People often ask -" what is happiness?" or
"How does one find happiness?"
I used to think that too,
Kept looking for it in everyone and everywhere!
Started raising expectations,
Got my hopes all high.
And when nothing could come out of them,
It would make me even sadder
I would cry my heart out!
But no, nothing got better.
And one day, while I was weeping like always used to ,
Came a beautiful boy, on a beautiful white horse,
Stopped beside me and handed over his little
white handkerchief to me.
He asked - " Why are you this sad, young lady?"
And I replied - " 'coz I can't find happiness!!"
He chuckled and sat down by my side and said--
" My dear lady, finding happiness is a myth.
You dont need to go and search for it everywhere!
It isnt something you would find in others.
Rather it is with you, it has always been with you.
Its in the LITTLE THINGS that you usually dont acknowledge..the little things ! "
I was too immature and stupid to understand him, rather I mistook his kindness to be love!
But of course, when reality struck and
He left, I was devastated again.
Couldn't find no peace, no calm , no happiness.
And out of nowhere, he appeared before my eyes again and kept repeating -" IT'S IN THE LITTLE THINGS,. MY LADY ! "
I woke up from the dream and smiled
Its the little things to look for happiness in
And now there'd be no one as confined as me.
I'm finally happy ..!
