"Happiness is one tear away“

Do you remember the slogan "Happiness is one tear away“?

Yes, it's from Shreck 2 Movie. Fairy Godmother‘s card.
You have to cry and drop one single tear on it, and you will find your happiness, of course with the help of the famous Fairy God Mother. :-). But that is only a story, a nice and beautiful one. And it tells us something.

Are we happy?
Am I happy?
Do we need someone to make us happy?
Do we need the fairy Godmother?

Sometime when someone asked me, “are you happy?” I was stunned.
Not because I don’t have the answer. A simple answer such: “of course I am happy. I have a lovely husband, beautiful kids, what’s not to happy about?” will make the other party quiet.
But that kind of question will force us to look into our heart, and pass the question to our self, our deepest heart, “Am I happy?”

Happiness is a matter of heart.
We don’t need someone to give us our happiness, although the present of our loved ones will make us happy
We don’t need anything to make us happy
Beautiful jewelry, fancy car, beautiful home and other material things are sure will make us happy, or at least for some of us
But they won’t last….
You sure still be happy without them….

It’s all in our heart
I am happy with what I have now
Although I know I had some failure on the past and still have plenty to gain
Although I know my son had Language difficulties at school
But I am happy that I able to provide him a solution
I am happy with what I am doing for my family,
Although I know it’s far from perfect
But I know I am doing the best I could

Being happy it’s not about being perfect
(Although being perfect is sure bring us happiness  - but no one is perfect, right?)
Being happy is probably about accepting
Accepting who we are and what we are
Accepting what we can do and what we can not do
Accepting us as we are

Like Mariah carey said on "Hero":
There's a hero if you look inside your heart
YOu don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
And the emptiness you felt will melt away...

When she loved me

when she loved me
Sarah mc lachlan

When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
And when she was sad, i was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy, so was i, when she loved me.

Through the summer and the fall, we had each other, that was all
Just she and i together, like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely, i was there to comfort her
And i knew that she loved me.

So the years went by, i stayed the same
And she began to drift away, i was left alone
Still i waited for the day, when she'd say "i will always love you."

Lonely and forgotten, never thought she'd look my way,
She smiled at me and held me, just like she used to do,
Like she loved me, when she loved me

When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful,
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
When she loved me.

Lyric from:go2lyrics.com

Gue suka banget sama lagu ini dari awal dengar. Salah satu soundtracknya Toy Story 2 kalau gak salah inget. Dan gue selalu inget lagu ini kalau gue lagi feeling blue, sad and down. Like exactly right now.

When somebody loved me.
It's pretty clear that love bring happines, beauty and warm. And on the same time, hatred and envy bring evil to live.

Gue tau, bohong banget kalau gue bilang bahwa gue gak pernah benci orang. I did ever hate someone. Tapi biasanya sesaat. Dan biasanya terkikis sama waktu, yang bersisa cuma akward dan kaku kalau pas ketemu. But the negative feeling already gone. I just tried not to be involved too much.

Dan sekarang gue ngerasain gimana rasanya di posisi orang yang dibenci. Even being treated as an enemy. And it hurt so much. After all this years, after all I've done, after all the love I gave.

I don't like being hate. Nobody does. But I can not make everyone loves me, can't I?
