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!
