Happiness Have I Found You?

Happiness have I found you?  I don’t know.

I have been a good daughter, a good sister and a good friend.  In my 32 years of existence, I have always tried not to step on someone’s shoes, tried to please everybody, did everything I could for a friend, loved and failed and then loved and failed again.  The heartache goes on and on and on.

I don’t yearn too much, just a simple life I always say.  Having my family around and friends make them even more perfect.  But who am I not to yearn for more?  Who am I not to hope that someday I would find the happiness that I have been longing for.  Who am I not to wish that I can be happy like anybody else?  Isn’t that hard to ask?  Tell me.

Funny, a friend told me just now that I look good in my new pictures. Just playing with my phone, I told her.  And then I took a look at one picture, my eyes glisten, my hair shine, my lips smile, I look thin (eventhough I am fat, hehe), but then again I said to myself, it is just a picture.  A picture that has no meaning.  Glistening eyes, does that mean I am inlove?  Shiny hair, does that mean I am inspired?  Smiling lips, does that mean I am happy?  I don’t know….all is just a big facade, an epitome of what I want to be.

So if anybody asks me if I have found that happiness yet….I hope so, i hope so, but…..only time can tell.

    what can i say? happiness comes from within, it is not entirely given by “someone” but it is deep inside you when you are content and happy with what you have and what you have accomplished. that “someone” would only add to your happiness… so be happy

    i second the motion sa sinabi nila, happiness is only a state of mind, u could be happy if u wanted to…’da someone’ is only ‘da treat’.
