I feel like people get lost thinking about happiness being a destination they have to reach. We spend so much of our time thinking that "someday" we'll be happy. A person, a car, a job...people and things do not define our happiness. Happiness is a mood. It's a choice. It's a condition. It's not a destination. It is no different than being tired or hungry. Happiness will come and go with life. And, that's okay. We are human. We are not perfect. Happy people have negative thoughts, too. I and I alone am responsible for my happiness not you. My silence means I choose me.
