I don’t even know why I’m sad anymore. I can’t even remember what it’s like to be happy, thats the sad part. Do you remember being happy? If you do remind me, please!
Happy is a dangerous word. Don’t look at it like a state you can achieve and stay there for eternity. Here’s a harsh truth that few people really know: you can’t be happy forever. Eventually you will go back to normal, sometimes go even down to sad, then up again to normal and fluctuate around these three states. ¿Do I remember being happy? Yes. When I see my niece, I feel happy when she says my name. When I see my best friend, I feel happy because I know we are going to go waste time playing games, watching movies, or just ranting about random topics. But most of all: Right now I feel happy because I’ve accepted happiness is not an state I should try to achieve with each and every action and decision I make. Happiness comes and goes, just like sadness. It’s all about the little details that make you hop between moods, and how you live through them. If you live your life trying to be happy, its very likely you never will because you never gave yourself the chance to stop and enjoy even the most trivial and pointless thing that couldve gave you a small bump. We just have to live to keep living: happiness and sadness are along the way, but they are not our destinations.
Try to remember it as soon as you can, even if it’s just with little things, one step at a time. I’m saying this because if you forget it long enough, if you ever start feeling happy again (or just a bit lees sad), the anxiety of losing that happiness is unbearable when it hits you. Been there, just today, had to lock myself in a bathroom not to be noticed and ended up throwing up (but i’m guessing several people noticed).
Happiness is defined differently and found in varying places by each individual. Happiness to me is the first 5 seconds of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles. It makes me smile every time I play it.
Only you know where your happiness is, music, friends, TV, books, art, writing, anything.
Try everything once and be prepared to try it again. Experience all that you can. The best you can.

the day I got my dog was the happiest day of my life hands down
Pets do wonders for us. Everyone should own a dog or cat at least a couple of times in life. They can change your mood in a flash.
The day i got to meet the love of my life in person was the happiest day of my life
