“How To Stay Happy” After reading the title some people might think what is this suddenly I am writing about, but some people might get a ray of hope that after all the unpredictable things happened in their lives they might get a chance to stay happy. So if you think that this is a very intellectual article and I am writing all those points about how to stay calm and happy when your world is spinning around, then you can just scroll ahead.

I had been so down from the last month like I can’t just figure out what to do, how to live properly because of all the things that happened in the last month, so all I did was just rot in my bed and scroll down. Although I really wished for someone to be there with me, to talk to me, to make me feel better but eventually there was none. So as I was just scrolling down, I came across a reel who’s title said ‘How to stay happy in life’. I watched all of it out of curiosity thinking there might be a person who’ll speak and tell about how to be better in life, some actual genuine person but instead it was just a random person holding a cup of coffee in his hands and there were 10 big written paragraphs in the description of the reel. What i felt was that I am already reading books despite that am not going good yet you’re showing me a reel that doesn’t at all make a me good. Instagram better knows your algorithm but it can understand your heart.

Anyways after watching it all I realized that there might be a lot people like me in the outside world who are willing to become happy wholeheartedly but just doesn’t know the process. My process is not just a 10 step, 11 step routine that you need to follow in order to make yourself feel better but its just a life lesson that you majorly need to know about.

Recently I had been feeling very low because a very close person to me just left, and I don’t even know if they’ll come back ever or not. I had been feeling all the depressed feelings and I can’t do anything about it. I was so stressed because of this that I even got an anxiety attack, my hands started shivering all of a sudden, my head started spinning and I was having a severe pain in my throat, I went to washroom and started crying, I literally couldn’t do anything about it and it happened for 2 days. For the 2 days I was in a very bad state of mind, but then I realized even if cry for a whole year that person still won’t return, I tried and tried and finally taught myself that nothing could be done about it now, there’s nothing that can be changed now. I genuinely wanted a person to hug me, to console me, to talk to me, actually I only wanted to talk to that person only but they had gone, gone so far that they would never return.

I cried a lot, but after that I told myself that I will work so hard, that even if I never meet that person again but they’ll also know that I am something. Today also there are days when I don’t feel like doing anything, just cry and cry more, but all I do is look more ugly. I am indeed a strong woman but I choose to write this because I realized that there are people like me who would love to be understood just once by their whole heart, who would once in their life want to hear that they are lovable, but sometimes it just stay as a wish only. A wish that none even knew about, not even their own family. So there’s a hack whenever you’re feeling low and have none to talk about it, just write all your feelings out, instead of keeping them inside and then overthinking about it all time, just do journal. Eventually while journaling you’ll feel better and trust me one day there will come a God’s angel who’ll read all those journals of yours and try to understand all the pain that you went through. I have also been waiting for this day to come. One more thing, just try to accept things as it is they are. Writer, thinker, and telling different lively stories. The art of noticing people, especially when they are at their lowest. trishamahajan162@gmail.com
