Can happiness truly last? Happiness, joy, and peace often seem fleeting compared to sadness, grief, and pain. In the past, I've always seen birthdays differently because they're meant to be special. I'd envision my birthday to be a day filled with laughter and joy, from the moment the clock ticks midnight. I'd prepare mindfully to make it a beautiful day, despite all odds.

I'd make an intentional decision to be happy, and my attitude on that day would be so positive, making it one of the best days of my life. But when the candles are turned off, the birthday singing voices fade away, and the birthday posts disappear, I begin to feel gloomy and wish it had lasted longer. I'd wake up the next day feeling normal, not so excited. I realized I'd been anticipating that one happy day among 365 days in the year. So what about the rest of the 364 days?

I want to capture the joy of birthdays every day. Isn't every day as important as the day one was born? Some things have to change. While I don't have the power to control everything, I have the power to change my choices and attitude. I've learned that on my birthdays, I've always chosen to be happy, and that's what made those days special.

Every day is a beautiful day with its imperfections, but with the right choice and attitude, you can have a happy day. I want to have a happy day every day. By choosing happiness and maintaining a positive attitude, I can make every day a celebration of life.

I want to be happy every day😊
