Happiness

 Happiness is a state of mind. It is a complex emotion because there are unique ways how we approach it. This might be difficult to understand, but we have to create our own happiness and it does not come naturally. There are multiple ways  people with epilepsy show their happiness. Since we have mood swings (especially women) problems, happiness is a difficult challenge to face. However, there are unexpecting ways we create happiness. Passion is the answer in my heart. 

I am happy about multiple aspects in my life. I have a wonderful family, friends, the epilepsy community, a job, school, and the most important thing is myself. Even if I have epilepsy, I still love myself and make my happiness happen. Since I was born with the passion for art, this has helped it grow every day. I specialize in drawing with pencil, painting, and paper mache.  I also specialize in  drawing plants and animals. My art instructor said my work is similar to the famous artists, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O' Keefe, and Jonas Wood. 

Passion and self-care really are the answers on how happiness can grow or decrease. I love to exercise and eat right because I know what's best for me. These aspects would not have happened if it wasn't for amazing people in my life who look out for me. Whenever I'm sad, I think of all the happy aspects and achievements I have completed in my life.  I enjoy watching movies and even giving my stuffed animals a hug to make myself feel better. 

I decided to write about happiness because I know many people (not just epileptics) have trouble with their happiness in life. We sometimes feel lost and like we do not belong, but we can change that by showing our true colors. It does not matter what creates your happiness, its the actions that count.

The takeaway from this post is "no one is ever alone and if you feel stuck, happiness will guide you to the right path!"
