Happiness can mean so many different things to so many different people. It could be something as small as getting to choice a toy after getting your blood drawn, your wedding day, your children being born, the feeling of falling in love, your first kiss, finding out you are pregnant, someone smiling at you, or just simply hearing something that you needed to hear at the right moment. Happiness to me is the undeniable feeling of knowing that you are in love with someone, when someone knows you need a hug or someone to talk to and they put everything that has happened in the past to just be with you, someone who knows and shows interest in your life, and puts your needs before their own-I mean, I am a little in love with the movie Frozen and I do have basically the whole thing memorized because kids go crazy for that show- so to quote Olaf, love and happiness is putting someones needs before your own, no matter what the situation is. Another thing that is happiness to me is forgiveness...which is probably the hardest thing for anyone to have to do....But I feel like it is worth it. Happiness is memories that you will never forget with people who mean everything to you. To me, happiness is also dancing and that feeling of letting go-recently, on a total limb, I tried out for SLCC's dance company, literally I decided the night before that I was going to try out. Clearly, I didn't make it because I would be shouting from the mountain tops of excitement, but the instructor told me that I was really amazing and just gave me a list of three things to "brush up on" and told me to try out again and I basically was guaranteed a spot....I was pretty damn proud because I haven't really danced in over a year. So I mean, if that isn't happiness I don't know what is.
So...just ask yourself on this fine night, what is happiness to you??
