Pursuit Of Happiness.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence,
“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 amongthese are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Am I am not entitled to being happy??. Good heavens, Maybe I do not deserve to be happy, but I know i can, and should pursue the same even if to no ends. This does not mean that because I am pursuing happiness I can’t be happy at the same time...Maybe iam happy in the pursuit or maybe the moist touch of that miracles makes me lust for more...Sometimes it's a curse and sumtimes it's a blessing but neverthless it's a pursuit everlasting and in parts unattainable .So why must we always be HAPPY? When I say HAPPY I mean forced smile HAPPY, mega HAPPY, frappacappaccino HAPPY, long nights with a bottomless keg and broken promises HAPPY, ginormous diamond ring HAPPY, red sports car HAPPY, not married HAPPY, stiletto sandals HAPPY, lonely, aching, empty, searching, wounded heart but by gosh HAPPY. …HAPPY?…is this really what we want? If it is, yeah, I do see why we wouldn’t be happy in our pursuit. Why pursue at all? If we were to pursue, we might actually catch a glimpse of what our "HAPPY" is made of.

Sometime ago i came across this quote and it nearly broke my heart…and summed up our sad little world:"It's going to come true like you knew it would, but it's not going to feel like you thought it would"-Rosie O'Donnell…so I am happy in my pursuit, because for me the pursuit is about completing my life.I have realized that somewhere we are all incomplete,we live our whole lives like that.Incomplete in love,incomplete in success even incomplete in our failures. Somewhere all i long for is completion,somewhere all i lust for is fullfilment. Maybe it's our destinies to find our elixer just as it's our destiny to reach our waterloo. I may never find what iam looking for but i know only a touch of that happiness will complete me for ever.Someone ones told me"People learn early in their lives what is their reason for being",fortunately or unfortunately i have still not learnt that but the more i learn i realize this is the reason...maybe this is all my reasons...

"The dream is always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that will be the miracle. "

The Quarter-Life Crisis

The Quarter-Life Crisis

-by unknown

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like.You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
