Happyness

I love that film, The Pursuit of Happyness. There's something about it that makes me want to cry and makes me really angry that no- one gives the guy a break. The film shows the story of an ordinary guy trying to find his happiness, whether that be from his son, a place to live or a job. The film explains that the Declaration of Independence states that:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
 
The film makes me realise that through our life we always pursue happiness and always strive for it as opposed to having it in our lap from day one. In our lives we discover those things that make us happy and hold onto those things for dear live. I guess it could be anything. It could be people, family, friends, a partner. It could be a new car, a amazing job, marriage, kids and so on.
 
I guess I'm halfway there, but the funny thing is there is no rush to find them. I'm happy to want for things that I really want. I'm working hard to qualify and hopefully find that amazing job. I'm working hard because in turn, I'll have a gorgeous house that I own and one day I'm hoping that I will get married and have kids...but I'm in no rush for them yet.
 
I'm happy at the moment for many reasons. I have a great family first of all. They drive me insane sometimes, they make me laugh, make me cry but whatever situation whenever in my life I know I can turn to them. Whether that be my mum (who is the first person I go to usually), my brother when I need some help, or my sister if I need to talk girl things. My younger brother is in the stage where he just grunts at you over the phone (he's almost 13) but I know when I see him in person- he'll flash his gorgeous little smile and give me a cuddle and everything feels good!
Next, I have a lovely boyfriend who I have SO much fun with. He's there for me in different ways. Little things that trouble me that I don't want to bother anyone else with, I know he'll listen to me rant. He's the person I tell all my secrets to and know that he will never tell. If I'm upset, worried or nervous, he just holds my hand and it's nice. I look forward to seeing him all the time.
Next, I have my amazing friends. Sarah Hallas, Katie Fowler, Rach Moore and my flatmate Soph. They all have something different about them that I feel I can speak to them about. If I need a cracking night out and want to forget about everything, I'll go to Hallas. If I need a cup of tea and a chat, I'll go to Fowler. If I need someone beating up or shouting at for me, I'll go to Rach (kidding, although she is a bit gobby!! She won't mind me saying that!) And my flatmate Soph sees everything! She's been a massive help to me the last week or so and I've been so grateful to her for helping me out.
 
So other things on the list that make me happy- My new car (I'm in love with it!), my flat, the fact that my dad's just moved down to Exmouth to run a pub and he's SO happy- I'm going to visit at the end of the month! and the fact that I might be an auntie soon!!! (more to come on that in a few weeks time.)
 
One thing I'm not so happy about is that I've had a wisdom tooth out this morning and I'm in pain. :-( But I'm staying at home in Leamington so Mum's looking after me :-)
 
More to come soon. Keep happy :-) xx
