I see how everyone is caught up in the pursuit of happiness or what makes them happy. Recently I've had time to reflect about how pursuing happiness has brought me anything but. I've spent a good bit of my life thinking that if I only had this job, this house, or this car that my life would be better or happier. I realize now how misguided this really was. All these efforts at this pursuit actually left me angry, cynical, and certainly not in any kind of peace. Instead, I am trying to find what will just simply give me a sense of peace where I am okay with where I am at. Upon further reflection on my past, I realized my happiness (and sadness for that matter) are experienced in relatively fleeting moments. I just want to find some kind of peace, an end to the inner turmoil and self-hatred that I am not where society says I should be. I want to be at peace with where I am.
