We all say that we want to be happy - but what does that mean?
Some people need money to be happy. Loads of it. They need to be able to mash about in the stuff and throw it around and buy things. I guess we all like a bit of money. But I don't think that it makes me happy. I work for a living. I work part time. I guess if I needed money to be happy I'd work all the hours that God sends and keep my bank statements in frames. Nope, I don't need money to be happy.
Some people need friends to be happy. They need to surround themselves with people all the time. They want to be the life and soul of the party. They live their lives through a mirror, always wondering what other people are thinking about them, always trying to get themselves more friends. Personally, I'm trying to cut back on my associates. I have two or three real friends and my family and they keep me happy enough. I guess I don't need a lot of friends to be happy.
Some people need to be loved to be happy. Not just the love of their friends and family, but that extra passionate love that grew out of the movies and into our lives. They live their lives walking on egg shells or burning hot coals. Sounds mighty tiring to me. (Sounds a bit bipolar lets be fair). I like my love to be simple and heartfelt and unconditional.
So what makes me happy....medication, exercise, sleep, good food, good music and, most importantly, acceptance of myself. And I wish you the same.
