If someone asks me what kind of person I want to be in the future, I would say I want to be a happy person. But what is happiness?
Happiness means different things to different people, but to me, it firstly means living life as I see fit and loving and accepting myself. Living life as I see fit could mean wearing strange clothes if I like them, or eating fattening food without worrying if I enjoy it. It’s also important to be honest with oneself and not be swayed by others’ opinions.
Secondly, happiness is also about making others happy. It could be helping someone in trouble, sending a poor child to school, or making someone laugh. Doing such things can make oneself feel happy.
Furthermore, having a place to return to when lonely is happiness. Having someone to play with when free or someone who cares when you are sick is a great happiness. For me, that is my family. Happiness is having a happy family.
Chasing love, having goals that you want to achieve, and understanding oneself well are also happiness. Having a job that you can pour your passion into, and being dedicated to it, no matter how hard it is, is true happiness.
Having a lot of money is also important. Money does make people happy. Some say money can’t buy happiness, but maybe they just don’t know where it’s sold. This is my idea of a ‘happy person.’ What kind of person do you want to be?
