How do YOU define happiness?

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. - Groucho Marx

Happiness is seldom talked about these days, what the heckkk?! There is so much negativity in the world today, that we seem to forget about the happiness that is so simple to achieve sometimes. Example: Twitter. Anyone who has twitter knows that most of what people say is how they hate someone, how they're stressed, how people are annoying. I can't even lie, i've had those comments too, but some people's lived revolve around negativity whether its negativity towards others or even themselves. Some people need money to be happy, some people need relationships, and some people need to be surrounded by everyone and have attention on them; honestly, happiness is whatever you make it. It sounds corny, but seriously. If singing makes you happy, then sing. If playing sports makes you happy, play them. If being corny and loud makes you happy, do it! A lot of times we restrict ourself from being happy because we worry about what people are going to think of us or how we'll be seen. Really though, what people think shouldn't affect your happiness. People aren't going to make you happy, like i said before, they're going to dissapoint you no matter what. If you don't make yourself happy and try to find happiness, who's going to make you happy? You have to live for yourself and for what you believe in, NOT live to please others'. gggiiirrrlllll (or boy...), be happpyyy ! :)
