7. What is happiness?

What is happiness?
It makes you to smile so much that your face hurts but you hide it.

Happiness is that hurt.

Today’s generation has forgotten what happiness is.
I can honestly describe what it feels like.
When you feel it seize.

We know very little.
We know only what has been taught.
We have only been taught,
What we were willing to learn.

Pumba from the lion king said that, “ when the student is ready the teacher appears”.
That’s just the way I have always understood this statement.

So… what is it?

What is happiness for me?

Happiness is when the moon is sighted for Eid.
Happiness is when my network sends me free data.
Happiness is when I sit down and play cards with my cousin.
Happiness is when my daddy acknowledges me or anything I say as good or creditable.
Happiness is when Halsey releases a new song.
Happiness is when Chrissy Constanza tweets some philosophical words.
Happiness is reciting the Qur’an.
Happiness is when Dominic Harrison help’s people make there own happiness.
Happiness is looking at my best friend.
Happiness is messaging my best friend.
Happiness is talking to my best friend.
Happiness is my best friend.
I should post this like right now because,
Happiness is my best friend smiling because of me.

Happiness is everything that makes you smile.
Happiness is everything you want.
Happiness is yours.
Happiness is mine.
Happiness belongs to everyone.

Take what is yours.
Asks for what is good ask for what cause
Happiness hurts sometimes.
But happiness is yours never abandon it.

Take it.
Embrace it.
Thank it.
Love it.

Its yours.
All yours.
Never sacrifice it for anyone.

I know what happiness is.
I know where my happiness lies.
You might not like my happiness.
But its mine happiness.

Mine if you don’t like it I’m cool with it.
My happiness may not be the same as yours.
And I hope you find yours as I have found mine.

Happiness is unbroken promises, unbroken trust, unbroken bonds, unbroken souls.
Happiness is what fills you up and makes you whole.
