What is happiness to you? How about you? Who invented happiness in the first place? Why do we need it so much? Why do we chase it all our lives? How does it look to you? Does a smile make you happy?

Ask yourself all those questions and also what will you do or what are you doing to be and stay happy? But always remember you are human…

Now, let me tell you a story. There was a girl that had a dream : to grow, meet the man of her dreams, get married and soon after have 2 kids, everything will be good and they will have a house , good jobs , they will raise the kids well, practically they will have a perfect home, all you can see in the American tv films. Well, that was the dream, the reality was totally different, nothing from the dream became reality and now that little girl is wondering exactly what I’ve asked you all: what is happiness? And is she happy?

Obviously by now you all understood that the dream was mine but what you don’t know is that even though nothing came true I am happy, I don’t wish for the same things anymore but I did found happiness differently.

I found it in myself, I realised that if you/me remember to be grateful and humble, appreciate people that are there for you, regardless of what happens on a daily basis, if you appreciate the fact that you wake up in the morning, or the fact that we do have an amazing world, beautiful in fact, for all this and more, you/me have no reason to be unhappy. There you go a few reasons to appreciate life, so what if my childhood dream hasn’t come true? Shall I not be happy? Shall I feel sad, depressed? O no, that is not what anyone should do, I am sure you all have heard the saying: everything happens for a reason, well, I do believe is true. I also believe that you have to stay true to yourself and remember that happiness is everywhere you look. Don’t let normal things get in the way, don’t let social media influence your decisions, don’t get depressed for anything. Life is precious, treat your life with respect and kindness and she will always get back with rewarding results.

I’m not saying that you are not allowed to be sad, I’m not suggesting that life is always pink, what I’m saying is that you will have ups and downs and feelings of all kinds will come falling down on you, and you will have bad days for sure, I have, what I’m trying to say is: don’t forget in your sadness all the great things that are surrounding you, and be grateful for them, be thankful for what you have and don’t be sad for what you don’t.

So, what is happiness? I can only tell you what my happiness is.

My happiness starts with my mother, she’s the best person in the whole world ( yes, yes, yours too 😊, all mums are great) , than I have my sister, best sister in the whole world (don’t start 🤭) , they are my best friends, family, support, they are annoying in a good way 🤗, they can talkkkkk for whole England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 , they are mine and I love them to bits. My 3rd person of heart is my niece, she’s pure happiness, just by looking in her eyes you can see goodness and pure love, she’s special, I’m blessed. I’m grateful for having them 🙏🏻.

I’m also happy because I’m free, I’m free to chose, to love, to travel etc. I’m also happy because I have a cat and I get to cuddle and feed. I’m happy I can enjoy every moment and aspect of life: smell the flowers, swim in the ocean, enjoy the sun, go to the mountains, see a movie, drive, dance, listen to music, sharing this blog…etc

This is my happiness what is yours?

Are you happy?
