Joyous beams of sunshine splatter on my face as I stare at the deep blue sky. This is true happiness! I feel as if nothing on this planet of seven billion can tear me from this moment, but that is not true. Although I try to ignore it, it gnaws at me from the inside out. I know that this peace I feel will not last. Why? Because, well, I don't know! Life happens and all happiness seems to be washed away, like the sand is swept away by the relentless waves of the sea. I am plunged into a swirling vortex of sadness knowing that there will always be suffering embedded in my life. But.... Who's to say that I can never become happy? Just because bad things happen in your life doesn't mean that you have to be caught up in this vortex of despair! Happiness! What a simple but inspiring word. Your bare feet digging into the warm sand on a beach next to the most deep blue ocean you have ever seen. The smell of lavender drifting into your nose while you lay dreamily in a field engulfed by the warm sun. How wonderful! Happiness is a fantastic and exciting roller coaster that pulls us along in life. How does it make you feel?
