We are all on the pursuit.

hap·pi·ness

ˈhapēnəs/

noun

1. the state of being happy.
2.      "she struggled to find happiness in her life"

Happiness. We all long for this. If we cannot find it in ourselves, we look for it somewhere else. Some try to find it in materialistic things. Some in a lover. But it is at the end of the day when you go to bed by yourself when you know if you are truly happy or not. We may go throughout the day smiling and laughing, and that does not mean you are necessarily putting up a front, but that does not exactly mean you are happy either. Or maybe you are. It may seem so simple. Either you are happy, or you are not. But somehow life is just so much more complicated than that. How do you know when you are truly happy? When you finally find your lifelong passion? When you find the person whom you know you are going to spend the rest of your life with? I do not know myself. I would like to think it begins when you find yourself. When you can find it in yourself to accept all of your failures and weaknesses. Then, I believe, you can truly be happy.
