Life, Love, and the Pursuit to happiness..

Is there such a thing as happiness?
I mean what does it take to make you happy?
And how will you know that's what makes you happy?
Is there some certain kind of unwritten law that says something will make you happy?

I know that if you have a feeling of being happy then you are happy..right?
What's to say that you are really happy?
How do you know that you are really happy?
Are you just told of this wonderful feeling to know that is how you feel?
Or do you know it?

I do have point here, and it is simple...
Materialistic things won't make you happy, money won't make you happy, and a person won't make you happy.

Having all the material things in the world wouldn't make you happy...eventually it will leave you only wanting more..which means you would be greedy.

And money, although it will make your life easier, won't make you happy. Because although you can buy everything in the world..you can't buy true happiness.

And no one can make you happy...because that someone could up and leave for any reason..then you would be sad and realize you might not have been happy to start with.

Happiness, I believe comes from within. Only when you realize that it doesn't take materialistic things, or money, or people to make you happy. It takes you...and if you are happy you can share that with the world. You do after all have to love yourself before you can every truly love someone else...or even before they can be allowed to love you back

I can sit here because I do have my life, and I share that with my loves of my life...and I am truly happy because I love myself just the way I am.
