The four-month challenge continues. Finding happiness is complicated. And I don't really think happiness is something that is in fact "found". It's not a kid hiding - waiting for you to find him. It isn't a fabled mountain lion, only seen once in a blue moon. In reality, happiness is a state of being that is reached through, from personal opinion, lots of unhappiness. When you find yourself in a constant state of awful, there is a point in your life when you acknowledge that the power to find more content and peace of mind is solely in your hands.
There are countless elements that will cause me to have a horrible day. The migraine I had during the weekend helped to put me in a sour mood. An unexpected breakout around my cheeks, chin, AND forehead is extremely unwelcome. But here I am writing, whilst having Manuka honey slathered on my face in an attempt to cure my woes, and feeling rather happy. I am not ecstatic right now. I am not laughing or feeling like the queen of the world. I am merely in my bed, rather accepting of the reality I exist in. And even more accepting of the dreams and fantasies that take me away.
