Six Words, A Lifetime Story

Hot 21031 views. 2018-1-30 15:11

Include your whole life into six words. Believe me, it is not that hard. Six words story has become pretty popular now. You might have already heard some of them, like “Finally spoke to her. Left flowers.” “Siri, delete Mom from my contacts” “Introduced myself to mother again today”” I met my soulmate. She didn’t”.

 

See how powerful words could be.

 

If I have to write my six words story, it might be “Happy, or pretend to be happy.”

 

It’s probably not the precise one to describe my life, but at least that’s what I hope my life could be.

 

Life is not perfect. Like a road, it has many bends, ups and downs. No one could stay happy all the time, especially not me. To be frank, I am an easy target for emotion attacks.

 

If my life has been split into two parts: happy or not happy, and because I am too sensitive, I’m afraid that it’s the latter one that take the larger part.

 

I know what a crying face could lead to. It might stir many emotions from the others, and among them sympathy is the least and also the most useless one because sympathy from the others usually inspire more self-pities and self-doubts--the least you want in an unhappy situation. 


Believe me, for most of time, pretending or acting helps. And sometimes if you try hard enough to pretend, you might even talk yourself into a false security and  by that surprisingly you would feel better.

 

For some mysterious reason, midlife crisis suddenly seems to sweep across the circles of my connections, and some are even suffering from acute depressions. I can’t shrug it off by saying:” Don’t worry, things would be better” or “Take it easy, try to think more about your family.” Because I see the pains in their eyes, and the similar pains I feel deep inside my heart, perhaps on different scale, but still are the pains haunting there, refusing to go.

 

All I could do to deal with it is to think less about the consequences, worry less about the uncertain future, and focus more on the present. Pretend to be happy, act as if I don’t care, occupy my mind with something else.

 

Fake happy or happy, what’s the big difference? Besides, I always believe that the key step to be happy is to make peace with yourself. Tears won’t help to achieve that, but smiles would, even fake ones.

Happy is a noun that different people may have different ideas toward it. When somebody pretend to be happy, then his or her potential mind will tell him or her that they mind to do that.
So, in my mind, just take easy,  try best to enjoy everyday no matter it good or not. Things will always have ways out, if not, that mean we dare not to face it.

Yes, I am totally agree with you. Everyone has their own opinion toward happiness and their own way of achieving it. In modern society, we might have paid enougth attentions to phsical health, however, we often take mental problems lightly. Even more and more people are suffering from this or that kind of depression. So, it's important to have the ability to be happy. Losing that ability might have caused serious consequences. So, anyway would do. Just try to find your own way to find your happiness back when things turned urgly.

The trend develops into the positive side if we keep a good mood even we are in the mind of something suffered. Whatever it happened, we have many choices. The good decisions to better our life would be good options. Happiness lies in how grateful we are about to cherish what we view and hold. Not easy to master that inner peace, while we try always.
