Of Being Myself

Miss A :  “If you know my pain, could you release me from there? If sadness is part of life, why it felt like it’s has been a long time since I found happiness?”

Miss B : “Happiness is man-made, you can’t expect it to come out of the blue. Happiness is a choice. Eventhough you are in your worst days, smile for the smallest blessings God given to you. You need to find happiness, not happiness find you.”

Miss A : “I really tried to find happiness but sadness always clouded me. It covers me from finding happiness. Whenever I saw a glimpse of happiness, sadness comes and rains on me. I begin to lose hope on finding happiness again.”

Miss B : “Maybe you had misinterpret sadness. Sadness is there for a purpose. When there’s sun, there will be rain. Whenever there’s sadness, there will be happiness too. It just that you hoped so much for happiness that you forgot that sadness is necessary for happiness to come to you. Sadness never meant to cloud you, it’s there to remind you. That happiness is created, not by sitting there and wishing for it to come along your way.”

Miss A : “Thank you. I realised I have been trying to find that perfect happiness when it has been there all along. I just tried too hard to separate sadness from happiness that I lost my way to happiness. Sadness is here, but I would not like it come too close to my heart. I am so afraid that too much sadness will left me with nothingness. I am afraid of who I will become.”

Miss B : “Knowing how to control it is one step to self-heal yourself. You will be alright, I know. Never lose yourself in the hands of sadness. Never lose your own identity. And, never lose hope in happiness. It’s there for your taking.”
