aaaaahhhh….
so i’m getting closer…
today was pretty quiet.
well i went and washed all my clothes early this morning.
i can’t wait for the day i have my own washing machine/dryer.
i will own ( x this ).
preferably living in ( x this ).
anyway after i was done with that,
i pretty much laid in bed all day.
no tv.
no music.
no news.
no blog.
just me.
i didn’t feel like doing shit.
everyone needs a time out moment.
my brain however…
naw that didn’t shut down…
i’ve been on a strong pursuit of happiness.
someone told me this recently:
“jamari you are never going to be 100% happy.
no one on this earth is 100% happy.
at all.”
i felt like it was the most pessimistic statement ive ever heard.
a side of me didn’t want to believe that,
but then i had to wonder if my idea of being happy is different than others?
maybe life is all about being content?
whatever it is,
i’m looking for it.
This is funny you posted this because I was thinking about this the other day. I felt like everytime I got happy that something happened and my happiness was denied. So I decided that happiness is a state of mind. Some times you can be happy other times just content but when you count your blessings instead of thinking about what you dont have, and what is wrong, your mood instantly changes.
Everyone doesn’t define happiness the same way. When people say, “I don’t want to ever be satisfied.” I think that is so unhealthy. If you are never satisfied, then when are you going to stop? I agree with The Man in that it is about being content.
I think you will be happy , I just think that happiness will be different than what you though it would be.
Jamari you will be happy eventually. And I am see a man, a foreign man with an accent. He’s black, but not American doe.
I think life brings different levels. As we’re reaching each level, we should be content in that level until we reach the next one. Happiness is a state of mind. You can be happy to have a home, food to eat, or family and friends. Happiness is subjective. I’m happy to be alive and live in country where virtually ANYTHING is possible. I’m happy that I have the opportunity to make my dreams come true. Love ya!
Yea, it is about being content. Your life could be worse when you really think about it. Your blessed to have made it as far as you have.
