Happiness

It's crazy how in our desperate attempts to fill a void that someone else caused by walking out of our lives, we lose ourselves. . .

At least, I know that I did. We turn to sex, drugs, or (pick your poison) in search of this happiness that in all honesty, we can only find from within. The reason why so many of us aren't happy isn't solely because we're with someone we should have let go a long time ago. . . or solely because our "friends" are shady. The real reason we aren't happy is because we've lost ourselves.

That void that I mentioned above shouldn't be filled by another human being, but instead with yourself and what you're passionate about. Fill it with poetry, fill it with music, fill it with your higher power.

Remember not to be foolish and fill it with a person who can walk out of your life, just as easily as they walked in. As soon as another person completes you, or makes you happy. . . you're in trouble. From that point on they have total control over your emotions. Yes, they can make you happy; however, because of this they can also make you other emotions. Angry, envious, depressed, suicidal. You name it.

In order to be happy, you must search from within. Then, and only then, can you truly live a life filled with joy.
