Are you pleased?
Were you glad?
Will you be pleased?
How do you become happy?
Ask yourself;
What makes you happy?
Keep it closer.
Do you think happiness matters?
Do you think happiness exits?
Oh, I think it does.
Yes, it exists.
And it's real.
It's normal.
peace too.
Be one of those who keep themselves happy.
Be one of those who don't allow stress to destroy them.
Be one of those who ignore matters of the world.
It's a matter of wisdom.
Be brave,
Learn how to tackle difficulties.
Learn
how to let heavy things go.
In that manner, you can understand what happiness is.
Surround yourself with people who make you happy.
Keep yourself busy with activities that make you happy.
Some people may bring light and peace into your life.
Happiness may be your daily bread.

The Longest Minute
A minute. Sixty seconds to say goodbye. That’s all the time that I had left with him as the needle slid into his leg. I stared into his drooping eyes, looked at the blood-tainted saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. They said that this was the best thing that we could do for him, a last kind act for a best friend…but if that were the case, then why did my heart feel so heavy?
