All I ever wanted for my life was to be happy. People around me have called me naive and said that I wasn't thinking realistically. I know that I'm still fairly young, but all I ever wanted from my life was to be happy. I don't need a ton of money, a huge house, many cars, etc.
Is it really that simple-minded of me to want to be happy with my family, friends, husband, kids, co-workers? To be happy with the job that I'm praying for?
There are so many people around me currently that do not want to see me happy. I started dating someone that makes me happy, but we found ourselves in situations where the people closest to us didn't want to see us succeed. Friendships were broken, trust was lost, and people felt betrayed.
Throughout these past months, I realized that I care too much about what other people think. I need to be selfish and let myself be happy. I know I can't rely on myself to get out of this situation so I need to rely on God.
Be happy.
