“There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.” — Logan Pearsall Smith

Happy has five letters. Pizza has five letters.
This is no coincidence.

And then one student said that happiness is what happens when you go to bed on the hottest summer night, a nigh so hot you can't even wear a tee-shirt and you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them, although try to sleep is probably more accurate. And then some point late,late,late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you're almost chilly and, in your groggy, half-counciousness, you reach over and pull the sheet around you and just that flimsy sheet makes it warm enough and you drift back off into a deep sleep. And it's that reaching, that gesture, that reflex we have to pull what's warm-- whether it's something or someone-- toward us, that feeling we get when we do that, that feelings of being safe in the world and ready for sleep, that's happiness.

I think
the reason why so many people are unhappy
is because they are waiting for a time
when everything is perfect.
They are waiting for a day
when they wake up and everything clicks,
where nothing is going wrong.
That day won't ever come.
There will always be suffering,
things will always be going wrong.
That isn’t a reason to be upset.
You don’t wait for all the suffering to be gone,
you find happiness through the suffering.

Fifteen Small Steps To Happiness
One. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.
Two. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.
Three. erase processed food from your diet. start with no lollies, chips, biscuits, then erase pasta, rice, cereal, then bread. use the rule that if a child couldn’t identify what was in it, you don’t eat it.
Four. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.
Five. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.
Six. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.
Seven. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.
Eight. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.
Nine. organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.
Ten. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.
Eleven. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.
Twelve. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.
Thirteen. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.
Fourteen. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.
Fifteen. lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

Today I was walking with my little sister around the block
I was passing by this girl's house who sometimes says "Hi" to me when I go for runs. She asked if my little sister and I could come over her house to color chalk on the driveway with her for a while. I said "yes" and we spent the afternoon together coloring chalk with her. She told me that we were the only friends she ever had that ever came over to her house. She was telling me how it was the best day in her life that we came over to be with her because her mom is pregnant, and can't drive her around to friends' houses or give her a lot of attention. She was alone most of the time, and she was new in her school so not many people talked to her. It really made my day that just by coloring chalk with this little girl that I could make her so much happier.

I'm not sure if I'm depressed. I mean, I'm not sad. But I'm not exactly happy,
either. I can laugh and joke and smile during the day, but sometimes when I'm alone at night I forget how to feel.

Watch the sunset at least once a year, put a lot of marshmellows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and stare at the stars, never buy a coffee table you cant put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, dont overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.

i am depressed
i can still smile at pretty things.
and laugh when jokes are funny.
i can still talk to people.
and enjoy nice days.
but when i go inside,
when i am alone,
there is something broken.
and i fall into a sadness so sweet
that in engulfs me.
i look in the mirror.
and i don't like what i see.
and the tears always fall
when i'm falling asleep.
and i miss something,
that doesn't exist.
i am depressed.
i've been said for a while.
but i can still find the light.
i can still smile.

Deep down i know that one day,
I want to look back,
Back on the scars,
The abuse,
The death,
The pain,
Even the happiness.
I want to stare into the distance,
A peaceful mind,
I want to smile and say
"I made it."

I hope that one day you buy every pretty
dress you've ever wanted. I hope
you wear them and dance barefoot in summer and
laugh. I hope you smile at all the little things, like flowers
and the laughter of little children.
I HOPE YOU LEARN TO BE H A P P Y. ♥

two years.
two years ago, i only wore sweatshirts and converse. now, i won't leave the house without a collared shirt and boat shoes. i don't wear yoga pants anymore. shopping at PINK would never even occur to me now, and the days of no makeup have turned into occasionally wearing mascara and lip gloss. two years ago, my life didn't have one direction in it. now, the walls in my room are not longer visible due to the posters. i was at a different school two years ago than i am now. i used to have practically no friends, and now i don't even think about numbers because of how many i have. two years ago, i wasn't really happy with my life and wasn't quite sure how to change it. now, i'm happier than i've ever been. i once had an indifferent approach to religion, whereas i now identify myself as a strong atheist who isn't one to preach about not believing in g-d. everyone is entitled to his or her own beliefs. two years ago, i was dealing with gossip, cliques, drama, and exclusion. now, those issues barely even arise. i'm more confident and feel better about expressing myself, now. two years ago, i didn't write. now, i can't go a day without typing or jotting down some form of prose. i had braces two years ago, and now i don't. i used to suffer from body image issues and social anxiety, but not anymore. a lot can change in two years, but one thing that has remained a constant is Witty. two years ago today i made my very first profile on Witty Profiles. sophsunflower12. it was a username i used for everything, held some significance in my life, and i liked it. when i was signing up, i had no idea how much of an impact one website could make. through Witty, i've talked to so many people and read so many inspiring and clever quotes. two years ago, i didn't know how to make my quotes "pretty," figured out what the "code" and "source" were, and then recently decided that black and white quotes were the way to go because they were simple, i was too lazy to find/create interesting formats, and i liked them. thank you so much, Steve, for creating this epic website and allowing the individuals on it to express themselves. also, thanks to everyone here for being so epic.
this is my 1000th quote, two year anniversary, and me just saying thanks.
thanks.

"Are you happy?" is such a difficult question. I always say yes because I
have friends, I laugh at jokes, I go out a lot and have fun, my life sn't as bad as it could be, and I don't have terrible problems. It could be worse. But then, on some nights at 3 AM when I'm alone and still awake, lying in bed, thinking about life I find myself crying my heart out. Suddenly I'm convinced that nobody likes me or nobody will ever like me. I feel horrible and question everything I had.
And then I don't know if I was ever happy at all.
