"happiness is like chasing a butterfly. the more we chase it, the more it will fly and go away. we have to learn to sit still and let the butterfly land on us."
-kris aquino, on cover story @ abs-cbn.
all my life, i yearned to be happy. everyday, i wished for a better day than the day before. like others, i searched for happiness. who wouldn't? i find my happiness with my friends who endlessly devoted their time and friendship to me all the time...even sometimes if i refused it, i get it from the unconditional love of my father and my mother, i get it from the bonding time i share with my siblings whether it be having a shopping spree at the mall or getting a quick boba, i find it from the innocence of my nephew and my niece as i watch them play, i felt it when ron or glenn first loved me... but eventually lost it.
i think i need to stop hoping for love or happiness. i need to tell myself that someday, when evetually the right time comes, it will come. i need to avoid the things and the events that have hurt me in the past. i will look back at it someday but hopefully, no more tears and no more pain but rather smiles.
i already mentioned in my previous blogs that i need happiness...but i will also have the to learn to wait for it to land on me like the butterfly. if it's my time to have it, it will come to me.
and like the other times, i will simply wait.
