2CUxD NewbieAfter the storm comes a calm.. I know how hard it all seems now, but please try to look ahead. Happiness is hard to attain when you're still focusing on all the sad clouds. Things are hard. I'll admit as much. I'm only human, and things happen to everyone. But living life will be worth it. Just find something that means something to you.
Help an old lady cross the street if you must!
Actually, probably not. We really only see that in cartoons anymore. Old ladies needing help across streets. But I've helped a few more elderly women carry groceries out to their car before. The world still believes in assisting the elderly, thank god. And you feel better for having helped someone that couldn't help themselves.
What's that you say? Old women in your town tend to hit people with umbrellas if they try to help?
Not a problem.
Let's drop down to your age level. Find someone like you. Someone who seems sad, lonely... As if they think the whole world is their enemy. Try to make friends with them. I can almost guarantee you'll feel some extent of happiness if you can just make them smile. Let them know they're not alone, and the realization may rub off on you, too.
No? The lonely boy actually wanted the whole world to be his enemy? Said some mean words and stormed off like a child?
Well.
How rude.
I guess we're done dealing with people then, now aren't we? If only for this day.
Instead, let's look for intrapersonal methods of attaining some sort of joy. There are many lovely sights in this world that are enough to bring a lot of people up when they feel at their lowest:
If you find yourself awake at some ungodly early time, and it's still dark outside, make sure to keep your eyes on the sky. I can never stop watching that beautiful sky as the sun starts to bleed in to the darkness, and changes it to lovely colors no one ever expects to see in the sky. Bright oranges, pinks and purples slowly seeping into the black night.... It is a truly beautiful sight.
Rain. I haven't seen any where I am for a very long time, but I do think it's a wonderful thing to look at when it's here. I would like to point out that running around in the rain is also a simple happiness to enjoy, though doing so puts you at quite a risk for a cold. The rain makes everything so hazy, as if the world is fading away and leaving nothing but what is immediately around you. You could be the only person in the world enjoying it, or you could be surrounded by other people equally awed by it. Thunder! Another wonderful part of it. Though frightening to some, it really is a fantastic sound. Just listen to the way it rolls through the sky.
No? Not your thing? Well alright then, smart guy. What makes you happy? And why?
