You with the Sad Eyes

Yesterday you were smiling, but It doesn’t show in your eyes.

There are moments that I can see you passing along the hallways, Alone. At that moment I want to accompany you. But All I can do is just stare at you. Stare at your face. Stare at how tired your eyes are. I want to hug you and remind you that life is too beautiful to be sad. I may not know what you are going through, but I want to remind you that life is too short to be unhappy.                                                                                                                                                              

Sometimes life might be giving you a hard time, that you wish for a deactivation button. That button is also known as your sad button. It is the ones that you click on your Facebook account every time you want to disappear. The moment you click that button, you also feel like you’ve just died. While you’re gone, you’re hoping that someone is worried, that someone misses you, and that someone would pray to bring you back from the dead.

While you are on a deactivation mode, thoughts start on coming into your head. Someone might be dying to talk to you but they can’t. You might have been missing good news that might change your life.  Then you realize how much better it is, when you are in an activation mode. That button is also known as your happy button. So you click that button again, only to find out that you are just gone for an hour.

Being frustrated, depressed, and tired is just a state of the mind. So everything you’re feeling, whether you’re sad, afraid, angry, and happy, – it’s your choice. You are in control of what you’re going to feel. Above all these feelings, choose to be happy.

Whenever you feel sad, remember the moments when you can’t breathe because you can’t stop laughing.

Whenever you feel tired, remember the people who work hard in order to give you a better life.

Whenever you feel being unloved, remember that someone offers his life because he loves you unconditionally.

“Happiness is a choice, not a result.  Nothing will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.”
