Happiness.

Hello Internet Lovelies…

I am so sorry for the long wait between posts but life has been hectic at the moment and I haven’t had time to actually sit down and write for you L

So much has been going on… I finished school, I have been sitting exams and seeing friends and family… I have never been so busy!!

I hope you are all wonderful and happy.

I have been thinking about the word happiness quite a lot recently. It’s only one little word, but it has so much meaning behind it. Happiness is defined as a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. While everyone strives to be happy all the time, that is never the case in reality. In an English exam recently there was a text asking you to ask yourself whether you are happy.. During this time I wasn’t, so I began to wonder what happiness really was, and whether it was ever actually possible. Happiness is a state we are all expected to be in constantly, but I don’t believe that can ever happen. Everyone has bad days and everyone has moments where they just want the world to swallow them whole.

This year has been extremely tough for me and to be 100% honest I haven’t enjoyed it as much as I hoped I would. I have been very stressed and tired and all along was looking for happiness. But what I have now discovered is that you can’t search for happiness, it has to find you.

For the first time in what seems like months I am genuinely happy. This post could be on the verge of extremely cheesy but I just want to tell you how happy I am. It may be due to new people in my life who I love to spend time with.. It may be due to school being over and the excitement for what is to come. I’m not exactly sure what is creating my happiness but I know that it is worth fighting for. During the year I often wondered if life was really worth it.. I often lay awake just wondering if I would ever know what it felt like to be happy again. But while I felt this way I had no idea what was just around the corner.. I really do believe you just have to wait and see.

The moral of this short story is that you have to do what makes you happy. Don’t worry about what others think, ignore what people say and do what you want to. Happiness is so important to live a great life. I will not be happy forever, but right now I am, and I love it.

Take some time out to do what makes you happy, relax and enjoy what is around you. Don’t give up on things just because things are rough; because there is always light ahead.

I thought I may as well post some pictures of things I have been up to recently…
