How to be happy

When I think back when I was a kid, I remember so many beautiful things. I can still feel the excitement when the new Harry Potter book came out, or when I got a new Lego box to play with. Or when my grandpa bought me the very first Pokémon episode on cassette, just because he loved me.  I was surrounded by so many people who loved me, who really cared. Unlike now where you have to be really good at guessing if someone is being dead honest or just playing a little game just to get an act of kindness out of you. I can still recall the kids in school being mean, but at least they where honest. If we didn’t like someone back then we wouldn’t be friendly to them in their face. So where along the way did we lose that sight of honesty? Where along the way did we become so dishonest with others and even with ourselves? It’s understandable to lie to someone to keep that particular person from being hurt, because that’s a sign we care for them. It’s not always easy to find words which are truthful, but it keeps you from being someone you’re not..

We all want to be surrounded by people who truly care about you, but for that to happen we need to be that for other people first, and experience how you can truly make someone happy.
