Happiness

I had the Chinese symbol meaning 'Happiness' tattooed on my leg b/c I believe that is what we should truly strive towards. I know that there are many things that get in the way of everyone's happiness but in the end it's all that really matters. It's funny because I've only had the tattoo for roughly 2 years but it feels like I've had it forever. I sometimes look at it and think back to when I got it; finding and keeping happiness was the most important thing to me then …and it still is. I just find it easier to cope with things if I'm happy; life doesn't seem so bleak. Things come together; people are nicer and it's just a better place, mentally for me to be. I wish that I could spread this already common knowledge; it could be a little bit of a reminder is all…..

How this is measured I guess depends on the individual; but for me it's a small reminder that I shouldn't take life so seriously and just be happy. Maybe things will be I want to say better; but maybe I should say different. Not different bad, but different good. Just some food for thought is all…
