Trapped by the past and loosing hope to get away with this. i always seek for help, but i my self doing nothing. I am afraid every time the sky covered with darkness. Crying out loud that soon brightness will come and embrace me with his joy.
My Angel said that i should not let sadness conquer me. That I, the one, who is responsible for my own happiness. I asked my self what is happiness? How can i find happiness if I my self doesn't really know what happiness means??? Am I too blind see and appreciate all the things that was given to me? Am I too numb to feel the love that touches me? Am I deaf to hear the music of hope? Or did I already surrender my sol to sadness and forever live with it.....

Hope many would say no.Wise will say happiness is within you,but practically you need some wisdom to feel it.To be always sad is a habit.The mind is always running ahead us.It expects a lot from others.When it is denied it becomes sad.If you want to be always happy do not expect anything from this world.You keep doing your routine.It is so simple to be happy always.Good Luck.

its normal to be sad sometimes. but would you agree if i say it's a sign of weakness. cheer up and move on. true happiness lies on one's preferences. if you prefer to stuck on your past it's up to you. so go on and be happy! enjoy here in mylot.

I know how it feels to be trapped in the past. It's like you can't move forward because everyday when you wake up, you think about it and you cannot start anew! It controls you no matter how hard you try not to think about it..
Whenever i feel like I'm stuck and cannot go on, i find 1 reason why i should stop thinking about it and start smiling.. I pray and i keep in mind that happiness is a choice. If i choose to be happy then i will be.
Whenever I'm complaining that I'm alone and lonely, my friend always tells me that i can control my emotions. I can control not to be lonely. She site blinking as an example.. That we cannot control our eyes from not blinking because that's the way it is, our eyes blink. But our feelings, our emotions we can, only if we choose to..
YOu will feel numbness of love and you will be deaf if you choose to. Even if you surrendered your soul to sadness already, you can still always take it back.. You always can if you choose to..
God Bless!=)

I'm guilty about these, More often than not, I always dwell on my past that's why I can't see the beauty of the present and the future..I think what we can do to be happy is to stop restoring our the past, try to cut the string that links yourself from your past, let bygones be bygones, as what the saying says. So cheer up never runaway to the future, and I do believe we have a bright future ahead of us..enjoy!

It is sad to know that you are in that perspective. The fact that you are still alive is reason enough for you to be happy. We always think happiness in its biggest meaning. Happiness is everywhere. It does not have to be big like winning the lottery or having met a prince. Happiness can be found in a small way. The sun shinning, the smell of the flowers, butterflies flying around. Try to find joy in every thing you do. Be thankful for everything. Concentrate on today, forget about the past and let tomorrow worry itself. A smile as soon as you wake up makes a big difference.

thank you. Now, I can confidently say I'm happy of who I am today. I do now appreciate little things around me that I was so blind to see it before. Now, I'm happy with my friends, family and with my partner who is always there when i was at that stage. Thank you for your advice. Happy mylotting, Jules.

I did asked for His help when those moment I almost gave up. Now, I'm happy because I become much closer to Him, Accept Him with all my heart and with just one snap all my burdens, worries are gone. Thanks to Him. Thank you so much for the care you showed upon me despite that we are both strangers. Thank you.

First question..why are you sad?
Cause sadness means lack of something or someone in your life..
So what do you don't have that make you sad?
If you fill that emptiness that you have then you will be happy.
But if your hearts has holes and no matter how you try to fill it it won't be full.
...
So first ask your self why are you sad.
Then try to answer that question..
....
And you will be happy.

Hi!
There are questions that are hard to find. Right now, i can say that I'm sad. Lots of questions are not been answered, an issue who keeps hunting me and blocking my way to find the right path. I guess i have to open my mind and heart to find true happiness and it's not easy for me to reach these. I guess i have to be away to find my self. I know being happy is a choice and sadness is a habit.
Thank you for the response.
Ciao!

Yes I am happy at the moment. I think you need to take a step back and think about the small things in life that make you happy.. because there must be some things that do! Like, if you enjoy spending time with your family, do that as much as you can! Then find activities that you enjoy doing, and do those as much as you can as well.
Although, if you actually think you're depressed, you should go to see a doctor about it, as they might be able to give you something to help. A visit to see them wouldn't harm at least.

Hi Simonelee. We are all just alive once. Let's make every heartbeat count. Be not afraid to be who you want to be. Happiness is something that should start within you. If you start relying on others for your happiness, you will never be truly happy. Happiness is letting the small things matter- the hug of a friend, the "i love you" of your mom or dad, the company of your sisters. You have all the reasons to smile and to be happy :) Life is too short to waste my dear. Make most out of life! Make most out of yourself and be who you want to be!

AM I HAPPY?YES!!!!Cheer Up!!!!!Why what's bothering you? Why are you so afraid?
"Trapped by the Past and loosing hope to get away with that"Do not let your past hold your present!
PAST means FINISHED,present means TODAY. You don't have to go back to the past because its already done. God made TOMORROW for us to let go what was happened yesterday, I don't say you totally forget,but you MOVE ON. What is stopping you to move on?It's hard? try to stand, try to walk away from sadness.
Sadness is eating you, you're letting him eat you, Think of happy things, Smile, Cheer up, forgive..
True Happiness is when, you are alone but you are smiling and Glad,
True happiness is with God, who is the source of all, ask Him to enlighten you, Give to HIM your burdens, cry it out to HIm.

Happiness is the key to demolish sadness.BEING HAPPY makes one always feel reachable to anything out in the world.Sadness sure would knock the doors when happiness is inside but opening doors would let happiness engulf sadness no matter how big it is.
BE yourself remember good times,forget the times you failed in doing your deeds think of your loved ones and their comments about you.Happy Life indeed.

Am I happy. I guess I have to ask myself
with that question several times before I
can give a honest opinion. Based on my present
situation at present I can only say that I'm
just doing fine. I'm not happy in a perfect sense
but contented I guess.

I think i am a happy go lucky guy.Not because i am bornt that way but i chosed to go that way.Being happy and smiling most of the time will be resulting in goodness quality in life.Why be sad and emotional for the whole day and week and month?That will be making us weak since the negative ions are getting to overpowered the positive one.Try being a happy person and face every troubles with a smile,you will see things start to move smoothly and without a doubt your life will be great!

I am happy for sure.Recently I have just scored 4A's for my finals and should i not be happy must be something wrong with me.I always chosed to be happy most of the time because that will reduce the depression in me and i would not be stressed easily.When we are happy, the negative ions are overcomed by the positive ions and we are less likely to get sick when we are always smilling and being happy!After all life is short and we can't waste our life just like that by being so emotional and sad.
