Trying to be Happy

 Hey!
It's not easy to be happy. I'll admit that. -Sigh-...
Midterms, helping at home, disappointments, and more. I feel that it's much easier to be depressed and sad than happy. But who wants to be upset all the time??
 No one. But... then why is it so hard??
I'll come back to the happiness thing in a second. First I wanted to share something about me: I love Nechama Cohen. She is my favorite singer. She composes all her songs. One of her songs is about being happy. Here are the lyrics:

Inside Out

I heard from a smart guy the outside is just a lie

When joy is not flying in your heart you can’t start to soar

You gotta live life to the beat of your soul,

It feels right when it’s not just a show anymore

I, I wanna try

I, I wanna fly

Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out

It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out

When you find that spark in you that shines like a glowing light in the darkest night

Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out

I heard from a smart man it’s not about running around, you’re just running away from the pain you’ve found

You gotta live creating the joy you’ll have,

Music’s playing inside though you hear no sound

I, I’m gonna try

I, I’ll find a way to fly

Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out

It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out

When you find that spark in you that shines, like a glowing light in the darkest night

Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out

Though it’s not easy to find that feeling of elation

I’m gonna search from deep inside and follow my intuition

I know though the instant is fast, it won’t last very long

Day by day, ill take it slowly from the inside out

Until I’m strong

Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out

It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out

So bright like a shooting star across the black sky, shining rays of light

Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out 

Inside, inside out

Here is the music video:

Hope this song affects you as much as it did me.

Keep in touch,
