"I don't want your happiness

I don't need your happiness"

-Happiness/Hurts

Tomorrow will be a super happy day because finals will be over.

I belong in that group of people who think happiness is a destination rather than a way of life. I don't think you can wake up and just decide to be happy. You can wake up and decide to be positive today, or to smile a lot today, or to be kind today, or to ignore everyone's opinions about you today. But happiness is not a decision. You can work hard to get the things or experiences or people that make you happy, you can try your best to enjoy the things that you have now, but you can't click on the "happy-switch".

However, there are many things in life that contribute to happiness. Maybe only momentarily, but still. For me, there are four things that considerably increase my level of happiness: coffee, Nutella, rain, and Adam's music. Even though Nutella is happiness materialized in a jar, I could maybe survive without it. The rest three things are essential for my existence.

Besides the already mentioned things, my definition of happiness include black clothes, black nail polish, shoes, sarcasm, and violent TV-series. Violent because they usually have better plots and less chick-lit. I also like walking in cemeteries.

I guess the mainstream definition for happiness is the famous "live, love, laugh". I've got nothing against those three things, but I'm so fed up with that cliché that I want to act contrary to it. Die, hate, cry? Maybe not quite. More like laugh sarcastically with a very dark sense of humor, hate everyone except people who let me call them stupid and pull the hair on their arms (because it's really amusing), and, well... zombies are kind of cute.
