ARE WE HAPPY OR JUST SETTLING ?

Hello all, I had to take a break because of how difficult my latest semester of school was, but i’m back WOOWOO. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty, shall we? 

Are we happy with our lives? Or are we just settling because we have nothing better? I believe that our happiness has to come from ourselves to really be truly happy. But sadly the outside world does dictate a lot of how we process our emotions. If your boss is being rude to you, your work environment for the day is going to be uncomfortable. You can’t just erase all the emotions you don’t like to feel, because you are bound to experience them eventually. We can’t fully control our lives, we have to kinda let them control us. We let our life that we were born into guide us and we use our brain like a map to avoid doing things that might get us lost, or on the wrong path. But in a life full of disappointment and insecurity, how do we cope? We choose friends and associates that we think are going to make this already difficult life easier to bear. But what happens when you start to realize that maybe you chose wrong, and the people you are surrounding yourself with are not who really want to be around? You can’t just up and leave, because you totally care for your peers, but you feel incomplete and alone. You feel like no one considers your feelings or what you have to offer. So what do you do? You dust yourself off and try to branch out. Then it turns out that the new people you met are not any better or in some cases worse. Then what? You try again, and then that falls through. It seems like you can’t catch a break. Honestly that’s the way it goes. Part of life is having to be content and or “settling” for what your life has to offer, until your life shifts into the next phase. The only thing you can do is stay positive and continue to try your best to enjoy what you have. If you are feeling down and left out of the crowd, something I like to do, is I call a family member that I know would love to hear from me - for example, my godmother or my grandma. Just to hear how excited they are to hear from me brings a smile to my face and makes dealing with feeling left out easier. Making others happy, makes me happy. What goes around, comes around, so putting out love and positive energy will come back to you in the long run. Feeling this way is not easy and there is no right answer on how to cope with the harsh truth of life. It’s something we all learn on our own individual journey. For me, writing is my way of showing vulnerability, which is something that’s very hard for me in particular. But if it’s going to help others, you know I’m always down to give out a lil advice hehe. Stay strong my cutie pies, and remember someone cares for you and it’s not always going to be this hard.  Love you all so much and happy summer
