What is life without love? What is love without money?
I'm not trying to come off as one who is materialistic but rather, I'm being realistic with my happiness and I'm grateful that I've been living my life that way, enjoy the happiness I know and expecting nothing big to steal my happiness away.

"To be happy" depends on the individual, you decide how, when and why you want to be happy. Relying on anyone to be happy would be a mistake no one should make but reality hits and we are reminded of how we rely on little and big things done by others to make us happy.
Life is good, life is fair to some and unfair to some but one thing I've come to love about my life is that, I have enough love to keep me happy. I mag not have grown in a home where love overflowed as a complete family but I definitely had all the love I could possibly have from my dad and I'm still enjoying it as I go on with life.
Yes, my family (love) are a source of my happiness.
My first definition and recipe to happiness is the fact that I tend to always feel grateful about the family God blessed me with and keeping them in good health. Not many got to or are able to enjoy the love in a family, I did and my whole life is influenced by it.
The smiles, the jokes, the little gifts, the celebrations together, the cries together, the pains we share together to overcome and stay stronger... All that are a source of happiness I can not trade with anything in the world.
What is life without love? for me is same as what is life without family? They make life much beautiful but I know there are exceptions to that from some experiences I've read or heard about, too bad. Well, for me, my family are a huge part of my happiness like the prompt suggested and I'm grateful for this happiness.
Money can't buy love but money can make a love stronger and limitless.
I want to believe there is no arguments to that sentence, because if you'd see how the world runs, you'll agree that money saves a whole lot of situations even in issues of love and relationships building. I love money but never to the extent of having it illegally or to the detriment of my own happiness.
Is it just me or a bank alert lightens up your bad mood too? 😅
I could even get well if I get a money alert when I'm sick, money is that way and I like the smiles I get when I earn my money by myself, hard earned money give much happiness and I'm a testimony to that.
I would be sad if I can't assist my family when they are in need and that makes me want to grow my wealth and assist in every possible way. I see that as a limiting factor to my happiness but it doesn't stop me from being happy especially with the fact that I'm working hard to get rid of such a reason.
So yeah, love and money can be counted as my happiness recipe. I have many other ways to stay happy and I love my life for that.
