Special

 

If you ask me if being gay is a choice, I would say YES wholeheartedly. I chose to be gay. I chose not to be straight. I chose to like girls. I chose not to lie. I chose to be happy. I chose to be me. Just like you chose to be straight. Just like you chose not to be gay. Just like you chose not to lie. Just like you chose to like boys. Just like you chose to be happy. Just like you chose to be you. 

So why won’t you let me be happy? Why am I not special? Why don’t I deserve everything the world has to offer? Why won’t you share? Why don’t you care? Why can’t you understand? Why am I different?

I’m not trying to take anything away from you, I just want to be like you, happy. I just want to be recognised. I want to be equal. I only want to share the basics like love, peace, marriage, hopes, dreams. When has love ever hurt anyone? How is my love going to hurt you? Why won’t you let me love? Why are you so selfish? Why won’t you fight for me? Why don’t you love me? Am I that different from you? 

Am I not special enough?

 

Happiness is a State of Mind

Happiness. The Oxford English Dictionary defines happiness as ‘Feeling or showing pleasure or contentment’. It is also the quality or state of being happy, ergo Happiness is a state, a state of mind. Pleasure, joy, exhilaration, bliss, contentedness, delight, enjoyment, satisfaction are all words that describe happiness. No matter who you are or where you come from, the simple things in life can make you happy, instantly. Rich or poor, big or small, Asian or Caucasian, happiness is global. Happiness is all around, you just have to find it, seize it, live it and enjoy it in its purest form. So have a Happy Day, Happy tomorrow, Happy Birthday, Happy February, Happy Year, Happy 2011, and most importantly have a Happy Life. Happiness counts. Happiness gives you memories that are worth sharing with your grandchildren. Happiness is a state of mind, always was and always will be.
