What does being happy mean?
This morning, I didn\'t want to get out of bed and start my day
I was mostly irritated by the idea of traveling for two hours to get to work
But I made it a habit to push through those feelings
And make myself comfortable by just doing my normal morning routine, waking up and trying to find positivity before I get to work
I listened to my favorite songs on the train
I watched how the sun slowly appeared
And enjoyed cycling instead of going by bus
I started setting up my workspace at work and started connecting with the people around me
And there it was: I fell into a flow of working from a connected and positive mental space.
I got some compliments from my colleagues and mostly enjoyed learning about and experiencing office life
On my way back home, I remembered how I felt in the morning
And noticed how happy and accomplished, lucky and grateful I felt at this moment
I was happy to go home and enjoy some free time
But this feeling made my day
And it made me realize that happiness doesn\'t exist
It\'s not that I woke up happy this morning
I just made myself happy
For the sake of me
