i emailed her,she replied me.
am glad that she did. =)
at least someone bothered about me.
i am an invisible person,
walking around the school,
and going for lessons.
around is air and only air.
and some voices which came from humans.
some remained in my air,
some went off.
this was what she shared with me,
What Happiness Is
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren'told enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we'refrustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly behappy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our lifewill be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, whenwe get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now.
If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admitthis to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favoritequotes comes from Alfred D Souza. He said, "For a long time it hadseemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there wasalways some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first,some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacleswere my life".
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. Andtreasure it more because you shared it with someone special, specialenough to spend your time and remember that time waits for no one
So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school,until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you havekids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until youretire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Fridaynight, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, untilhome is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, untilwinter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, untilyour song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up,until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is nobetter time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Work like you don'tneedmoney, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching.
of course,
these words remained in my air.
they stayed and will stay for long.
besides,
who else will be willing to speak to me for more than 5 sentences?
i hope she recovered,
and is feeling better.
my air is dull,
and polluted.
