Whenever I watch someone blast their life all over Facebook and Twitter, declaring their happiness each step of the way, I always stop and wonder,
“If you need to announce your happiness to everyone, are you really that happy?”
Happiness just is. It doesn’t need to be announced. It’s a feeling that takes over every part of you and makes you feel full inside.
I want to feel full.
And for once, that has nothing to do with food.
When I feel full, I don’t check my phone compulsively. I don’t worry about what everyone else is doing rightthissecond.
When I feel full, I make time for friends.
When I feel full, I’m not afraid to say no to something, if it means more quality time spent on something else.
When I feel full, it feels like my priorities are in line with my actions.
When I feel full, it means I’m happy to sit on the floor with Gooplet and watch him try to figure life out.
It’s the best feeling. And I’m making it happen more.
Starting now!
