Why can't we be happy?

We all strive to reach our goals. Our dreams. Sometimes it feels like were just all trying to reach that point when we can start living life rather than catch up to it. We all wish that we make it to the future where happiness is suppose to greet us in open arms. That desire that the world would make sense maybe when we’re older. That hopefully we would of found the one and know what it’s like to be in love. That we would have that job that brings us so much joy and excited to wake up everyday. That just maybe, in the future, we might feel a bit less loss than we do right now.

But that’s the problem. That we’re always to concentrated in reaching happiness. Like it’s a far off distant thing instead of realizing that happiness can be reached at this very moment. That our dreams can come true right at this moment. And that love can be found right now. That everything we desire is possible without having to wait years from now.

We envision a future of perfection while forgetting that we live in an imperfect world. There will always be hardships. There will always be many times when we feel loss. Sometimes I think we just use the future as an excuse of not trying to find happiness right now because were too afraid it doesn’t exist…that were striving for something that not even there. But tell me, wouldn’t it be amazing to be happy while on our journey to the rest of our lives?
