30 Days Writing Challenge: Happiness
Talking about happiness, I think the movie Trolls can explain it better than I. It's one of the movies that I'm watching with my daughter and my nieces. Kids really like musical movies with a happy theme.
If you haven't watched it yet, here's a little background.
There is a troll tree where all trolls are living and they are the happiest creatures. One day they are discovered by the Bergens, the loneliest creatures. The Bergens got jealous of how happy the trolls are that they began eating the trolls, then they believed that they feel happy when they ate them. They locked up the troll tree so that no trolls could escape from them and they have that holiday called the Trollstice wherein the day where they eat trolls to be happy.
These are my favorite lines from the movie that I can't forget.

That is for sure and I agree with Princess Poppy there. Happiness is already within us, sometimes we just forget how it feels like when something unfortunate happens to us and sometimes we just need someone to remind us how it feels like again. Just like what happened to Branch in the movie, Princess Poppy taught him how to be happy again and when Princess Poppy needs some motivation he encourages her also.
During my darkest times, I never once thought that a child can bring me back to light. I have been despising my life and the world. I even doubted God. I was depressed for years. Every day, I'm all gray and gloomy. Nothing can make me happy anymore and I don't believe that I can still find it.
Not until I conceived, it change me overnight for the better. I start shifting my perspectives to the positive side. It's surely like what does Avril Lavigne say in her song Breakaway, "Out of the darkness and into the sun", because just one smile from her and already made my day. It's like no matter what how exhausted I am, I know how to look over the bright side and still be happy because I know that if it's for my daughter's sake, it will all be worth it in the end.
Surely we do need someone to remind us what happiness is like again if we're in this situation also but it just actually depends on how we perceive it. May it be on doing things that we like. May it is on helping others, or it can be on making others happy. Happiness can just be from anything and anywhere.
Here is Day 9!
We are still up on the challenge.
I'm having a headache now thanks to my period. I feel like my head will break at any moment and my eyes pop out. I want to write more but it hurts more when I think. The network here will add to that, too. Network companies are charging expensive fees on their mobile data but they can't give their customers the satisfaction that they want. I feel like ranting already but before that lemme end this already.
Thanks for reading!
