different in their own way. But people depend so much on the outside layer of the person to know who they really are. That is what needs to be fixed in a lot of schools. This is what a lot of people say and hear, but focus what is on the inside of the person, not how they appear. Looks can be very, very deceiving. I learned that the hard way.
Okay, back to where we started, to the feeling of happiness. I used to wish my life was all happiness when I was little, though I was a very happy person. But I learned that there is a wrong kind of happiness and the right kind of happiness. I would explain it, but that would be a few more expository paragraphs I'm sure you don't want to read. Whoever reads this, I hope that you're happy with your life. :)
