Journey to Happiness
Television is a horrible poisoning of the mind.
My three-year-old niece watches TV on a regular basis. She can now cite each and every cartoon character she sees, and with every toy commercial we hear the dreaded phrase,
"Momma, I want."
It's sad that even from early childhood, we are bombarded with media images which idealize endless wealth, a certain kind of beauty, and accumulation of tangible items. Consumers are left with a sense of longing for what only a certain percentage of people can obtain...It's quite obvious why Americans tend to be intrinsically unhappy. We're in the pursuit of the media's version of happiness that is defined for us, instead of creating our own definition of happiness...
I am currently in the process of creating my own happiness.
There are many things that I want out of this; one of these things is to make people happy. I want so badly for people to like me, yet I'm so afraid that they won't like me that I retreat...My dream is to be able to approach people with confidence, be able to talk with them without feeling anxious, and have them love me for who I am, with no need to hide anything. I don't want to be afraid anymore...
I also don't want to have to deal with embarrassment stemming from not understanding myself and why I act the way I do...I want to be able to explain my insecurities, misgivings, etc., understand and learn from them. I don't want to pretend that they don't exist anymore...I want to be candid with people and have them understand and trust in me.
I want to be able to give all of myself to people, to have them see all of me, not just the "first impression", funny, sarcastic version of me.
I want to find who I am. I don't feel I know myself at all...I only do what the people around me think is right for me...been doing this for years, and it's sending me down in a tailspin...
It may take months, or even years, but I want happiness so badly that I'm willing to take the risks...
