A record on repeat.
Sometimes repetition gets tiring. After seconds, days, months, years, decades. Everyday is like a record on repeat. There's an unstoppable chain of events that will happen everyday. Slowly, people will grow old. Slowly, people will grow sad. I used to believe the world was full of color. But now, it's a polaroid. A stop in time. A photograph. I hide my fear and sadness behind a cloak of fake happiness. Knowing true happiness comes very sparsely. When happiness does come, I try to savor every moment of it. But sometimes it's hard, because there's money involved. Money doesn't buy happiness, but money does buy some experiences. You need to pay to go to an amusement park. You need to pay to go on a plane and visit family. You need to pay for gas to go to the park or camping. Once you make money, you're likely to get greedier. Once you lose money, you're likely to go into depression. Money hurts us. Money makes us happy. Money is a drug. Happiness is hard to come by, here in today's society. But, you need to know that money doesn't buy happiness. Be happy, even if it takes years to get there. In sixty seconds of sadness you lose a minute of happiness.
Breathe and see life in color.
While it's true, money doesn't buy happiness...it sure does make life easier.
ReplyDeleteYeah but that's the problem with people these days - they think money will make them happy. It sucks.
DeleteTo make myself happy, I usually either just write and 'bleed' onto the paper or else go for a walk around the lanes where I live. There's trees and woodland it's beautiful, and it is also really calming.
ReplyDeleteI think the best things in life come free, to be honest. I know that saying is as old as the hills, but it's still significant in society today.
Yeah, I would rather just be in my hometown, spending less money, than on a big exotic adventure, spending more money. I just hope people realize that money won't always fix your problems (emotionally). Anyways, have a good day! :D
DeleteYou are right - one needs to know that money doesn't buy happiness.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI completely agree. It's such a shame that money has such a big hand in our lives. I feel like money does not necessarily buy happiness but it buys the possibility of happiness, or the opportunity for happiness to arise. In many ways, that's just as cruel. Rather pessimistic view but yeah.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day though!
Yeah, it hurts me how much it can take a toll on our feelings and lives. And you have a great day, also!
