Happiness is a feeling that we all share. Everyone has different things that make them happy. For example, Family makes a lot of people happy. It brings joy to the hearts of millions to see a happy family. However, there are more cases than not that a family will be torn apart by one argument. It is really sad when this happens. It is definitely something that wouldn’t make a lot of people happy. But with family, you need to be proud of each other and bring joy to each other’s life. That is happiness right there.

Another type of happiness would have to be our children. This is what warms us up inside is seeing a happy child with their family. The warm heartfelt smile from a child could melt just about anyone’s heart. However, there are people out there willing to hurt their child. It really is sad but true. There are even people out there willing to hurt someone else’s child. If I could protect every child in the world I would. I can’t though, it’s physically impossible to keep every child in the world safe. I wish there was, really I do. Children are MY happiness. No I am not a pedophile. I just enjoy hanging out with kids. My ideal job would have to be a daycare teacher.

Happiness also comes to those who enjoy life. If you enjoy life then you are truly happy. Enjoying life is when you are just happy with your how your life is the way it is. Like entertainment for example would make your life enjoyable. Computers, TV, Games, etc. These things will also make your life complete. Games are good to play every now and then. Computers are good to have too. TVs we can all do without if we don’t have the money to pay for it. Computers we need because most children have school to do. Computers are an active part of school now. Everyone wants this and that typed and double spaced. Everyone wants you to go online and find this and that to research. Games are good to have cause they keep you sane. If you get bored, all you do is sleep. Sleeping all day is not good, Is it?

All you have to do is be yourself, you’ll be fine. You don’t always have to try and fit in somewhere you don’t actually fit in. Just love yourself for who you are. You don’t have to go anorexic or be bulimic. You are fine just the way you are. If you want to change yourself to fit it, I encourage you not to. However if you are doing it because you want to and it’s for yourself, go for it! Always try to change for the better, not to fit in. Cause if you fit in, you have to CONTINUE to fit in. That is something that is harder than I don’t know what. You cant fit in unless you are the perfect body size, skin color, hair features, etc. Do you really want to keep that up?

Beauty can be happiness to some people. Whether it is beauty products or shampoo, everyone has their beauty regimen. They want to look their best and not look out of sorts. Some people even have acne cream to get rid of pimples. This kind of stuff can go for all sorts of ages above 13. Anyone can come down with a pimple but only a certain age can use these products because if your too young then it could hurt you. Makeup is started from age 10 and up. So many girls keep getting younger and younger when putting on makeup. It’s abosolutely ridiculous what ages will wear makeup now a days. However on older women like my age of 25, it’s fine. Some people actually NEED it.

Also don’t be a negative person. No one likes a downer. So cheer up and be positive. Like the song “don’t worry, be happy” by Bobby McFerrin.  It is a short song, but it tells of being happy. It’s a good example don’t you think? I use to be negative a lot when I was younger. Now I’m all positive. All because I am now happy with my life. Once you find that place in your life you will be happy too. Everyone knows where they want to be in life. It’s something everyone instinctively knows. You cant help but know the difference between wanting something and not wanting something. However, the song I mentioned earlier is true. If you worry, you’ll get double the stress. You don’t need stress in your life it just causes more trouble.

I know it’s fun but also don’t spend money you don’t have. If you do this then you will be pretty good in life. Make sure all your bills are paid. This is a big one! If your bills are paid then you’ll be fine. It doesn’t matter if you have nothing left over for that end of the month trip you wanted to go on. Or for that big new flashy phone you wanted. Get what is needed first. Food also is a necessity. You need to eat and drink. So don’t worry about anything else first. Don’t go out and buy that expensive video game until you know your bills are paid and you have enough to pay for it.

So what is happiness? It is something that comes from inside of you. Everyone knows what makes them happiest. Whether it is their family, or their school. Like my second happiness is my schooling. I love it and my teachers. Everyone here is so nice, I already have 2 friends besides my father. It is easy so far to go through the assignments. I think my dad is struggling through, but I am not. I got 100% on my first math midterm, a 75% on my first reading test. And even an A on my first essay in English!

Thanks for listening to what I have to say. It was an enjoyable read I hope.
