Define Happiness

What is happiness? Really. Do you ever stop and think about it? Is it what society made you believe it should be? In other words, is it the money, the car, and the big house? And will mariage make you happy?

Unfortunately, most people tend to hold everybody–i.e. family, friends, and their partner–but themselves responsible for their own happiness.

I, myself, think that happiness is whatever you want it to be. Whatever makes you smile or gives you true peace. For instance, yesterday, I bought myself some flowers near Saint Peter’s Church in Petion-Ville, Haiti. When I got home, I enjoyed cutting and watering them barefoot. Just like a kid. I put them in a vase that Sugar gave me a few months ago. That made me happy!

Wild and beautiful!

With that being said, whether it is just buying yourself flowers like I did, walking by the beach, reading a book, eating some ice cream, or even taking yourself out, do it. You need to unwind and let yourself go once in a while!
