And what is not defined is that happiness can come in all forms and sizes. Happiness can come from sipping a glass of hot chocolate on a cold day, completing a project that you have been wanting to do for a long time, making millions, getting their dream cars or spending time with our friends. It could be anything, you just have to know what you are looking at. I suppose when people are happy, they tend to take things for granted and they will always want more. It is human nature after all. Throughout the years, people are becoming more competitive than before. So much that we forget to just slow down and smell the roses. 

Happiness. That is something we can all work on continuously. We may lose track of ourselves and our goals in the midst of chasing after illusions of comfort and happiness. Pressure and unfortunate events make us spiral into the abyss of darkness. Cold, quiet and lonely; with no way out. Flailing around would not help us stand on our feet again. All we need, all we really need is a spark. A spark of happiness that could light up our lives, even just for a bit.

As for me, my source of happiness is his contentment in himself and his life. We both got what we wanted in the end although his happiness was not caused by me. Still good enough to be my closure to move on. And this guy's cartoon blog (http://iamboey.com/1710). Mmm, Boey.

So what makes you happy this Chinese New Year/Valentine's Day? :)
