There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human - in not having to be just happy or just sad - in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time.

“You’re my
happiest hello
You’re my
saddest, painfullest,
most heartbreaking goodbye”

There is Happy In Your Eyes

— Nick Hornby

“You don’t ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It’s all about survival; it’s all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in.”

— Bette Midler

“The worst part of success is trying

 to find someone who is happy for you.”

— A few reasons why I’ll always prefer living by elsablt

“I am happy when I eat fresh fruit, when I burst out laughing, when I discover a new song, when I finish a good book, when I wake up and feel relaxed. I’m glad to have friends, family, a home, food when I’m hungry, hot water when I shower. I love being able to live and see the seasons change, to have gifts at Christmas and at my birthday, to travel sometimes, to have a good education and a great access to culture. I’m flattered when people compliment me, when people smile at me, when people are polite to me. There are so many things that make life so simple and easy and I will always think about them more than all the bad things that will happen to me. I do not have time to be sad every day and ungrateful; I have every reason in the world to be happy.”

— William Phelps

“The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others.”

— Carolyn Hall, 17 Thoughts for Single Women From A Divorcee

“If you’re under 30 and in a relationship right now, and you’re not head over heels, get out. You are way too young to be wasting your time with someone who doesn’t make you really happy to be with them every day. There’s nothing sadder than watching 23-year-olds settle.”

8. Set healthy boundaries in relationships.

9. Keep on dreaming, and invest in your dreams.

10. Let go of worry and anxiety.

I don’t know if I can survive that.

I’m scared that if I let myself be happy for just one moment, the world’s just going to come crashing down. And I don’t know if I can survive that.

— Alice Munro, Dear Life: Stories

“The thing is to be happy,” he said. “No matter what. Just try that. You can. It gets to be easier and easier. It’s nothing to do with circumstances. You wouldn’t believe how good it is. Accept everything and then tragedy disappears.”

"The first day we met, I knew something amazing was about to happen… and it turned into a once in a lifetime kind of love… I feel so blessed to have found you to be part of my journey in this crazy thing called life… You’re the one I want to start each and every day with, you make my world a more magical place… And I only want to be loved by YOU for all eternity."
