What makes me happy~

Deena said, “Make a list of three things that makes you happy. “

Why? My main problem is, I usually don’t know what’s the reason behind my smile, or my tears.

Sometimes I tend to laugh out loud at everything, even when my doctors said directly to my face, you don’t study hard enough, I tend to just smile and take it easy bitsy.

Another time, tears of unknown etiology burst out of my eyes. Neither because of chemical trauma like cutting onions, nor emotional trauma like grieving for something loses.

It’s just of unknown etiology. Which lead me to this whole confusion. Why am I being depressed, sad, and down all of sudden? And Deena will be my only choice to talk and cry on the phone. She will be confused as well when she figured out that I don’t have any specific reason to cry. “You must at least know what’s going on in your mind, in order to stop your worries.” (As usual, my rock n roll babe words of wisdom always worked! J )

That’s so right. Knowing what’s in your mind. Knowing everything inside there, will lead you to gain the happiness you’ve ever wanted, and avoid unnecessary sadness that will ruin your whole beautiful day.

So now, I wanted to let you all know, what’s the three reasons that make me being one of those cool, fun, and cheerful girl. That nothing can take my way, even the harshest and most violent words or acts thrown on my face.

1)  Good foods:

Remember my last post about how I really fall in love with variety of foods? Now I know how foods really spiked up my endorphin level. Eating good foods does make my day, even during the worst situation ever. It doesn’t have to be a big feast. It can be done even with just a bar of chocolate, and a glass hot mocha. Or a slice of moist chocolate cake, and fruit salads with hazelnut milkshake. As long as it tastes good, it can make me smile full with satisfaction. Also, cooking and baking can be therapeutic indication for me when I’m tired of reading those meds books. Seeing friends or family enjoying the cake or desert I’m making can take even more pleasure for me.

2)  Travelling:

I love new places, new people, and new environment. Especially those cold winter time, it’s my favorite season of all. Travelling even just for a few kilometers from my home already can make me feel the greatest pleasure out of it. Seeing different new things does educate me a lot. It open my mind about other’s culture, teach me to be more grateful, and appreciation of Allah’s amazing creations. Also, travelling with family does strengthen the bond with each other. We laugh and play like a child together, taking crazy pictures. It’s just fun and worth to remember. One day when I get married, I wanted to take my husband and children to travel to a lot of places whenever us got a chance to do so.

3)  Family:

I’m not yet married, but I do have some ideas about the perfection of imperfect relationship. We often heard in the house, full of frustrations, anger, and sadness. But at the same time, we’ll never forget the moment of laughter shared together in the house. There are no perfect relationships, but it’ll be perfectly awesome when we do our best to keep each other happy. Tolerance + respect. By Allah’s bless, insyaAllah it’ll be perfectly perfect. This is what I learned from my mom and dad. And how I and my bros and sis become much more closer as we grown up.  

So, now that I know what’s really make me happy. And a happy thoughts always ended with a happy ending in everything… Next time, what if we think about what makes us unhappy? It might help us to overcome each somnolence day by knowing the reason.. J
