My Key To Happiness

My key to happiness is doing what I want to and enjoying what I like. I don't worry about what other people are doing. What they are watching, listening to or doing? I don't care if the whole stupid country is on a diet trying to lose weight. I don't care if I ever lose weight or what weight I am. I feel good and that's all that matters. I don't care if people say I should get another job and move on up that ladder. What does it matter and to who? I never try to impress anyone else with anything. If someone likes me, then great. If they don't, then oh well. I don't know why how many people think they need someone else to make them happy. No one else can make you happy, only you. I don't care if I'm the last virgin on Earth or if everyone is having sex with whoever or whatever. I think if you want to be happy, then you'll be happy no matter what. If you want to be miserable, then you'll stay miserable. It's all up to you.

I love to watch my shows, listen to my music and live my life how I want to live it and not according to how someone else thinks I should be living it. No one knows what makes me happy, but me. Simple things make me happy. They may not make others happy because they are simple and people love to complicate their lives with crap.
People bring problems on themselves and make more problems for themselves when they make certain choices. They don't ever think about the consequences of their actions, only the results. People say their lives are hard, but a lot of them make their lives hard or harder than they have to be.

I really don't think some people love themselves or really even like themselves and that's their whole problem. It's true that you have to love yourself before you can ever truly love someone else. And you should always remain true to who you are and not try to be someone else to please other people. You'll never be happy if you spend your whole life trying to be someone that you're not. That's hard and no one should ever ask you to be what you're not. That means they don't really love you if they can't accept you for who you are.

Right now I live in a shack by the railroad tracks with my Mom and my cat Bela. I work at a job that I've worked for 22 years. My life has not changed very much in the last how many years and I don't care. It doesn't need to. Some would say that they would never want my life. And you know what? I would never want theirs, even if they paid me a million dollars. I don't have a husband, boyfriend, partner or whatever and if I never have one, then who cares. I haven't been looking for one and I certainly don't need one just because everyone else has one or seems to. I don't spend my life looking at and coveting other people's lives and wishing I was them. They may seem happy, but sometimes that's all just an illusion. I feel very rich in this world, even though I owe a ton of money. Money is not the only thing that can make you rich. I have other more valuable treasures and I appreciate them and I'm very grateful for them. I don't need a ton of fancy things or I don't need to impress anyone with what I have. I don't drive a car and I could care less if I ever drive one. If I had a car, then I'd probably be fatter than I am. I love to walk to my bus stop for some exercise every day. The bus isn't all bad unless they start changing routes and times. Or getting rid of routes I need to get me where I need to go.

People can do whatever they want to and they have the power to make themselves happy if they only wanted to be. I sometimes wonder if some people ever want to be happy or if they just love to wallow in their misery. Misery loves company they say and that's very true. Their are a lot of people who will try to make others miserable because they see that they're happy and they think they don't deserve to be because they're not. I just ignore those people and they can spend all their time being miserable, but they're not going to destroy my happiness because I won't let them.

This is a long post and I think I'm done. I won't say I'm happy because most people who go on and on about how happy they are and keep repeating themselves, are not happy and only are trying to make themselves and others think they are happy.
