westerners are obsessed with the idea of happiness as if it’s a constant state of being. happiness comes in moments. you dont “achieve” happiness. you experience it along with every other emotion on the spectrum. if you spend your life chasing this constructed idea of happiness you will never even be remotely content. work on being whole and feeling everything while increasing the happy moments. stop trying to be a “happy person.” just be a person.

Thanks Britney
Why was she there to begin with?
my burden to bear is a love I can’t carry anymore.
“she was mistaken for a sea goddess and accepted it without question; she led an army to war as though it were her due and she did it all without ever apologizing for the lives she takes or the lies she tells and when she betrays sparrow with a kiss—he hisses ‘pirate’ because what else could she be?”

how about you quit moping around and feeling sorry for yourself and instead get off your ass and eliminate all the negative entities in your life and start doing things that make you happy and surround yourself with people who make you a better person. remember that the only person who can help you is you
Food doesn’t taste better or worse when documented by Instagram. Laughter is as genuine over Skype as it would be sharing a sofa. Pay attention. Take in nature, hold someone’s hand, read a book. But don’t ever apologize for snapping a photo of a sunrise after a hike, or blogging about the excitement of having a crush, or updating your goodreads account. All of these things are good and should be celebrated. Smile at strangers on the sidewalk and like your friends’ selfies. It’s all good for the human spirit.
