It's your choice!
No matter how happy I am, how much I laugh each day, or how many times you see me smile. There is still some sort of pain that cripples my heart. It weakens my soul—making me unable to even think properly. But wait, how would you even know that you are sad? Do you just feel the sadness and you automatically feel the misery? Of course not. Based on my own experience, it begins when you've gone away from the norm- when you don't act normally anymore. I couldn't eat well, I am disoriented with everything I do. I can't make good judgments anymore. I feel gloomy even when it's sunny. But the worst thing that happened was, I felt a pinch on my heart, my body felt so numb, my eyes felt heavy.. I started to take in heavy breaths and whispered to myself that "I am okay." But there's still this heavy feeling, as if a boulder was on top of my chest. Someone asked me if I was okay... the moment the word "okay" reached my ears, tears started streaming down my face. I tried stopping it but it seemed like there was no way to halt this. It felt like I exploded— something similar to a balloon popped by the sharpest needle. That was when I realized what real sadness was. It's an inevitable feeling. And with that, I also learned something else, something more important. It was the ability of a person to decide.
We get to decide whether what to feel or whether what to perceive, anything else. We're solely responsible of our own feelings. You can't just let sadness overcome you and weaken your soul. Thus, choosing happiness is definitely the best decision one can ever make. You have the choice to be either sad or happy. Don't let anything or anyone keep away the twinkles of your eyes or the smile on your face. Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.
And today... everyday, I choose and will always choose happiness.
How about you, what did you choose?
