2009, New Year’s Resolution: The Pursuit of Happyness

bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark

The way 2008 started for me was not bad at all!

I didn’t know how to love a living thing: a human, a bird, an animal, a tree… never had long lasting feelings or passion for the place I live, cloths I wear, music I hear. Like an angel she came into my life and taught me love. I was not ready for that feelings.

When I came to know it was the ancient true feelings I was having, she left me. She was frightened at looking to the future I could possibly give her. The future, the life was not what she dreamt for. May be I could give that life, but I didn’t want to weave that way.

Few days ago, a friend (of mine) and I meet in a cafe. Let’s name him Herbert Pocket.

Pocket: I knew she would be doing this.

I said to myself, everyone knew that! I blinked my eyes twice and tried to give him a smile.

Pocket: I really am worried about you.

Here he goes… another attempt of gluing my broken heart.

Pocket: You know wherever she is, she is doing good. You should find another girl.

I blinked my eyes few more times; tried to affirm: “I’ll”.

Days pass by and I look into myself.. deeper and deeper. What do I actually want? Happiness?

What brings Happiness?

In 2008, I lost what I never had. Everyday I pretend to be someone else keeping a fake smile all over my face. Have you ever looked into my eyes?

Yes, I want Happiness. Happiness inside me, among the people I live with. But again, what’s Happiness? Not the bank balance, not the fame, not the human relationship, not the pizza, not the society, not the dream, not the desire I posses can bring me Happiness. I’ve all these… a good amount.

I know what brings Happiness and I want to share that Happiness with you. But today I am desperate to feel it, touch it, smell it… alone.

In 2009, I’ll get what I ever had. Even so I’ll be in “The Pursuit of Happyness“.

forgive me if i misunderstood anything over here… but i would like to say 2 things over here,

1st a quote – “There are no choices. Nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask ‘Why me?’ and ‘What if?’. When you look back and see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn’t be you. It would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.” (u should know from where its taken)

2nd – i believe that everything that happens, happens for GOOD.

hopefully, u’ll find happiness soon ! Good Luck :-)

thank you all for your kind responses :)

I just found this article from one of my big bro’s tweet : http://ezinearticles.com/?id=2015102 , titled In Pursuit of Happiness By Rashin D’Angelo . See if that catches your attention!
