What comes to your mind when you encountered such words, "Happiness is a choice?" How would you apply it to yourself? To your current situations?
Hello there my read.cash family!π How's your Saturday? Have you achieve this day's goal/s? Let me congratulate you for that. Its renren16 here, trying to keep striving for life and get myself be back on the track. I was actually feeling tired because of last night's event. I also got a mild toothache, muscle cramps, and abdominal pain. But here I am today, trying my best to be able to produce an article. I can't stand watching my account without a new article in it, anymore. Like I said, I am trying to work on myself to get back what I used to be.
I came across a facebook post few days ago and it was also being shared in our gc (group chat) by one of my sister in this platform. As I keep reading it, I tried to apply it to myself and to my current situation and I did realized that, "yeah! I don't have any other choice but to keep going and keep fighting, for I am still given the chance to do it." My life right now is unstable. I don't have a stable job, I just spent most of my time in my room while lying down in bed, watching movies or animes, I am in bad terms with my boyfriend, "basta," I have dramatic life and I am not happy with that kind of situation. In my previous articles, I have come to share with you my personal issues, and I was kind of embarrassed for showing my weak side with you guys. Probably most of you think of me as a "Tough Woman" but with that, I just shown to you that I'm really not that kind of woman. Well, on the brighter side, it may look like a selfish kind of act, but I am very much grateful for all of your pieces of advice which encouraged me to stand back and continue fighting.
"Past can't be changed." What happens in the past should just remain in the past. Well, it maybe possible if there is a time machine, but I guess, I don't want to go back in there if I will be given chance to do so. I may be wanting to be my old self but not to the extent that I want to change what had happened days, weeks, months, or years ago. All I want is to get back my cheerful and optimistic self. And with that, I don't want to think about the past experiences, especially those that will just give me a headache and a heartache. No more dramas! "Its okay to let go and move on." It maybe hard for the first time, though.
"Opinions don't define your reality." I am not insensitive when it comes to public opinions, especially if it talks about me. Like, I always put it in mind to the point that I overthink things. When I heard something undesirable, and not pleasing, I cried over for it. Let's not go further, let my current situation be an example. I am in the hot seat! Most of the people around me are giving me a hard time. They put too much pressure on me. And I ended up hurting myself for thinking that I am purposeless and unworthy. But then, I realized that there should be a brighter tomorrow that awaits. It may sound sarcastic, but I guess I truly believe that there really is something great ahead. That this sufferings that I currently facing right now will be replace with satisfying life in the future times. I can't promise that I will just ignore what other people say to me, but I will try my best to just do what makes me happy. Because, "Judgements are not all about you."
"Overthinking will lead to sadness." Really true! Well, not just that, "your thoughts affect your mood." Applying this to myself, or even yours, overthinking really leads to sadness. It will hurt you deep down. And thinking all about negative thoughts can affect your mood. Like, when you wake up in the morning with a happy mood but then you think about a serious problem, "at kung ano-ano nalang mga negatibo ang pumapasok sa utaka mo," dun, instead of happy mood, it might change to sad or even an anxious one.
"Things always get better with time." Let me say, "in God's perfect time!" Rushing will just lead you to nothing. Its better to work for it slowly, but surely. At this age of mine, I just lately realized that, "Everyone's journey is different." I am kind of jealous with other successes but I guess, its not to late for me. And lastly, "Happiness is a Choice!" It can be found within. Without any further explanation, I know, you know what I meant to say.

For me, happiness is being contented with what you have. You will never be happy if you have jealous eyes. It will just ruin you as a person.
