Someone once told me: "The key to happiness, is being happy. The key to being unhappy is to try and please everyone." Lately, I've been thinking about this a lot. I've always agreed with the first part. On One Tree Hill they say "happiness is a mood, not a destination". I do believe that we have control over our own mood. If you want to be happy, you won't let anything get to you, you'll fight whatever it is that's getting you down, and you'll be happy. Of course I understand that some circumstances are different, but I'm speaking generally here. Now for the latter... "the key to being unhappy is to try and please everyone". I used to think that if those around me were happy, that I would be too. Somehow, that's not the case. By trying to please everyone, you end up losing sight of what you want and your own happiness. Therefore, I've officially had an epiphany. I will no longer be pleasing everyone. I'm going to try and please those whom I truly care about and that's it. However, I refuse to compromise myself or my goals to please anyone, no matter who they are.
XXOX, J.
