Being happy seems like a complex task, but for me it boils down to very simple and direct things. If you ask me today if I'm happy, I'd say yes, although with some reservations, because happiness isn't a perfect and unchangeable state, but rather a sum of moments, health, and loved ones. Perhaps I'm not completely happy, but I try.
What truly makes me happy
My greatest source of joy is my family. Knowing that my loved ones are healthy, seeing my children thrive, and having the blessing of waking up each morning to a new day fills my life. I recently experienced one of the greatest joys of my life: my son graduated from high school. Achieving this milestone, despite all the challenges along the way, showed us that together, as a family, we can overcome any obstacle.
Being happy also means valuing the present and being grateful for health and life itself, which are the foundation of everything.
Between Reality and Dreams
However, it's also important to acknowledge the difficulties. Living in a country where shortages are a daily reality—where basic services like electricity, water, and gas fail—takes a toll on anyone's peace of mind.
A job should allow us to live comfortably and with dignity. When income barely covers food and rent, stability becomes an uphill battle. Owning a home is a cherished dream that would bring profound peace of mind.
On the other hand, justice also brings peace to the heart. Seeing progress toward justice in our nation and dreaming of a normal country—where the priority is the well-being of its citizens, with decent wages and the freedom to travel and explore our own land—is a hope I hold onto.
Choosing Happiness Today
Despite the hardships and the constant struggle, I choose to be happy today. For me, happiness isn't about ignoring reality, but about finding refuge in the love of my family, celebrating every small victory, and keeping alive the faith that better days are coming.
While we continue building that desired future, I will be happy with what I value most: the health of my loved ones, our unwavering bond, and the gift of seeing the sun rise each morning. Don't misunderstand me; I'm not saying I'm not happy or that I don't have moments of happiness, but my happiness will be complete when I achieve some of the goals I've set for myself.
