I'm Choosing To Be Happy
I believe in the past few months I've been a bit vocal on how down I've been, especially since we got into this ember month but if you're new here then here's a quick summary. Something tragic had happened in my life during the year 2020, I know it was a crazy year for everyone due to covid and we lost a lot of people during that period but that wasn't it for me.
I had lost someone, someone very close to me, not because of covid but something entirely different, something I really don't want to talk about. Anyways, due to that sad event, I soon found out that I always got depressed during this time of the year and unfortunately I've come to realize that it's something I really don't have much control over so I mostly just let it happen and just try to live through it.
Well, not anymore.
I was scrolling through my WhatsApp status today and I had gone through this guy's status who is currently schooling in the UK. In the video he had posted, he had gone for a little sightseeing and one could tell from the excitement in his voice that he was having a lot of fun. This wasn't any surprise to me as I've known this guy to be someone who's particularly always happy in every video he posts.
Crazy thing is that he doesn't show his face in his videos but from the excitement in his voice, we could always tell he was having a blast. And as if to confirm my thoughts, the next status he had posted was a screenshot of his chat with someone telling him how they like the fact that he's always happy in every post he makes.
But you see, the screenshot wasn't what really caught my attention, it was the caption he had written. In his caption, he had told us of how he made the decision in the year 2017 to always be positive and happy in everything he does and how that has always worked for him. Reading that caption, it felt like he was talking to me and luckily enough, I was listening.
That is why I've decided to take charge and no longer allow myself to be controlled by these sad feelings anymore. I want to be happy and I will be happy. I know it's not really possible to be happy all the time, that's a fantasy but I plan to be happy more than being sad, if possible a 90/10 ratio will be okay.
This is what I want for myself and hopefully, it is what I will get.
You need to be happy prayzz...I understand that sometimes, the memory of the past can make us feel sad but we can continue to live that way... always stay positive and find something exciting to keep you in a happy mood
Gracias 🥳
I am so happy man and the reason is I think about everything will practically and simply and try to find the positivity. I realized that most of us choose to be unhappy. They only remind about their sorrowful moments and get pain each time. It depends on our psychology. If we don't think too much about our past sorrowful incident, then we will receive less pain.
In your case, I know you lost your mother in 2020 but feeling pain each year and get depressed is not good for you. Even your mother also don't want to see you depressed in my opinion.
