This list is non-exhaustive.
There are so many reasons to be happy but we often choose to focus on the things that make us bitter. I understand, and I am guilty of it as well. I cry and let myself be sad but then I pick myself back up. It is all in our perception of things, it's all in your mind. Take time to marvel at the good things. Read books. Meditate. You need to realise that the way you are feeling now will not be permanent (bad or good). Nothing is ever too late or too soon, it is when it is supposed to be. Everything happens for a good reason, either a blessing or a lesson. We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have. Look around you, what makes you happy?
Be happy, be contented, be accepting, be understanding, love will save your soul.
(By the way, I apologise that my past few blog posts were copied-and-pasted-no-brainers hahaha)
