be happy for no reason

yayayyayayyayayy

Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever let myself be happy, when it’s time to, before the good times are gone!

Maybe it’s a form of insecurity, always expecting the ’’real’’ happiness, as if it were some kind of utopia sitting in my future, but always going further away as I grow older. I seem to always live my life this way, and then at times, I remember that I might be missing a lot of real happiness, in the little things of everyday.

i’m very “in the moment” so i’m always stopping & thinking about how much fun i’m having or how happy [or sad] i am at the moment. its the best feeling in the world to be aware that you’re happy or sad or angry or excited.

I saw this and it struck me because I am constantly looking forward to something, a holiday, a birthday, payday. It seems like I’m always looking forward I don’t live today, like it’s something else I have to get through to get to whatever pre-determined “great thing is”. Then crazily enough once that event comes I spend the whole time counting down until it’s done and worrying it will be over.

I never just sit and be happy. For absolutely no reason. Just because everything is good at that moment. I’m going to try today, to not look forward to stay in this moment right now.

I am always looking for a reason to be happy which means that most of the time, I’m not truly happy! I need to learn that just being able to live, should make me the happiest person on earth!!!

my dad got me to read way of the peaceful warrior and one thing that really hit home was “be happy for no reason” and i realized that i wait for things to make me happy, and i don’t want to do that
