Being happy is just a matter of perspective. Happiness is a choice, your choice. Don't let negativity block your way towards happiness. Happiness is attainable, it may not be easy to achieve though, for there is always something that causes you to be sad, to doubt, to be mad, to be depressed. But there are also things that will make you happy, blessed, and thankful. You just have to look around you with eyes wide open for possibilities, for happiness can only be found inside of us, not in material things, not from the company of friends or family, and not from a lover. Happiness is being able to love yourself, accept your talents and that some things aren't just really for you, to accept who you are, where you are, what you've been through, and to be optimistic past all this. Happiness comes with self fulfillment. You don't need anyone to be happy, your happiness comes from you.
