apr!l almost decidely the goal of life.....but i think more often than not, people forget that.....or else it sounds cliche and overdone...but it's not, because it's really what we're all searching for despite what we may think. cuz i know that i am seeking to find.....and i know other kids who are too...and i think we're on our way to that sparkling summit called self-actualization. and i can't wait to get there. 000218

divine orchid Never will truly be found

Disappeared without so much as a sound

Her feelings have been twisted and bound

The millions that she used to astound

MollyGoLightly that particular firecracker was called Happiness. it came in a pink package. it cost twenty-five cents. we spent forty dollars on fire crackers.

we set Happiness off at 2 a.m. Happiness shrieked something awful and sparked into the tree. i covered my ears. i heard a neighbor's door slam.

we'll be getting a few phone calls in the morning, no doubt.

silvre at times when it's far away, happiness seems incomprehensible. it almost seems unreal. but when you have it, there's nothing else in the world (a little like love). i guess it's a positive feeling of a carefree nature. a lot of positive vibes surround you and a lightness is within you. everything's good. you laugh and enjoy the echo when it comes back, delighting in that more than laughing itself, which makes you laugh even harder. nothing can really get you down and you have an optimism in all respects. basically, it's a childish nature. everything's good, everything will work out, and there is no evil. it's an innocence, but as you get older you have to choose that innocence to be happy. basically reject the worries and the hardness of life and choose to let your laugh vibrate through every bone in your body and laugh to feel the tickling sensation. do i sound childish? it's cuz i'm happy. i'm the happiest i've ever been. honestly. 000709

erin ....i saw the movie happiness...and was depressed for days. i think its main goal is to tear at your faith in humanity, and it's pretty successful. i kept thinking that it would get less upsetting and disturbing, but it just didn't. a sample scene: a father and a son (8-yr old) sit crying while they discuss the father's homosexual pedophilic tendencies.

son: what did you do to those boys? father: i fondled them and then i fucked them.
[pause]
son: dad, would you ever fuck me?
father: no
[long pause]
father: but i'd jerk off.

ok, that was the climax (pun intended) of the movie. disturbing, eh? it's actually worse when you see the whole thing. i highly advise against it. if you're in a bad mood, it'll make you depressed. if you're in a good mood, it'll knock you out of happiness for days.

hoodrat I used to think that happiness was something you looked for, something that was out there in open space hiding. All you had to do was find it, then everything would be perfect. This had been my thought since I was a child. Now that I'm older I've come to the conclusion that happiness can't be found. You already have it. It's inside, waiting for you to see it again. Happiness is the memory of all experiences, trying new things, a good tequila buzz, and your first consented sexual experience. Happiness is shooting a rubber band at my boss's head while he is on the phone with a client and watching "the graduate" with your brother for the first time,. Happiness is getting your heart broken and realizing that you still can love.

This is one of those fleeting moments. You know the answer, but all is forgotten by the next day. I am happy. I am alive. I have family and friends. I have a good job. I have this moment all to myself

the repeater Rhin- I remember the screams of the refugees, fleeing the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. They stumbled off the ships, and the cargo planes, in masses, on our tiny island. Some were silent. Others screamed uncontrollably. All of them were in shock, and more than I wanted to count, carried dead infants, or their dead pets in their arms. Some never made it to the island alive. The one's who did make it, were alive, but only physically. They would mumble bits and pieces of their ordeal, as they seemed to perpetually re-live their ordeal, over and over. The blank looks on their faces, as they mentioned walking by buildings, and seeing the buildings collapse, from the weight of the soot, and in the process crushing the people, seeking shelter, under it's formerly solid structure. They spoke of stepping over bodies, not knowing if they were alive or not, but afraid to stop and check. Some of the women screamed for their missing children. Some of the children would scream for their missing parents. For days.....I would drive to the flightline, pick up a few, bring them home, feed and bathe them (which was no easy task. the ash crept into every imaginable body part. it was unreal). I hugged them, begged them to eat more, and held them while they screamed. Then I would return my charges, back to the flightline, for departure to the U.S. mainland, while picking up more to bring home. This went on for days, and nights. I have never felt so helpless, or at a loss for words. What do you say to someone, who has just received the wrath of a natural disaster, of this proportion? I just screamed with them.

It took a little time, before the ashened air, reached our island, but when it did, this display, made our normally beautiful South Pacific sunsets seem to pale in comparison. They were absolutely breath-taking. Isn't it ironic, how some things in life, can be so beautiful, and at the same time, so ugly?

On my horizon i can see dark clouds, please no, not again. This time run, as fast as you can, away from the pain inside you.

Mr. Wonderfully Fabulous Happiness is: Waking up to the smell of last nights sex. You can smell the alcohol, and the cigarette smoke thats become part of your clothes, and that strong odour, the strong fishy smell mixed with stench of semen. Thats happiness.

And the feeling of pride, contentment, peace. I pulled. I pulled the young, shy, blonde boy in the corner, with the tight white shirt, and the strong, mature, experienced man by the bar, and the overweight, wealthy, business man in the toilet, and the hot, healthy, P.E teacher with the small breasts, and the dark haired slut in the dress with the zip along the side. As all five of them sleep, i lie there, tired from last nights sweaty, passionate, crazy sex. I'm HAPPY.

Third time that month i had such an orgy. I will not feel happiness , until the forth comes along. Now for the sadness of the wait for next weekend.

florescent light maybe their is only a limited amount of happiness in the world...

and when one in happy, it takes a little away from someone else.

what would happen if everyone in New York was ecstatically happy all at the same moment?
what would it be like if everyone America was happy at the same time, everyone in the world?
could so much positive energy emitted at once have any physical effects in our environment?
for every action there is an equal opposite reaction--
what is the opposite reaction of happiness?

it's strange to think that such a simple feeling, felt on a magnitude of different levels, may be impossible to be achieved by everyone at the same time.

Rower1 For 16 years of my life i thought i was happy with my life, then i found something new....my best friend. If what i had was happiness then this must be heaven. It came to me by pure luck, or was it my destiny? Either way i was leading a 'normal' life with general ups and downs, but i was the only one to be happy for my ups, and be fucking depressed for my downs. NO one was there for me, but now one person is there for me and sometimes i feel that if the whole world walked out on me i'd still be happy because i have her. If you saw her in the street she would be nothing special to you, shes everything to me, but a little advice you can take or say screw you too....dont go looking for it, dont wait for it, dont feel sorry for yourself because you dont feel you have it as good as others, but be in control of your thoughts, and maybe then happiness will come within your reach.

Dont get bogged down by inconvenience...theres never a convenient time for happines or unhappiness.

Allow your self to be your self...you cant be happy in someone elses shoes.

Try doing the thing it is you think you cannot do....because yesterday there was grief and today there is hope....tomorrow annything is possible.

Smlie because its better the happily impossible than the unhappy possibility.


I love my soulmate because she is the only person in my life that has made me un beleivably happy in this shitty world. I thank you for that MY baby.

LIL CHRIS I use to be happy when I had my homeboy by my side but now he's gone. When I say gone I don't mean that he passed I mean that he's not a big part in my life ne more. We use to talk all the time and just act stupid. I had his back and he had mine. Now things between me and him have changed. I guess you can say that we took seperate paths in life. Now that he's gone I see things in life a lil different and start to question if the people in this world are true to what they say they are or if they're bullshiters here to waste my time and brake my heart. 020829

sigma Happiness is going to a friend's party, watching the friend get hopelessly stoned, consoling her in the train station and letting her fall asleep on the train as you stare out the window...

It's walking in the freezing cold with someone with eyes that light up from the inside and who can make you laugh...

It's lying down somewhere where you shouldn't and looking up a sky that isn't allowed to be so beautiful...

It's remembering those who loved us, like the father who knew me once as his own, who held me close and told me bedtime stories, it's remembering their souls even if they are dead or in his case, still living and yet not there. Happiness is the absence of pain or the acceptance of it.

Happiness is remembering and experiencing and being.

star girl Life is surrounding me
My tinted glasses have been removed
And I can once again see its beauty
I was almost lost
Another casualty of a boring life
Almost sucked into the dark depths of winter once again
But then I saw the sunshine
And was pulled out of despair
I was pulled towards warmth and hope
Given another chance
And now with my arms wide open
And a smile on my face
Pure and innocent I embrace everything
With new eyes
I think I can keep the dark glasses off for a while

/anon [enter] I havent really felt it for going on 4 years now.
All of a sudden it can all be taken away in one night for me on fucking night. now the only happiness I ever feel is watching the moon on my roof or a sunset over the river even that I know isn't true like the feeling I would get in grade school when we played on the green under a yellow sun I was out side it just felt so serene I will never feel like that again and now all I feel is chaos in my mind always worriying over things that did not bother me at all back then and I never felt so left out till now and I never felt so alone till now. The worst part was adjusting to it when it was the feeling was taken so abruptly it was like I had lost everything and I was dead walking for a while I would wake up in the night and couldent sleep everynight my chest felt like it had an anvil on it every day for a while I was nauses and had heart burn from it every night I almost threw up but managed to avoid it by starving myself I had a few panic attacks I will never forget those the worst feeling I have ever felt much worse then any phisical pain I am glad I havent had one since. No one knew what was wrong with me I was tested for ulcers or any sort of phisical illness but nothing was wrong with me. Bu I got used to life like that after I had help from the magical zoloft.

nonlucid wonder if I brainwashed myself back into religion if I would be happy - know that was happy back when did believe, and by some twisted logic I tell myself that that means that there is peace and joy to be found there (after all, many have found it, there must be something) some kind of security which would be really useful.

But self-brainwashing requires serious effort, and a mindset I'm unsure of my ability to cultivate, wondering if it'd be worth it... postulating a God to make self happy requires total belief in it and thereby forgetting that it was invented for that purpose. Real belief is required, but I don't know where to find that either... this used to be easier
040712
...
nonlucid On second thought, maybe anyone can be happy if they only stop moaning and complaining about how horrible life is, stop wallowing in sadness and searching others who are also sad to cry with but rather simply let the unhappiness (and the feeling that it's right) go, just spread wings and flyyyy away

Maybe all the reasons not to be happy are just really bad excuses...
