Where Is My Happiness?
To what extent do you sacrifice yourself to find happiness? In relationships, I've seen the best of it and I've seen the worst of it. How can someone stay happy in a relationship that doesn't make them happy?
Are people scared to leave what they once knew? The fear of not having someone there and missing them? It's hard and I believe it is a fear. Here's a situation: this guy I know from my sister, left his wife because he wasn't happy. He left because he wasn't setting a good example for his son. The message was he was sending to his son was "stick with it, even if it doesn't make you happy." It's been a year since his divorce and he misses her. He did it because he felt it was the right decision.
Where does your happiness lie? If you aren't happy with your relationship, would you still stay because you're afraid? Would you stay because of the slings and arrows everyone would throw and shoot at you? Fear of being singled out as doing wrong and causing someone that people care for, to suffer?
It's crushing... because you felt you were happy with someone and come to a realization that you... aren't happy. The person you've been with, you loved for years... ends up being the person that holds you back.
Is it selfish to be happy? To find happiness where happiness is lost?
I have, and am seeing the pursuit of happiness and the trouble it causes to find it. Happiness is, in the beginning, hard. You go through tears and disappointments only to find on the end of it is where you're really happy. But even getting to that end, trying to go to find your happiness... the things inbetween will break you down if you're not strong and sure that happiness is at the end of that tunnel.
But at the end, is it happiness you found? Or are you back in the same situation that you once left? Or a situation that you regret?
I examine this with the situation I am faced with tonight. The tears it brings. The trouble it causes.
Are we not happy anymore that we need more that we need to try something else to find out where our happiness lies?
I am lost... not sure where it is but know I'm trying to find it aimlessly. Trying to figure out other people's happiness. Where are they and if I can help.
No need for tears... well... maybe just this once. It's been a while
