Growing Up
I think one of the hardest things to accept in life are things that you can't really control. Sometimes, there are things that you just want to have done differently. Sometimes, you wish you were a different person altogether. But at the end of the day, happiness is really a choice. A feeling that you have to psyche yourself to get used to everyday. Happiness comes from within.
Being happy is a state of mind. Of course, it would be great if you are just subconsciously happy. But it can still be a choice. It's something that you want to get used to - a way of life one can choose to live.
I learned that this year. I tried to find happiness from outside of me. But the only way one can truly be happy, is being content with oneself. Being happy with oneself. Being confident. Being relaxed. Sometimes, we just want to "chill." And it feels good.
I think I grew up a little this year. I felt things I never felt before. Although I still fight these feelings, I now know how to control them but not too much. I learned that I can be happy without waiting for anyone's validation. I learned that maybe, if I learn to be more open and nurturing someday, I can really find that complete happiness.
For now, I just grew up a little. I can be happy. I can still be independent. I can still explore more. I can continue learning. It's part of my "growing up." 24 years, and I'm still, after all, a kid. Years from now, I hope I can call myself a "grown up."
