Last night, I attended one of my friend's 25th birthday party. And of course, I was bound to run into people I have not seen in a while which I always look forward to. As we were discussing how our lives are going, he asked me an interesting question that took me aback. He asked me, "are you happy?" I have been asked that question numerous times, but when I was asked by him it finally sunk in, am I happy?
For the most part, I am happy.
I have a good career field I have chosen, good circle of genuine friends, and a loving and supportive family.
There are also the materialistic goals that I still would like to attain, such as owning a condo/house and having a little bit more money for security purposes. As well as, finding love.
I'm 25 years old, love will come my way when it's meant to be. But for now, I'm enjoying the single life! *Cue Beyonce's Single Ladies* :P
When I parted from my friend, he reminded me to "make sure YOU ARE happy." I do and I always find the good in anything.

Happiness is something that can not be attained by setting goals or realizing them. As our lives change, so does our definition of what happiness is and means. What would make you happy today, is not what would make you happy tommorow. But from knowing you, your mannerisms and your genuine nature, I would say that you are very close to attaining the happiness you seek. As for love, one should not use love as a gauge for happiness, one should find happiness in finding love. I believe that when you do find your true love, the happeniess that will be there will equal out all sadness that has been in your life.
