Like a bubble

Happiness is like a bubble. It’s fragile. One wrong move and it will burst into a million little pieces of dew then into nothingness. We can choose to continue to be happy even when all the euphoria has died down. It’s all up to us.
When I was in my teens, I was always unhappy with something. Even little things that should never have mattered to me, I find unhappiness in. But then I realized that I was always carrying this negative energy with me everywhere I go. Everyone around me got a little of the negativity coming from me. I hated that part of my life.
Then something happened. Someone I truly love died. It made me see things differently. It made me realize that carrying negative feelings with me can cause not only me to be unhappy but everyone around me as well. I realized that there are so many things to be happy about, there are so many blessings that come in little packages. I can be happy and it’s all up to me. I can control my emotions. I became happy that my loved one died. Just because he will no longer suffer, no longer cry out from pain. I became happy that despite the loss, we became closer and more prayerful. I became happy that despite the death, there came a new life for each one of us.
Yes, happiness is like a bubble. But when one bursts, we can create more bubbles, big and little, to replace the one that was lost.
