Depends on you

“How does one live a happy life?” Was the burning question she asked me. I immediately stopped,whilst looking around in disbelief, hoping that a shrink’s knowledge would take over me within her counting seconds.

“Me! why ask me such a question?” I puzzlingly replied.

“Yes you! You always look so happy, the grace in your smile and the way you walk with such a style it just always seem to amaze me.”

I couldn't help but burst out in laughter, fully aware that I just had one of the finest cocktails, hoping that it would soothe yesterday’s stress away.

She looked at me with confusion and desire in her eyes as she watched me chuckle away without giving her an explanation. I just had to give her the satisfaction her mind needed and for the fun of it, this is how I responded…

First of all it’s Friday! And you’re here asking me

this complicated question.

If you truly want my foolish response, be my guess

I have the widest collection.

Happiness is a state of well-being, characterized by

emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

And in case you haven’t realized, you’re not married!

So go find a toy!

Smile and laugh like you never did, and one day life

would get tired of upsetting you.

Give without expectation and feel the fulfillment

knowing that you helped someone else’s dream come true.

Be true to yourself and know your worth,

let others appreciate you for you.

Spend time with your love ones, learn

things about them you never knew.

Pray for the ones that hurt you

even when you’re feeling blue.

Live your life like it’s your last day

on earth, you can start by trying

something new.
