My definition of happiness

Where can a person find happiness?
What does it feel like?
When is happiness?
WHAT is happiness?

In my point of view, happiness is everywhere if you look close enough.

Happiness is when you wake up and find a "good morning" text from your best friend.
Happiness is when your mom cooks your favorite meal.
Happiness is in every moment I spend with my girls on a girls night out.
Happiness is wherever the people you love are.
Happiness is the involuntary smile you find drawn on your face when an old crush texts you.
Happiness is when your friends call you on 12:00 AM to wish you a happy birthday.
Happiness is the state of mind when you forget all about the world and enjoy the moment.
Happiness is when someone calls you beautiful.
Happiness is in eating chocolate and not caring about the calories.
Happiness is when your friends travel all the way to attend your birthday party.
Happiness is the day you wake up and you realize that you're finally on your summer vacation.
Happiness is the first time (and every time) you travel with your best friends, parents-free.
Happiness is when someone buys you something unexpectedly.
Happiness is when you're opening your gifts not knowing what's in there.
Happiness is when your dad gives you your allowance.
Happiness is when someone tells you they trust you.
Happiness is when people envy you for your friendship.
Happiness is being proud of who you are.
Happiness is when you finish the assignment all by yourself.
Happiness is when your new profile picture gets a lot of likes.
Happiness is when you feel that there's someone who cares about you.

Happiness is everywhere, look closer, didn't find it yet?
How about this,

Ever thought about how much love is surrounding you?
That's enough to keep you happy for the rest of your life!
Your parents, your grand parents, your best friends, your friends, your family, your cousins, your dog, your cat, your god?

What made me think about this post were the past 2 days and how I spent them, I wasn't sad for one moment, one second, I was happy. I found happiness, I can see it now everywhere.
Why bother about anything else in the world when I'm surrounded by so much love?
Why find a reason to be down when there are a million right there for me to be ecstatic?

Life's too short, don't miss it on people and things that are not worth it.

"PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE" -Gregory House.

Some people think that self satisfaction is that feeling you get when you impress people around you. They keep improving their image in front of others in all the ways that are possible; new clothes, new shoes, new cars, new apartments, new houses, lots of kids, international schools, travel all the time, anything and everything that would impress the people surrounding them.

Ever thought how that could be a bad thing?
Don't you see what you're doing to yourself?

When you raise someone's expectations, you're consequently increasing their disappointment.

How could a person ever be happy by making those around him feel less?
How do you think people close to you would feel after you disappoint them by not being able to fulfill their needs because you're too busy showing off to less important people?
Why not order your priorities?

There's an old saying that goes like, Whoever grew up on something grows old on it.
It's their nature now, no one can ever change that. No matter how much it hurts no matter what you do you'll eventually have to accept them for who they are and live with it.

People don't change. They are the same the only variable that changes is how better you got know them and that's probably why you'd think they've changed. Don't try to change a person's beliefs, apart from the fact that they won't, it's their right to choose how to think and how to manage their lives.

If a person's willing to change, it's for someone else. Someone they love, someone they care for. That's the only case where there's a possibility that someone would actually agree to flip all of their beliefs and their concepts and their principles in life. It's called sacrifice. It's called compromise. It's called love.

What is it?

I feel like I'm still in the "wait for it" part. Actually no, I'm nowhere near legendary, I can't even figure out what I'm passionate about. Everyone has something; sports, singing, dancing, cooking, writing, inventing, organizing.. something! I don't.
I love reading but no it's not it. I love drawing, still not it. I love hanging out, but seriously how's that a passion. I love it when I do something and people like but that's not what I want, I'm really good at organizing parties aaaand also not it...

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I WANT, I have no idea how.

I love writing, maybe that would turn out to be that "something" someday? Who knows?
Why does it seem so easy to other people? It's like they know what they want and they're already acting upon it.
I've always wanted to be different. I know that. I also know that I'll never stop trying.
I know that I'll never give up something I really want. I know I'll be different, not freaky different, unique and you know, different. That's a lot of commas in one sentence.

My dad always told me that you have to have a plan for everything you do in your life. So first of all A PLAN.
List of things I really want to do:

1.I really want to finish my "20 things to do before 20" list which is nearly impossible since my BD is in nearly 2 weeks and I've accomplished 9/20 things, hope's still there and I'm not going to lose it.

2.I really want to get ranked in the top 20 students in my pharmacy class, still not very possible but I still have 5 semesters to go so hope is still there.

3.I really want to learn how to ride a bike.

4.I really want to take a designing course in Paris but I'm too much of coward to go there alone.

5.I really want to have a super awesome 20th BD because I'm tired of having lousy ass ones.

6.I really want to get accepted in an interview. Any interview. I've been rejected way too many times already and I think that's enough.

7.I'm really awkward when meeting new people, I really want to change that. I want them to see the me that hangs out with her friends on a weekend. Fun, sociable me. Not awkward me.

8.I want to get an MBA.

9.I really want to do a lot of charity work and make a difference in someone's life.

10. I really really want to lose weight.

I want to be successful and I want to have accomplished a lot of things and that's not going to happen by just sitting there in front of the laptop watching people posting photos of themselves on Facebook while they're going after what they really want from life.
I will change. And I am starting right now.

TO THE ROAD TO KNOW WHAT IS IT THAT I REALLY WANT...
