Joy Ride.
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." ~Dr. Suess
Even though I have gone through some what of a rough year or two, I can honestly say I know what happiness is. I have experianced all kinds of happiness. I know what it feels like. Being surrounded by true people. And true friends. And knowing that you can love. And knowing you are loved. Even if it may not be in the way you want, you are loved. I think thats one ingredient in life that people need to be happy. There is no substitute. Just to understand the fact that love is real. Thats what lifes about. Surrounding yourself with people who love you, and who make you genuinely happy. Even though people make mistakes, or change their mind. But who's to say that they're wrong? That they're feeling the wrong feelings? Is that even possible? To feel the wrong feelings? I don't believe so. No matter how upset you may become over another persons' actions or choices, and that's okay to do so, just know that even though you don't agree with their choices, just know that they're just trying to make themselves happy as well. The same as you. And you cannot be upset with them for that. No matter how upset you may get or how much anger you feel, remember that this is life. Life is a roller coaster. It can be scary, with it's ups and downs, and backwards and the loop-de-loops, but if you focus on the fact that everything is going to be all right, you'll realize that it's meant to be a joy ride.
