Happiness

I remember when I was just a little girl sitting on the backseat of a car and just staring into the darkness in search of the moon.. I could swear it had a face and was following us with a smile unless I had been naughty of course and was wondering whether it was still smiling or not. Every ride seemed to last for hours even when, thinking back, it was a 30 minute ride.

Yesterday was the first time since a while that I was sitting on the backseat of a car again staring outside and listening to music. I felt like I was abroad taking a trip, staring into the darkness, even though this too was a 30 minute ride. At some point I thought to myself: am I happy? And an instant smile appeared on my face. I suppose I am happy right here, right now and enjoying every day as though it was my last. But I also realized that I really wanted to go abroad again, like there was a little piece missing in my puzzle. And isn't that what we're all doing? Looking for that last piece, that thing that makes us happy, makes our life complete…but then again, ask yourself…will you ever be able to find that last piece? And maybe your puzzle of life is complete but wanting more, you start your second puzzle.

Some people keep searching forever, others settle with one complete puzzle or even with an incomplete puzzle looking beyond the imperfections. And I think we all have an imperfect life, isn't that what makes it fun? Even with the imperfections, I think my life is pretty awesome ^-^. And I don't think I'll ever be able to finish my puzzle and neither do I really want to. It's good to long for more, to want more and to fight for it. It's what keeps my life excited, different, crazy at times, and maybe even unique.

Yesterday we talked about uniqueness; you are unique if you think you are unique. I think everyone is unique and has their own "signature", some just forgot or are afraid to show it.

So be happy, be unique, be YOU!

Update

June 9th 2010, the day me and Hoisan left for Asia…our adventure began. We went out into the world to discover all we hadn't seen before. And what an adventure it was...the food we tasted, the people we met, the beautiful countries we explored, the scary bus rides, the weird yet awesome things we got to do, the WK where Holland made it to the finals and so much more... A trip to remember and a trip I am still talking about today. And now here I am, two years later, working to safe money for my next trip! And hoping Holland will make it to the finals again so I can wear my creative Asian-market outfit from 2010!



A lot has happened in my life since the last time I wrote, both positive as negative. But as you know, I am like a beam of sunshine always making it through the clouds, being positive even when the clouds seem endless and trying to clear the sky as much as possible. And all I've been doing, besides working, is enjoying life, being happy and making the most of my days.


I will try to write more frequently, but only if I've got something to say.


For now, take care!
