Just cruising
Seems like for the last few years I've been in search of true happiness, failing to realize that happiness starts within. It's been very hard to grasp that emotion and pull it towards me and never let it go. I'm physically and mentally exhausted, pushing through life with a fake smile 😃 it's getting harder to mask my true emotions. I'll survive, because I have no choice. Happy Thursday
Aw I love this so much! I’ve been struggling a lot lately and crying everyday so this means a lot! Good for you and thanks for sharing with us :).
@JoyFairySunshineListener thank you I'm glad you can relate to the post
@KranialAktivity
Life is tough.. I too don't deny it.. Earlier I used to think one day everything would be okay... It does get better only because maybe we accept it's okay to struggle. It's okay to take a rest and express true emotions irrespective of someone's reactions.
We are here with you.
@sky2Ocean20 thank you. I know we will be okay. Taking deep breaths helps a little bit
@KranialAktivity
yes, No matter how difficult it is we can go right through it. One problem will get resolved another problem arises. we can only make ourselves prepared. Personally, I don't do it alone anymore. I used to be shy to acknowledge that I am struggling but it feels like sharing sometimes lightens the burden.
@sky2Ocean20 when I first started with my anxiety I used to be shy to talk about it. I didn't want to accept it, the more I fought to not acknowledge my mental illness the more it made my life miserable. I still struggle everyday, but now I try to talk myself through the panic attack, or feeling any negative feelings.
@KranialAktivity yes happiness can't be found or bought, its inside you ❤ it's not always easy putting on the brave face, being positive, in the bad days. And it's ok to feel down, you don't always have to be positive. A healthy balance is of the both is a good start. Gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤ squeezes you tightly ❤
if you need any help in letting your inner happiness shine through just let me know, I'll try help ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 thank you so much. I really appreciate it honestly. 🙏
@KranialAktivity I hope your ok ❤
@Tinywhisper11 I'm trying to be. One step at a time. I tried to message you but I couldn't
@KranialAktivity aww sorry sweetie I don't have a listener account. But we can talk here ❤❤ hugs you tightly ❤
But you can't "never let it go" when it comes to happiness, it comes and goes just like everything else. Also, I understand that sometimes the last thing you want to do is smile. But a smile isn't always happiness. It's a gift and expression of good-will, and it comes easier if it's genuine, if it's your choice. If you feel you are forced into it, it's not the same. It brings lingering pain in place of momentary relief.
it is very tough when you’re at the place where you feel like you can no longer mask your real emotions. I feel like Way almost every day.
@KranialAktivity Is there a big difference, in your view, between happiness, and "true" happiness?
@billdan1958 I believe so. True happiness in my point of view is waking up everyday loving that you got the chance to wake up. Going through the day with a genuine smile. Being carefree about things you can't control, but acting upon the things that you can change. Finding inner peace and being comfortable with your own solitude is I how would describe true happiness. Being able to have a problem arise, & still being so positive about it. Being able to control your emotions and not having them control you.
@KranialAktivity I think it's okay to feel happiness but happiness shouldn't be the overall goal. Emotional wellness seems like a better fit so what I hear you saying is that you're ready to experience all your emotions and let them flow without judgement or anxiousness to hurry and be happy. You have permission to feel it all! :)
