In search of happiness,
I piled up people and things that made me feel bliss in time and crafted stories of my own fiction.
They were my happiness down the line, but then I was confused as it was melting with the change in situation.
My mind started voicing its opinion about them in the opposite direction.
Withstanding this change, I began to think, why even after being chosen by me after careful consideration, they are not my happiness's destination?
Then I realised it, and I refrained myself from blaming all my people and things.
How can I be happy when I am carving out my inner sufferings?
It was I who sought happiness outside when it was all concealed within me.
I took a glimpse of my people and things with an apologetic look while on my knees.
In no doubt It was an extensive feast for my eyes.
They were the most beautiful icing on my life's cake.
And now the cake is flavoursome when it's baked out of the happy ingredients curated out of my own mind without any fake.
I am happy with this realisation in my life.
Now I'm in my right mind to cushily battle every life's strife.
