We need to stop complicating life.
There is so much negativity in the world. Wherever you go, you’ll see critique and pessimism. People are just never happy. Nothing is ever good enough. No matter how hard you try to achieve your goals, there will always be something that stops you from being happy. All this happens especially if you’re a “glass half empty” kind of person. People fall victim to sadness and depression very easily. So what if you couldn’t make it to your dream college? It’s okay if you failed your driver’s test for the third time. It’s okay if you’re losing friends. Everything will be okay.
We need to remind ourselves how life is so much more than these petty problems. Life means more than school, job, and hanging out with friends. Happiness can be found in even the smallest of things if one chooses to truly live in the moment. We take these moments for granted, but when we look back at them, we realise how lucky we really are.
So, if you were feeling kind of low today, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some photos that prove that it’s the small things in life that truly matter:
1. “My daughter’s reaction to seeing a ballerina for the first time”
2. “So we used a head massager on my girlfriend’s dog…”
3. “I bought my nephew a ball pit for his first birthday.”
4. Celebrating your best friend’s birthday.
5. “Didn’t know if the fireworks would bother our autistic son. This was his reaction.”
6. Happy with his lettuce hat.
7. “My nephew challenged me to spin him around as fast as I could. I tucked my phone in my belt to capture his reaction.”
8. “Set my GoPro up next to some crumbled cheese in my garden…”
9. Such a bright smile.
