The Side Effects. [Happiness Continued]

Would you buy bottled happiness?
The answer is yes to many who are unaware that they are buying it in the first place.

Let me get deeper into the rabbit hold than I did previous post.

* If you are reading this but haven't read the last Happiness post... start there because this will make sense... but then won't.*

In despair we purchase happiness in a bottle at the cost of our hearts.
See.. when you down and out... you have no form of happiness and no will to generate it naturally. Therefore happiness seems impossible to grasp.

Until....

Someone walks up to you with hope held in their hands asking you to grab onto it.
Having hope leads to happiness and happiness leads to love.

This is actually where you just purchased your happiness in a bottle and took massive sips. It taste good. trust me it does... has a nice cool refreshing feel and now.. you are ready to take on the world...

but don't forget to drink a bottle every morning now.

Get it?

You were given something when you felt you had nothing.. now this has became a routine. Drink some... take on the world. Fall on ya face.. go running to the source.. drink more.... bounce back and you ready again.
Now its a cycle that you can't escape.. until you get it through ya head.. you are responsible for your own happiness and NO ONE ELSE WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY UNLESS YOU ARE HAPPY WITH SELF FROM JUMP.
These words are even making me notice how foolish I have been in the past waiting for happiness in a bottle.

Now... you keep paying with ya heart.. and ya soul.. thinking you owe this merchant something every time. Why? Well who else was there for you when you were down and out? Who else was there for you when you couldn't see a brighter day?

To be real there are some who sell happiness in a bottle free of charge.
They come rare though but they do it for free and never expect nothing back.

I know of one..
she's a sweet voiced lady whos always telling my I'm too cute to cry.
And never has expected a thing back from anyone she reached her hand to.
Never reminded people what she did for them to make them happy.
And one who does this because of love.....


But isn't it wild how those who claimed to be there for you
always on some next shit like
I WAS THERE WHEN NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE!
i CAME TO YOU WHEN YOU WERE IN PAIN AND I HELPED YOU!!!

Twisted right?

Beware of those who come to you when you are on your last leg...

I call these false merchants...

Opportunist.

Lurking in shadows waiting to befriend the weak at heart and mind so they can build onto it. It's rather sad.. but someone hollow would only do that shit.

Do you know of someone like that?
Are they handing you happiness in a bottle?
Are you still taking sips?

Think about it...

and then spit it back out.

You are on step closer to having your own happiness.
