Do you believe that happiness is an illusion for some?

[jennifer_bloom]

I know a woman who thought getting married would make her happy and she got married and was not happy

And than she thought having kids would make her happy and than she got kids and was not happy

And I thought getting a boyfriend would make me happy and than I was far happier single than I was with that guy

And I thought having acceptance by others would make me happy but once I got it, I realized I did not like these people or even want their friendship

I thought going to graduate school would make me happy but I absolutely hated the first graduate tutorial I did

I believe people that love you can bring happiness, loving others can bring happiness, loving and being loved by God brings happiness, nothing else does.

The only person that can make happiness happen is u and hopefully find someone else that is on or close too your level and never try to compare yourself too some else's mistakes or happiness what did not work for them could work for u u have too live life to the fullest experience everything that u can yes u could hit a wall just knock it down and keep trying find what makes u glow trust me if u want too be successful or have a family or be in love or what ever just find what makes u happy once u find it hold on to too it and ride that wave until it ends :) real talk!! 🥰!!

I could elaborate on this but the short answer is, it's not up to other people to make you happy. I think happiness comes from within..

Thank you for picking my answer JB.

It is. Happiness is nothing but an illusion for me. I had a teacher who once said that happiness doesn't exist that we only have happy moments. I was shocked when I heard it but now I know that she was right.

Adult happiness does not exist and is an illusion, you can only be happy in adolescence and childhood.

I think happiness is real
