H.A.P.P.I.N.E.S.S; happiness.

It's one word that has about 10 billion different meanings. If you asked 10 different people " What is happiness to you?" You would get 10 different answers i promise you. Happiness to someone could be seeing their dad for the first time since he's been in the army, or holding your daughter for the first time, successfully riding your bike without training wheels or daddy holding onto the back of the seat. Happiness could be that first instant when everything seems perfect, or laying outside on the first warm day we've had in months. Whatever happiness is to you, it is worth striving for. Everything about the word happiness makes you feel good. And why wouldn't everyone in this world not want to be completely happy?

Not everyone can reach their utmost happiness, some people have never even been happy. Sometimes people can sit around for hours upon hours just asking themselves " Why aren't i happy?" You can spend your life searching for the answer, but you will never never find it. Happiness is not hiding in somebody else, in a new car or an i pod touch, happiness is not materialistic. It comes from your soul. Happiness, in order to be felt needs to be ignited, by somebody else or by yourself.

I have been called a fake, ugly, a poser, a backstabber, and been told by some people to remain nameless that they hated me. But you know what? That doesn't matter at all. In fact, it is completely insignificant. Everybody should know that the people that call you these things aren't happy. And you can stay strong because you are the happy person in the situation. I know for a fact that i am far from fake, or ugly and i shouldn't let other peoples bad attitudes rub off on me. Ignore rude remarks and things that people carelessly throw out of their mouths to bring hurt, to bring sadness. Because in reality, these people are hurt and sad, and by putting others down, it makes them feel that much better, but really, they are still not happy. They are hiding behind masks of fear, pretending to be strong. They target you because you are happy! because you are strong. And despite the hurt they know it will cause you, it will make them feel whole.

Bullies are defined as people who put down others to make themselves feel good, feel overpowering, feel strong. But in truth, They are unhappy and the weakest of the human race. So anytime you ever cry because of something someone said that hurt you, know it isnt true, you are beautiful, you are smart, you are strong. Believe in yourselves. Because you are happy.
