Are you Happy?

Are you Happy?

Everything has three sides.

First, the good side, so the next side...well, you guessed it, the bad side. How about the third side? I say the unknown.

But isn't there only two sides, being happy and being sad, you can also call it the black and white, its really that simple. Or not...?

I guess no, there is always this grey area in everything, no matter you are happy or sad, there is still the centre point where you just can't make sense of what you feel and certainly unable to translate those 'I think I feel happy/sad' into our 'feelings', because you simply don't understand what sort of feelings are you having at that moment. So I guess calling it the unknown is quite suitable huh!

Actually what I am trying to say is about the Ferris Wheel and Tears.

Many people say the Ferris Wheel meant happiness, love, dreams and many more positive things, but is it so?

To me, the Ferris Wheel meant more than that, other than all those happy things, we seems to forget that the Ferris Wheel has ups and downs. Yes, downs.

When the Ferris Wheel gets up high in the air, it meant happiness, but when it comes down, it just simply meant otherwise. The Ferris Wheel is the reflection to life, just like our life, we have ups and downs, and when there is ups, we feel happy, when it reaches the ground, it meant sadness, but how about when the Ferris Wheel is in the middle? That is when you can neither see the view from up top or the clear view of the ground, and most people are in this centre part where they don't know what to feel anymore? Because they are numb towards living or towards sadness that they learn to bare with it rather than express it, and the unknown part widens. And at some point, you might even lost yourself.

The Ferris Wheel, when you look up, you feel small because of its size, and of course you feel amazed by it, cause it really gives out the happy vibe, the vibe that comforts you, but try observing it going round and round and round. Can you see your life reflecting in the Ferris Wheel? Can you see yourself smiling while the Ferris Wheel reflects yourself?
If you can't, then.....Are you Happy?

Tears, well, its tears so it must be categorised at the sad part...right?

Because while the surface of tears meant sadness, hardships or anything that stands for negativity. These are the time we can totally relate with tears, cause its something that only produces if you are sad.

This I can't argue, because when you are sad, you cry. Its' how people function, no doubt there.

But does tears meant the sad part, the black part? Does it have no centre point? The 'unknown'?

Tears can also be found when your are happy right? When you are touched, when you laugh so much that your tears come out and many other situations that cause you to cry from happiness.

This is already so common that I am not going to touch this part, because like the Ferris Wheel, it has different interpretations and meanings.

To me, personally I am super emotional that I get sad in a split second. Well, girls and their emotions LOL

I guess there is no unknown part here? Well, in fact there is.

Tears to me is a symbol of de-stress and is also the pathway to reduce sadness.

Yeah, I cry a lot. As what I have mentioned, you cry when you are sad, similarly you cry when you have stress, so here, it meant the 'black' part I guess.

So where is the unknown? Actually in the process of crying, your analogue button opens. It's most probably the time where you talk to yourself the most. It's the part where you are given a chance to rediscover yourself.

Throughout the process, you feel as you are nothing, so useless that you aren't worth anything. And this is when the unknown part comes in.

You will find yourself and somehow get yourself back on track, you will know what is needed to be done, you will know what words are to be said and what words are to be best if stayed secret. You find yourself.

Everytime when you are sad, you loose a piece of yourself. So it kinda make sense, cause loosing yourself is painful and sad.

So, after finding yourself, you are whole again.

It is when I can say I am Happy, not because of looking at something that meant happiness, but to seek happiness from sadness and regain yourself. The adventure you will go on sometimes to make sure that our 'me' and 'I' get back as one again.

That is what true happiness means to me, not because of someone telling me to be happy or not being of any influences by the outside world, but only you and yourself talking, trying to find the balance of yourself.
Cause the society is too fake and everyone is masked up, armed up just for the sake of being what people expected and not what you wanted yourself to be.

Loosing yourself is really scary, so if your are able to find yourself again and make yourself whole, I would want to ask you the same question again from the beginning.....

Are You Happy?
