Understanding happiness the hurt (hard) way

-
It was around August 2018 when we found each other due to circumstances. We happened to have jived well and eventually agreed to date exclusively.

You knew, while I realized, that we were both not ready yet. We loved the process of waiting and the patience it entailed.

But as circumstances have brought us together, so has our parting.
The circumstances around me has changed and this has affected our routine.

Now we live different routines and priorities.

You're coming was my way of learning happiness and your departure left me sobbing.
It made me curl up and cry most days and not push through with work and my passion projects.

But your parting was the start of my understanding.
The understanding that happiness does not come from another person. It comes from within.

Anything in the form of happiness that come from external factors is infatuation.
It is perishable. The feeling is fleeting. If you really on such source, you never understood happiness.

Today, at the eve of valentines, I grin as I feel grateful of your wisdom and your love. Although time and energy was not a resource for us to share, I am blessed of your quick half-year stay in my world to bring back a dose of sanity, a pinch of peace, a bucket of love, and this universe coz as I have told you before, you were not my sunshine, you were my universe.

Thank you for everything. I will meet you again my universe. It may be a different human form with a different name but I promise, the next time I'll see you, I'll be better and then on, ready.


I've always thought that I am a blooming flower but you made me realize that I am about to become a butterfly and I have never been happier since then.

You don't deserve to worry

-
When was the last time you worried? What caused it? What happened after? On most cases, when you worry, it doesn't really change or improve the situation. You might have improved the situation but it was not due to our worry but of something else. D O  N O T  W O R R Y . It should not even be on your list of emotions to feel. Only those who don't have anything else to do with their life who does. The next time you worry, you are either wasting time or just evading your current truth. A C T  O N  T H E   S I T U A T I O N. Stop feeling the situation and act on it instead. Your worries will only provoke unnecessary anxiety. You deserve to be happy, so stop the worry.

Happiness overdose is bad for your health

As a popular saying goes, anything that is that is beyond its supposed consumption is bad for you. But "too much" only happens when the normal dose is determined. This is very common in medicine and leisure consumables such as alcohol. So what about happiness? Can it even be measured? HAPPINESS DOSAGE Happiness is usually described with the rush of dopamine and a mix of excitement, joy, and positive feelings happening within you. It is usually felt from things, situation, or people who make us feel better. To some this can be provided by vices or bad habits that spur a taste of dopamine rush or something similar. So what is an average dose of happiness? Just like how sweetness can only exists when bitterness is tasted every now and then, so does with happiness. You cannot be always happy without getting sad every now and then. A constant supply of what makes you happy may even cause you to be bored and have less toleration over it resulting to eventual sadness over somet...

Be thankful always

We all go through a lot of misery in this life. One moment, we find ourselves wishing of an end of these challenges or more, this life but if you can look back to how you have been, you actually have done a great job living. You may find yourself in a lower disposition than where you wished or once was but if you look at it closely, you are at your better self, that's priceless and of a value beyond money or any measure. It becomes your asset that no one can steal but you can always use as leverage. I have personally undergone a medication for 8 years for a heart ailment during my Grade school and high school years. I thought of fighting for a worthless life with all the drugs and the ill feeling and the limitations on food and activities but here I am now, working hard to provide proper employment to those who don't have enough proof or documents but has the potential and the motivation to help and work hard. I once thought that undergoing such monthly treatment at the h...
