Well, I was thinking today
I think, that a lot of people are unhappy because they assume that their lives are supposed to default to happiness. Like, that they're wntitled to happiness.
I don't think that's true...Its kind of obvious when you look at the world, that everything is set up to make you UNHAPPY. That is actually the default.
And I think that happiness is a privelege. Happiness...doesn't just come to you, and its not your right to have it. I think that you 1. Have to REALLY, TRULY, want happiness, and 2. You have to work towards it. Both of those things.
There's so many people who just whine about not being happy, and say "I wish I was happy" but they don't do anything but be sad about it.
Me, well...I feel very lucky that I realized this. I used to be a very sad person, yes. I'll even admit to that. But the thing is...I just realized, there's no point in being like that. Sadness just gets in the way of happiness, and its a waste of time. Like, I still will get sad over things (like a breakup for example), but then something inside me picks me up and tells me to go on, and while the thing still kinda makes me sad, I can look past it, and see the truth of the matter.
I'm a pretty optimistic person.
Actually, I had a lot of stuff to say but I totally forgot it =(
So I'll go now.
