Romans & histoires Do What Makes You Happy

Lagi na lang akong naiiwang luhaan. Halos araw-araw na nga ako umiiyak at nasasaktan. At ngayong gusto ko magsaya kahit sandali naudlot pa dahil nasasaktan na naman ako. Hindi ba ako pwedeng maging masaya? I am not allowed to be happy? Kahit konting panahon lang na maging masaya ako. Please naman nagmamakaawa ako sa 'yo. Pwede bang bigyan mo ako kahit isang araw lang para magsaya?

Kaya napabuntong-hininga nalang ako. Natawa pa ako dahil mukhang para sa akin yata ang kantang ito na kasunod na tugtog... What I got to do to make you love me? What I got to do to make you care? What do I do when lightning strikes me? And I wake to find that you're not there? What I got to do to make you want me? What I got to do to be heard? What do I say when it's all over?

Humingi ako ng tulong sa kaniya na tandaan niya lahat kasi baka hindi ko matandaan ang lahat nang sinabi nitong doctor ko. “And most importantly, find hobbies that make you happy.” Napakunot ang noo ko. “Hobbies?” tanong ko pa tuloy. “Yes. Painting, reading, cooking, listening to music, traveling, photography, writing. Anything that stimulates your brain in a positive way.” Na-gets ko na agad. Mukhang marami-rami akong paglalibangan nitong mga susunod na araw. “Your brain rebuilds connections through meaningful experiences. Creating new memories often helps recover old ones.”

"Ayos lang ba kung bubuksan ko ang radyo?" Saglit itong sumulyap sa akin. Tumango ito ngunit halata sa mga mata niya na hindi siya kumbinsido sa sinabi ko. Hinayaan ko na lang 'yon at binuksan na lang ang radyo para sa gano'n ay matuon sa musika ang atensyon ko. What does it mean to be happy? It’s such a simple word I want you to stay with me It sounds a pretty world

“Yes. Para alam niyang, hello, hindi ako kaaway. I’m for whatever will make you happy.” “And do you know what will make me happy?” anitong naupo sa couch at hinila siya sa kandungan nito. Isinampay niya ang dalawang braso sa balikat nito. “Me?” “Yes. You.” Humawak si Adam sa baywang niya. “Being with you, marrying you, making you happy too . . .” “I doubt na magugustuhan ni Mama Violet kung ako ang magsasabi niyan.”

Pakiramdam niya'y hinihiwa ang puso niya. Umiling si Caroline. "No, choosing your happiness is not selfishness, it's something you deserve. Hindi ka madamot kung pipiliin mong sumaya at kung wala ka namang tinatapakang ibang tao." "Paano kung habang masaya ako, may nasasaktan?"

Siya ang pinakamagandang halimbawa ng kapayapaan. "Kung ganoon ay, Maligayang Kaarawan!" Malakas niyang sigaw. Napatakip tuloy ako sa tenga ko. Gusto kong matawa dahil sa ginawa niya pero paano ba maging maligaya? How to be happy in your own birthday. Ten years ago, kinalimutan ko ang araw na 'to.

I didn’t know where this would lead me, but for the first time, it felt right to open up and just let myself speak freely. "Money makes things convenient to people and I won't lie that money has never given me happiness before... but for some reason, I seek more. More meaningful things. Things that last and don't fade over time. Those things... are the hardest to find in the life I've grown up to."

"Bakit? Natamaan ka ba?" "Sort of.Yeah you're right,I almost have everything.But sometimes, I ask my self the same question that you're asking me.Am I really happy? The are times that I'm really exhausted because of work and it feels like hanggang kailan? Hanggang kailan lahat ng sakripisyo na ginagawa kong 'to? It feels like there's something missing.Like-- I'm not totally contented." "Money will make you powerful but you can't by happiness that you really need."He uttered.
