Happiness
Question:When where you last happy?
Recent events have made me ponder,
I am basically a
lucky jammy shit who always lands on my feet, no matter what is thrown at me I
always seem to just bounce up and carry on regardless, this makes me think, am I
lucky? or am I happy?, or am I as I believe just able to see the positive and
ignore the negative.
Either way being happy is clearly not a simple issue, money,
possession, relationships all help but sometimes the saddest people have the
most stuff, I admit I have too much, I feel I could without any issues have
allot less stuff, money, and possessions so let’s ignore them as I really don’t
think they are even a little bit important in the quest of happiness.
So if it’s not money or owning every dam thing there
is, is it work? In my case no, work, since I became moderately successful had
only become less and less fun, more rewarding sometimes but certainly less fun,
when I was a YTS apprentice on shit money and doing all the crap jobs no-one
else wanted to concern themselves with I was happier in work than any
subsequent promotion and pay increase.
So were left with relationships, does being happy mean
you need to be in a relationship? I am once again left thinking no, as I have
been happy in and out of relationships, casual sex with varied partners can be
just as much fun as a lasting built relationship, but I hear you cry
relationships are more than just sex, and yes I would agree, but I guarantee
the first thing to go in a failing relationship is the humping, once that’s
started to become a chore or even stops altogether then What you got?, the IKEA
Fight? The silent meal out? where all you talk about is the menu and what
you’re both having, that is not for me
So to be so bold as to answer my own question, when was
I last happy? I would say thankfully I have never been anything less than
happy, I start happy and try to always keep it that way, time does its best to
slow me down make me realise I am no longer a young man able to take on the world,
but no matter what comes my way, I refuse to believe that I am being persecuted
or being picked on ,I think I am lucky to not lack confidence but even the shy
should believe in themselves and what they do, if you no longer love your
partner? Dump them move on, don’t stay because you’re lazy or don’t want to
risk being alone, if you hate your job? Train improve learn and move on, if you
think you need a bigger house or a better holiday to be happy? then you’re an
idiot and I can’t help you, but if you believe in yourself and accept yourself
as you are then you will be happy and prosper. Always remember we aren’t here
long so why ruin it with wasting time and energy on things that make you sad,
peace out dear reader hope you don’t think me to frivolous
