Finding Hapiness

Life can be hard sometimes. Sometimes you feel like giving up comepletely and letting the world fend for itself.
But we couldn't do that. Deep inside of us, we think that, and a little voice in our head says, 'but you are still needed.'
You know this is true, and so, no matter how unwillingly, you try to keep going.
Feeling downcast every now and then is normal.
But we have to find a way to become normal again when these things happen.
This fix is happiness. But how to find it?
Happiness stems from places where love resides.
It can be a friend or family member, a beautiful sunset, a fun task, a good meal, a simple smile.
 For me, happiness is found in places where I see beauty, and kindness, and love. It is mainly in my family, my handful of friends, the teachers in the schools, a kind act, music, writing, hugs from loved ones, and knowing that I am loved and being able to return that love.
Hapiness is not neccessarily easy. It can require work. A lot of work.
When you feel depressed... it is as though there is nothing in the world that understands you. It feels empty in the depths of your soul. You may feel worthless, unloved, unworthy, hated, misunderstood, and angry, along with every other bad feeling known to us.
But we are not alone. Someone, somehwhere, really does love us. We must acknowledge this.
Because we, as humans, can be very weak. There is nothing wrong with this... as long as we also know how to be strong.
Everyone is strong in one way or another. We rarely realise it, but we are all strong in at least one thing.
You may be a good listener, you may be good at handling tough situations. Maybe you have talents in woodworking,or aren't afraid of heights.
I mean, you can be good at blowing your nose.
If that's your strength, all the better for you. No snot will dare try to congest you.
My point is, you have to look at the bright side of every situation. We are all loved. We are all talented. We are all worthwhile in one way or another. And life is beautiful, just as long as you are willing to find the beauty in it.
