WHEN THE OTHER SHOE DROPPED
<p><br/></p><p>I was Once happy.</p><p>When I decided to write this piece, I said I'd write it in a way that no one will be confused</p><p>In a way that people won't be trying to denote the meaning of my words in the comments</p><p>Because if people can't understand you, have you really passed any message?</p><p><br/></p><p>The first sentence may surprise you but it's the fact</p><p>And sadly it's in past tense.</p><p>Happiness now seems like a fairytale to me, something so far fetched and so out of my reach.</p><p><br/></p><p>The thing is, when I was happy, I was also a Pessimist.</p><p>And that was the beginning of the end of my happiness.</p><p>I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop</p><p>I always thought to myself; "Truly I can't be this happy all the time. I'm so scared. Surely, there must be a catch".</p><p><br/></p><p>I forgot that the type of happiness that comes with a price is the type of happiness you get from the Devil.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>You know what they say; the Devil doesn't Bargain.</em></p><p>I forgot that I was Jesus' baby.</p><p>And that my happiness was from God and I shouldn't be expecting it to end.</p><p>But before I realized the extent of my pessimism, my thoughts became a reality and the other shoe dropped.</p><p><br/></p><p>When the other shoe dropped, it dropped so hard and landed right in the center of my head.</p><p><br/></p><p>It was an 8-inch Louboutin.</p><p><em>Yes, ouch.</em></p><p>And it left a huge scar.</p><p><br/></p><p>But, I'm ready to be happy now.</p><p>I'm no longer a pessimist.</p><p>I'm ready to align my thoughts with happiness but...</p><p>Silence. Nothing.</p><p>Why is it that at the time I'm ready to experience happiness, it evades me like a plague?</p><p><br/></p><p>I can't even tell you what happiness means but taking inspiration from a piece my friend wrote, I think it's a state of being. </p><p>Why am I struggling to align my reality with that state of being?</p><p><br/></p><p>Tips?</p><p>Oh wait, before I ask for tips, is anyone truly happy?</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
