I think that the secret to happiness is to be thankful and appreciate the little things. I like to think that I do. I love to look up at the clouds, laugh when something is funny, compliment freely, get excited easily, and smile often.
Sure, life has its ups and downs. But every single situation has a little ray of sunshine, so I think that true happieness is always possible.
Happiness isn't just joy, it's unexplainable. All that I know is that I am <3

I want to answer in a cool complicated poem that hints that my life has heartache and sorrow, but the answer is just ‘Yes. I like being alive. I like sunshine and moonshine and waking up and falling asleep and being cozy and safe and exposed and bold. I like friends and enemies and spending time with both. I like the world and every single person in it, no matter who or what they are. I like water and fire and earth and air and plasma floating out in the middle of space. I like dreaming and I like living in the moment. I like books and movies and being outside and being inside. And I like all of you, and I like myself. Yes. I’m happy.’

Happy
for a moment
right now
but it may change
as quickly
as the time
so in the long run
no
never

Happiness is a curious thing
It fluxuates
Like the ocean
Never definite
But always there
Some days the high tide consumes me
Energy and happiness
Flows through me
Some days I'm left cold and dripping on the shore
Tired after a day
Of all work and no play
Happiness is a curious thing
It bends and weaves
Through my other emotions
So I can always find little bit
In every situation
Finding happiness that lasts
Is a gift not everyone has
It is a gift that you are given
If you can find the Gift-giver
Happiness is a curious thing
It can lead you to love or steal
But only happiness that comes from Him
Is happiness that's real

Only when I'm free from flesh because
Happiness stems from spirit.
Lord Jesus- I call!
Oh Señor Jesus!
Ready to shout his name!
Dwelling in the world is
Just hard.
Everyone knows.
Sing to him! He
Understands your troubles.
Sing, I can say, because he has made me glad!
!

Jwyn and Spring Flower, those were beautiful, and I completely agree.

Generally?...Yes. But I get anxious easily and when I'm anxious I forget that I'm usually happy.
But yes.
I'm happy with where I am, even though there's stuff I'd like to fix.

Such a simple question
The answer's
"Yes,"
right?
But then I think,
No.
I'm not.
There are moments,
But I'm not happy with myself.
So
I suppose,
You're right.
It's not
In fact
A simple question.

i'd like
to think
i am,
so,
yes?
then, i guess,
yes
~
"i think, therefore, i am"
~
it's simple if you want it to be
~
we may spend our whole life, wondering, trying,
and we will always have unahppy moments,
but the trick is to appreciate, find, and create the happy moments we do get
~
it's not a simple question,
but if you overcomplicate it, sometimes things will get even more tangled
~
meet each challenge with positivity,
growth, persistence,
it's not easy (the hard truth is that it never willl be)
but if we see the good,
and if don't see it, we make it, seek it out
perhaps everything will be okay
~
nonetheless,
we are here for you;
hang in there.

This.

I think that this is just as beautiful and expressive as any poetry.
