It can be difficult to connect with such people, especially if our brains are wired oppositely, or if we train our minds to see and feel a sense of happiness despite whatever challenges we might be facing, or have overcome.
Today, I felt happy, and I went happily on a walk, to see some of the things that make me feel happier — the happy colours of autumn, and the happy sight of nature.
Even though I walk these same paths every day, I see things with fresh eyes, as I'm always fully immersed in the moment. This walk made me reflect on my first autumn, many years ago. I was so affected by the cold that I failed to see the beauty in the changes of the season and everything that surrounded me. Since then, I have embraced the season as it's a constant reminder of all the changes I have been through and all the changes that are yet to come, as that's life.
I'm happy with my positive way of seeing life, and I'm still optimistic that there's a way to make people who see life negatively, find light. It is possible, right?
I know it is!
I've come a long way by owning and dealing with my troubles, removing thorns to appreciate petals, that take on different shapes.
There's nothing as beautiful as trees; leaves, branches, and roots.
Strong roots.
Being among the trees — My Happy, reminds me that I need to be strong despite what blows, storms, and turbulence I feel.
Keep swaying, and bending and be as resilient as a tree.
Sometimes I feel like I'm going through the wilderness, like a maze with no way out.
I always keep going, blooming, shedding layers and tears until I find my way.
I have walked this street before, mainly because of this humongous tree, which my camera hasn't done justice.
I feel safe and protected by its magnitude, and I look to it for answers, but it guides me back to me.
How I see life, depends on no one else but me. I have to create the life that I want for myself.
Nature is a flower, a tree, a shrub, and a plant. Nature is life; the gift of happiness, or at least, it is to me.

PS. I'm always questioning life, trying to understand the psychology of the way I see the world and how others view the world. If only I could inject positivity into others, I would, but I know that the mind is the powerhouse that we need to tap into to find our light, our inner peace, and our path through trials and tribulations. Still, I'll continue to do my part through my words here, with the hope that my words can touch someone and maybe make them feel some light. 🙏
