I am Happy

You see this feeling called Happiness not everyone is opportune to experience it, people are faced with series of challenges daily that they can’t even take a minute to breathe and smile.

The interesting part of all this is that people watching from the sidelines can offer tons of advice to you but in all honesty, you are the only one who knows where the shoe hurts the most and you are the only one present in the battlefield.

I woke up on Sunday morning feeling so sad and angry, why? Because I slept and woke up with a swollen lips, I couldn’t recognize my lips in the mirror, I was in pain, and coupled with the fact that I couldn’t talk properly. I kept staring at the mirror over and over and the more I did the more my heart sank as in my eyes the size increased.

The only thing I could think of was what if this Sunday was a big day in my life, like my wedding, attending a big interview or something what would I have done? Playing the whole event and worst-case scenarios I became so sad.

I kept forcing myself to sleep Lol so my lips could transform back just the way they did while I was asleep. Sadly it didn’t work. I kept sulking till this morning when my brother called to inform me that a robber entered my family house and took everything that he could lay his hands on while he was done instead of jumping the fence or looking for how to leave homeboy fell asleep very close to the gate. According to my brother, the robber slept soundly even when they woke up and were raising the alarm homeboy was still sleeping until they held him down and handed him to the police. If someone else narrated this story to me I would have probably laughed at the person and accused them of narrating a line or two from a movie but this actually happened.

Till now my family and I are shocked.

I moved from being shocked to weeping and excited. What kept going through my mind was what would have happened if any of my family members were hurt in the process of the robbery, how would I and my family get through all of this? After asking myself countless questions I just couldn’t help but thank God and in that moment I forgot my swollen lips as that became the least of my worries and all I could do was be Happy and dance to my heart's content.

I played my go-to song Happy by Pharrell Williams as this song always put me in the mood. Happy is one song with very powerful lyrics and with so much positivity which has the power to move your mood from 10% to 100%! With this song, you need no invitation to dance as you see yourself making those moves without warning!

The song encourages us to be happy at all times not minding our present condition. While being happy the song urges us to spread this Happiness with others.

Williams in one of the interviews I had watched years ago gave a little backstory to how the song Happy came about and to our astonishment the song was written when he was in a very bad place. So the artist appeals to us to be happy every day and we can see it repeated over and over again.

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)

This song inspires me a lot as the song has the ability to keep me calm in this chaotic world. It stares up that positive feeling in me that makes me so excited and I feel totally unstoppable!
