Life is all about phases and becoming if you ask me. Every phase in your life is mounding you into who you become in the next month, the next year and the future ahead and there’s no doubting that. Things can happen in your life and instead of holding on to it and basking in your own misery, you choose to look on the brighter brighter side and make a lemonade out of the lemons life served you. For some , it comes naturally but for others, it’s a decision that had to make at the end of the day because that was the only.
Happiness in my point of view is a state of mind and I made sure to use every opportunity I have to tell that to whoever will listen. The fact that something had happened doesn’t mean you should be sad. Well, technically you should be but would that change the outcome? Obviously not. So why not be happy for life and see things from the good side instead of choosing to burden yo ur heart with the thoughts of all the negatives? It’s the least you can do for yourself. I say happiness is a state of mind but if you to be in my life or living my life currently, I bet you this state of mind would whack you in the face cos there’s nothing funny over here. But then again, does it really matter? I learnt a long time ago that love your life takes the boring part, that means you’re on the right track and I’ve actually lived it to know there’s an iota of truth in there. I would not say my life is entirely boring but having to put in so much work all the time would at some point why exhausting and boring.
I literally just want to pack all my stuff and go back to my father’s house where I’m just a girl. But future me needs all these steps, so I choose to walk the road happily. There’s actually a lot of things that I make sure to derive joy from because I can. You need to much work to be happy honestly because with me, the little things make me happy. Friday, my dad randomly gave me a call and that made me happy. I called my sister afterwards and let’s call that double joy because why not. Being away from home for years has taught me the importance of family and the time we get to share with them. If I don’t get to spend time with them in person, I might as well make the best out of what I have.
The next thing bringing joy and sunshine in my life is doing the things I love most. There’s a lot of things I love to do and things i love to explore and just having these experiences fills my heart with joy. I don’t know about you, but for me life feels more fulfilling when I’m able to explore and experience my full potential. Lastly, the one thing I would say brings me the most joy is the journey of becoming. Everyday, I wake up and take the days as they come. Sometimes I wish my life was different but there’s no other place I want to be aside from right here. And the hope that whatever hard work in putting in would pay off soon brings me so much joy. Watching myself grow into the woman I day dreams of years ago is one to put smiles on faces and a sure make sure to leverage on that to keep pushing.
Life is a beautiful journey. Make sure to live it it, enjoy it and make the best out of it because we have only one life.
