Happiness is a an emotional and mental state involved by feeling of contentment , joy, and satisfaction.
They say happiness is free but some still pay to be happy because they can't afford to make themselves happy.
When you are happy you seem to be at peace with yourself and always be in a good mood.
Through the years I have spent on planet earth, I have been aware of the fact that we can't always be happy and there will for sure be sad days and that's why I have learnt to appreciate , be excited and grateful for the little things I get and am given.
I know some people might not be in a position or be okay with where they are at the moment , which has made them sad or maybe depressed and I deeply wish them divine healing and pray they find happiness in their lives.
Even though,we have sad days in our lives we have those specific moments that brings joy to our heart . I have found mine and I will be sharing them with you.
If there is one thing I have noticed about myself is the fact that I am always happy when I travel,visit and see new places . I love going to places I have never visited before, I could remember vividly the time I spent the holiday at my brother's house in Lagos and he took us out to Elegushi beach ,Freedom Amusment Park, Shoprite , Silverbird Cinema and other places I never visited before. I was excited to see and go to this places that I wished I visited them everyday.
On our trip in lagos,i had the opportunity to see high rise buildings and skyscrapers. I was in the car and immediately we got to Maryland in Lagos, we came across an high rise building , i was in eager to see the top of building that I just peeped from the window and when I saw how tall the building was i had a reaction which was "Wow this buildings are very tall" . I never saw those kind of buildings before in my life ,and i was very happy seeing them for the very first time.
Passing my exams makes me happy. It's a different kind of joy when you pass your exams. Exam periods are known to be really stressful ,you will be having sleepless nights reading , and sometimes you might even fall sick and have examination fever. Everyone wants to pass their exams because obviously no one wants to have a carryover or an extra year . It's actually nice and a thing of joy when you see you worked hard for your exams and you achieve great results and pass them successfully. The results of my last semester exams came out on Saturday and I was scared to even check it,not that I didn't read or prepare for the exams well ,but I just had this feeling of fear in me. Now,I checked and I was impressed by what I saw I did 11 courses passed 10 successfully and had an E in one course. I wasn't suprised I got E in this course because I was aware of the fact I didn't read well for it and I also knew in the back of my mind that the highest I could have gotten was a D.
Getting upvotes on hive gets me excited. It's a different feeling when you get upvoted here on hive,because that shows that your effort is been recognised, and shows that people find meaning in what you have posted and also appreciate that particular content. One of my happiest moment on hive was when I got upvoted for the very first time by @leo.voter on my post . I didn't even know he voted on the post until my sister @oyebola told me I got upvoted on one of my posts, I went to my hive account, check my notification ,and saw I got an upvote from him. I promise you i had buterflies in my belly and I had to tell my mum about it. She was really happy for me and my reaction was "yes I did it" because this was obviously something i have always hoped and wished for , and i was happy i finally achieved it.
I have several other things that makes me happy and lightens up my mood but these are the basic ones I will be talking about.
As I put a stop to my writing I will say this "Always do what that makes you happy , make yourself happy when there is no one to make you happy and endeavour to associate yourself with people that brings joy,happiness and excitement to your life.
