Happiness lays in the little moments of joy that life offers us. Happiness lays in the freedom to enjoy those moments without the fear that something bad is going to happen if we do. And who can give us that freedom if not ourselves?

Happiness is scary. The fact that it might end is scary and listening to the voices in our heads telling us to be careful seems the most sensible thing to do. But the truth is that if we don’t allow ourselves to dive into those moments of joy because we are too focused on the possibility of disillusion, we are not living.

We must embrace happiness. We must listen to our feelings and shut the voices inside our heads. We must follow our hearts and trust they won’t betray us. It’s the only way to be alive.
