Before I start my story, I will tell you the reason for this story, a friend of mine let’s call her Lola, kind of dear and dare to me of my life..asked

One day, what happiness means to me ?

Then I went on a memory roll back:

Being in College and having 1 more year to graduate sometimes, I dwell into my past and future questioning self, what had all these 3 years been for me, how many lessons did I learnt, how many mistakes I did, how many friends will stay with me for my life, how many would leave my story bogie i.e college’s story bogie in this whole journey of life. Such questions come on to my mind. But in the end it all breaks down to one bit:

“AM I Happy with all the bits that I experienced ?”

→ Well for sure, I am happy that I got to enjoy this fragrance of life. So Does Happiness means my college life to me..

Well a bit, like some % for sure, so now one may ask:

What is the remaining % then?

Well believe me, I don’t have sure shot answer to this, what I know is this:

Happiness for me is to build a tribe, a family of people who have qualities like crazy, cute, sweet, savvy, sexy, mad, smart, brave and whatever mix of good and bad qualities you just name it.

Are these only the qualities I want in my people, no nothing like that, the main pt is if I have a connection, a buzz is there in the bond then I will do my best to serve and accept the person with all their flaws along with all good in them. (Well it may not be easy but we will make it work together.)

Maybe being an optimist I will want to make you look at your goodness more than your flaws, but surely the tribe will improve while growing in the bond.

So does happiness mean to create a tribe or a family for me ?

Yup that’s 50% of the big picture..

Let me share what is the rest 50%, well I don’t just wanna create a tribe, but I want to live my people’s dreams in some aspect, (If people allow me to.) with them and create a dream of my own, a strong story with a purpose bigger than my own existence.

So this is what happiness is from my perspective:

To create a tribe or family and live my people’s dreams in some bits and bytes, finally the last bit of my happiness is to create a story of my own fulfilling a purpose bigger than myself.

One last question I would like to answer which I asked while coming to the above solution:

Do I need to reach somewhere in my life to achieve this happiness ?

→ Nope I believe happiness is a journey and comes in bits and pieces, every piece is what I need and am learning to be grateful about. Its sine curve in all perspectives with more than 1 peaks or 1 troughs

Thank you for reading. Let me wrap up with the Moral for this experience.

Moral: Happiness means different bits to different people, live with your happiness, if someone doesn’t know about the bits by which your happiness is enriched, share your side with them and accept everyone learns in time naturally. Let the magic happen and I wish that you live this journey of happiness as a process which has no endpoint and surely is not a one time thing. Sankyu(Thanks) For reading.

Yours sharer Yuvraj.
