Happiness

Do you want happiness /b/? Do you want the secret I have used for years just to cope? It is very simple. Be happy.
Cute girl isn’t interested? Be happy. Cat died? Be happy. Fail exam? Be happy. Just be happy. No matter what happens, tell yourself that. Be happy be happy be happy. Smile as you spend another night alone, when you see the one girl who might have made you happy in someone else’s arms. Against their lips. Smile.
The mind is quite a powerful thing and if you keep this up long enough soon you will truly convince yourself that you’re happy. You can go to and from school or work or college and no matter what happened that day, you’ll still be happy. Only in the early hours of morning will the reality of it start to sink in, but you can just ignore this. And who’s around to see your facade fail at two in the morning? No one, because God forbid they see the sad, self loathing person you are behind the mask. No, mask is not the right word.
Because it is not just a mask of a smile that you keep up, any one could do that. What this ‘mind over body’ stuff does is create true happiness, so long as you don’t think about it. You can go about your day and be genuinely happy, with this new cheery demeanour you can have friends again, and maybe there’ll even be a girl who starts to show interest. You’re actually happy. Until you are home of course, at two in the morning, with no friends or cute girl to keep your mind off itself. That is when you start to remember how sad you are. You have time to think about everything in your life, and you remember why you shouldn’t be happy. But of course the next morning comes with a whole new set of distractions and you can feel happy again.

It’s two in the morning /b/, and I feel like dying.
