Shake it off

Ever since my father departed for heaven,i've been lost.
True,no one can blame me though.
As far as everyone knows,i've been a tough nut all through the way.
No,it isn't easy. Yes,i'm doing my best.

No one stated that 'Life would be a bitch.'
How unfortunate. If only it came with a structured,specific user manual,how delighted would we all have been.
Yes,uncertain events,when happy,are pretty much appreciated.
But we're forgetting something.
The equation of happiness lies within.
Life apparently,isn't "Right" without something bad happening.
And if we oft see,we find that most of the good things are just an illusion.
Reason being,we base our lives too much on unmeaningful problems.
We base our lives on meaningless,pointless drama.
You know for all of us,our bad days usually involve not coming first,not getting the promotion,the girl/boy says no,she stopped talking to you,etc.
Sure,these are problems.
But we're limiting it to ourselves aren't we.

We need to realize that there are dozens of people out there who have not even a fraction of what you take for granted.
People out there struggle for their daily meals,and here we waste our food.
We complain about how soft this sweater should be,and people out there are lying out in the cold,with barely any clothes on.
See how bad that is?


Believing in the skies,looking up for answers,praying to a particular deity,all seem to have lost their meaning ever since. 
How would you feel if someone you looked upto,was snatched right away from you. With the very high possibility of never seeing them again.
Sad,huh?
 Yes,i feel cheated ,betrayed and harmed.
But today,as i look upon my life,i feel comforted.

The grief and sorrow for the loss of my father,may never go. 
It may be sidetracked,but a part of me will always want him back.
But i look today and see,that i still have a parent,a gorgeous house,loving friends,and everything one could ask for.
And i appreciate it,cuz someone else out there may be going through the same,but may not be provided the same comfort.

So i've learned that,
It isn't the Problem that's the reason for your unhappiness.
It's the way you perceive it.
Problems are always bad. But if you take something and try to turn it into good,you're sparing yourself the torture of being unhappy.
Start by killing your negativity,and see the positives in every situation.
If you allow happiness into your life,only then would it try to comfort you.

And believe me,if i can say this after i've lost my dad,then it probably is true.
For me to be going through all that i am,and still trying to live my life,then yes,it's probably true.

So go,spare yourself the torture and make yourself happy! xx
