Happiness, for me personally, is a roller coaster ride. I am a generally happy person, but I can't be happy 24/7. No one is. Life is a cycle. There are times when I'm happy, times when I'm miserable. There are times when I laugh like a hyena, and times when I cry my heart out. There are times when I feel like I can live forever, but there are times when I feel like putting an end to it all. There are times when I'm in love with everyone, and there are times when I shut out the rest of the world. Sometimes I love my life, sometimes I hate it.
The important thing is to find balance. The secret to being happy, I've learned, is self-acceptance. I've learned that it's ok to be sad or be angry or be miserable sometimes. It's what makes us human. I've learned that I don't always have to listen to other people's opinions on how I should live my life. I've learned that it's perfectly ok to be sad or miserable even when others tell me I should be happy.
I've learned to accept my dark side, as well as the good. The darkness that sometimes envelops me...is part of who I am.
And this is what makes me happy: that I've finally accepted me...the good, the bad, the ugly...warts and all.
