I choose to be happy!

in #introduceyourself9 years ago (edited)

What is happiness? Is it just an emotion? Is it what you feel when you have a good life? But, do we have to have a formal definition of this amazing word?

Each of us has its own perception of what happiness is. It depends on ourselves. And I see happiness as:

Happy Me

Happiness is about freedom.

It is when I am true to myself. It's when I know what I want and how I choose to live my life.

Appreciating what nature has to offer makes me happy.

There are a lot of things that makes me happy. Watching the sun rises is one of those simple things. It is one of the best thing to start my morning. It gives me hope that it's another day, another day to live happily. Also, smelling the sea breeze and listening to the sea waves make me calm and happy in the inside.

Happiness is when you do what you love.

I love to capture photos. When I've got the chance to travel, I never miss to take photos after appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of me. It's my way of staying at the moment and preserving memories.

It is when you are with your treasured family and friends.

I am definitely happy when I am with my family and my friends.

Listening to music is happiness.

I'm a music junkie and Fall Out Boy is my favorite band. From my fave band comes my favorite song, Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes. Well, I love any Pop-rock, pop-punk, emo, OPM (Original Pilipino Music), rock songs and classical music, too. There's not a day that I'm not listening to music. It just completes my day.

Christmas is happiness.

My favorite holiday of all time, Christmas! Did you know that in the Philippines, we have the earliest Christmas? It actually starts at September.

Finally, happiness is a choice.

And I, Weng, choose to be happy!
