If I have learned one thing this school year, it has been to create my own happiness. This year was full of a lot of ups and downs for me. I had so many changes in my life, classes that made me cry, friend drama, dating drama; you name it. Many of these things really stressed me out, but it wasn't until my breaking point that I finally came to the realization that I create my own happiness.
About three weeks ago I broke up with my boyfriend of two years. He was really a sweet guy, but I just wasn't happy anymore staying in the relationship. It finally got to the point where some of my best friends were telling me how upset and weird I had been acting and I realized I just wasn't happy. After that, I couldn't do it anymore and I ended the relationship. I know it sounds depressing, but it was really an eye opening event for me. By breaking off a relationship I wasn't happy in I realized I could make my own happiness and I couldn't rely on other people or material things to do that for me.
So, go out and make your own happiness :) Don't depend on anyone else, but yourself to do that for you!
How did you/do you create your own happiness?
