A life lesson on finding happiness:
I used to think the same way... that I would find happiness if I had a great boyfriend, a great job, or something else in life. I looked outside myself, rather than inside. When I looked inside is where the real work began. And then I found happiness, all on my own and without external influences or means.
My job is not perfect, my relationship is not perfect, and my life overall is not perfect, but I am generally happy because I am happy inside.
