We all long to feel happy, but what people fail to realize is that everyone's point of view on happiness is different.
While some see happiness as nothing more than being surrounded by good company and laughs, others believe happiness to be
merely loneliness, peace, and quite. Alas this is not about a normal persons thoughts on happiness. Its about the pain that
is inflicted on one person just for the happiness another feels. You never quite think about sadness or depression,
therefore you don't think about the person suffering from these soul eating, joy killing, diseased filled feelings. For
example, when you find the love of you life, the joy overwhelms you. You don't think about last fall when you tore your
ex's heart out, because to you something wasn't working. You don't think about how devoted they were to you. You don't truly
think about how you were their everything. You don't think about them still staying up at night, thinking of you, still
clinging onto the love they have for you. They hope you are okay, because though you decided to stay friends, you
haven't talked in months. They need to reassure themselves that you were never and never will be as broke as they are. You
think about the new love of your life. You think about them laying in your arms, something your ex couldn't do purely be-
cause she was in the states while you resided in the United Kingdoms. She makes you happy and that's all you think and
care about. Or when you find a guy to fill your time. You want to be with him all the time. He makes you happy, but you
don't think about your best friend. You don't think about the endless nights they stayed with you, because you didn't want to
be alone. You don't think about the way they felt when coming over every night turned to once a month and then never. You
used to rely on them. Being by your side was something once so common, now foreign. You used to quake at the thought of
them not being by you. Now you never call on them for anything. You don't think about how they liked staying with you.
You don't think about the problems they got to leave at home when they came over. You never once think about how they
relied on the future that you two planned to have together. The constant days obsessing over the perfect life in sunny
Los Angeles, CA. You don't think about the nothingness they feel they have become. No, that never crosses your mind. You
never think about how they needed you as much as you needed them and still do. No. You think about how good it feels to crawl
in bed with the love of your life at night. You think about the good times you have with him. You don't dare remind yourself
of the major depression problems your best friend was going through when you left. You dare not think about the suicide attempts.
No. You think that your happiness equals everyone's happiness. Now lets step back for a moment. We should show no sympathy, nor
regret for those that don't get the happiness that you do. You can not put your life on hold for them. You can not sacrifice your
happiness for theirs. They have to find their own happiness. They have to dig deep in themselves to find what truly makes them
happy. Just remember the next time you reunite with your best friend, or your former love, that your happiness it not theirs.
Show not sympathy, but remorse. Ask about how they are coping with the change. We all think that if we are happy that everyone
around us is happy as well. Sadly this is not the case. Sometimes your happiness equals someone else self-destruction.
