How much do we really need to be happy (#028)
Short post in my sleep deprived state about being happy with not much.
Day events:
- Brunch for VT's birthday.
- Lots of new memories and happy times.
- Ate supper at home with my mom.
- Showed her a tour of the apartment (mama approved).
- Getting more comfortable.
Thought of the day:
If I've learned anything these past few days is that it doesn't take much to be happy.
Or actually, when you find something that truly makes you happy, nothing else matters.
I used to think that all these little things needed to add up to make me happy, but I was wrong.
By little things, I mean that every section of my life needed to be in a "happy" state in order for myself as a whole to be happy.
This actually made me rethink the meaning of life a little. Or what would be the definition of a good life.
I certainly wasn't doing much per say.
I wasn't working on my purpose, I wasn't living a lavish life, I wasn't aiming for anything. I was simply living and enjoying the moment.
This isn't to say that I'll drop everything I was doing or want to do in order to live this kind of lifestyle. Not at all. In fact, I'm looking forward to finding back a routine that'll feed into a virtuous circle.
But, these past days really helped me take a step back and ask myself "how much do I really need to be happy?"
