Thank you, 50 Cent, for writing those lyrics so I can use them for as a metaphor for my life.
So, I watch a lot of TV. It's one of the things I do to keep myself from remembering I'm unemployed. And, I noticed that this week it seemed like all of the shows were all about "choosing happiness." So, I started thinking, is it really that easy? Can a person CHOOSE happiness? My friend Brian really thinks you can. Last time we talked, we talked about choosing to be happy for like, a half hour.
If you're reading this, it's likely that you know me pretty well. And if you know me, you know I've been kind of out of my element for a few months. OK, several months. It started before graduation when I realized I had no idea what I wanted to do and only got worse from there. I could go on and on about how I've dropped most of my friends, or about how my love life has been nonexistent. But you know what, I don't want to any more. I've made choices. I know who I care about. The people I care about, I talk to and see as often as possible.
Christian, are you going to wrap this up or at least make a point?
Yes, I am.
What I'm saying is, I'm going to be happy. Right now, that's what I choose. If I'm sad I'm just going to smile. Supposedly, if you just smile you will be happy. (You can read about that here.)
Thanks for making it this far.
