I don’t mind if I live in a very simple world.
As long as I’m in the place where I can immediately find peace.
As long as I’m doing what I’m passionate about.
As long as I get to see the person that I love every single day of my life.

I have become obsessed with outdoing myself.
I live every day making sure I do more, I perform better, I learn something new.

I need to constantly remind myself to strive for greatness.
I barely live in the present.
My mind is in the future most of the time.
But what I forget to ask myself sometimes is:What am I working hard for?
But I almost always exclude happiness as a reason for all of my efforts in life.
Maybe I assume that by being successful, I can automatically be happy.
Maybe if I have all the things that I desire in life, I can already feel accomplished.
Maybe if tons of people recognize my name, I can make my loved ones proud of me.
But maybe I have been living life the wrong way.
Maybe what I really want, from the bottom of my heart, is to just be happy.
Dreaming big and working hard can be exhausting sometimes.
I dont want to see myself one day as victorious but unhappy.
I want to see myself smiling regardless of where I am and what I have in life.
I want to work on something not because its for my future but because its for my happiness.
I dont want to worry about where Im going.
Because being in my dream city wont guarantee me happiness.
I need to learn to embrace the joy that comes from within.
Happiness isnt defined by tall, sparkly buildings that illuminate the city skyline at night.
Its not about the job designation and the paycheck that comes along with it.
Its not about having a lot of friends but having few people I can always count on.
I dont mind if I live in a very simple world.
As long as Im in the place where I can immediately find peace.
As long as Im doing what Im passionate about.
As long as I get to see the person that I love every single day of my life.
I want someone to kiss all my worries away and hold my hands to make me feel safe.
The person whos unapologetic and never pays attention to what other people have to say.
And I want to smile at the world Ive created.
