Dear Future Husband #8
Dear Future Husband,
How have you been? I know it’s been a long time since I wrote to you. A popular excuse would be, there’s a lot that has been happening in my life, but, it is true. My life has been somewhat interesting and I can’t wait to fill you in on all the happenings. Recently, I’ve been mentally drained and constantly feeling fatigued, in between, I try to cheer myself up and stay motivated and it has been a long journey.
I always joke about finding happiness like it’s a missing element in my life, and I have been thinking, is happiness a thing to be discovered, to be chased after? I certainly haven’t met her since I have been searching. Things take up the meaning we give them so I clearly defined what happiness means to me.
“Happiness is not a goal or a destination
Happiness is a choice for me
So I wake up every day and choose happiness,
And align my being to connect with my choice”.
I know this seems like theory, felt like that to me initially, some days the sad energy around can get overwhelming and happiness becomes a myth. But it’s still a choice I get the opportunity to make every day, so if yesterday wasn’t a happy one for me, I’ll make today one. Listening to a conversation by Naval he mentioned “Happiness is knowing that there’s nothing missing in this time”. This is how I live and try to live every day, being happy in this moment, content in the idea that nothing is missing, I’m not longing for what’s not here, grateful for what I have now. At the end of the day, happiness needs contentment and gratefulness to thrive.
Darling, if you are ever worried about me, know this, I’m happy today, and that’s all that matters.
With love
Diseyi Philomena
