A Friendly Reminder That Life Is Good

Life can be difficult and draining most of the time. But we cannot argue that beyond that mountain of negativity lies the senseful feeling of happiness. Though some do not experience happiness frequently, there are times when you feel like everything is in place and you can't help but think that life is good. I live for those moments. The happy moments that do not need to be described. I live for those moments, the sudden and quick moment when your worries fade, leaving you floating in a complete state of euphoria, where stress, sorrow, anxiety and life problems seem to be far far away. Yesterday, I was taking a walk around my neighbourhood with my family and friends. It was a typical day, though the sky was a bit clearer. I suddenly felt this surge of happiness. Seeing all the people I deeply care about smiling, laughing and enjoying the moment. I live for those moments. They remind me to appreciate life because there is a light at the end of every tunnel, you might just be crossing a very long tunnel.

Understanding that we often do not need to look far to find true happiness. The purest joy and love reside within a few feet of you. As much as life can suck, we have to remind ourselves of the happy days. Even if it was a split second of happiness that you felt, it should still be treasured. That split second of happiness is a glimpse at what life can offer. We don’t need to constantly be sad. Although it is not a choice and some things are just out of our control, we should learn to appreciate the simple things in life because we often forget how much joy they can bring us. Go watch a sunset, look at the rain fall to the ground, enjoy the sound of birds chirping in the morning and the sound of crickets at night.

Life is full of difficult challenges, leading us to often see the world through a negative lens. However, pessimism can blind us from the bliss that lies in front of our eyes. It is only when you start looking for those simple joyful moments that you will find them. They are precious moments, treasure them.
