Happiness is something that a lot of us struggle with nowadays. It is an abstract thought of feeling pure joy or in some cases "weightlessness." Everyone has their own idea of happiness since it is an abstract thought, but this is my insight as to what I think happiness is, how you can find it, and how to enjoy it.

Happiness is that feeling of watching the sunset.

If you live life without watching a few sunrises and sunsets, I don't know how you could live. At this "golden hour," you really see the true beauty of nature and the world. It is where everything is at peace and it almost has a calming effect. Another beauty in it is you are taking part in watching the world either wake up or go to sleep.

Happiness is a pet.

My two pugs mean the world to me. Recently having a procedure on my eye, I came home in obvious pain and was upset. My oldest dog came running up to me and put her head on my leg as if to say, "It's okay," and this made it all better. Being able to have that companionship and best friend is what keeps some people going every day.

Happiness is that feeling when you take a moment to look around at all of your friends together, hanging out and having a good time.

I don't know how many times I've done this, especially at home with my childhood friends. There is just something about having everyone in one place, not going on cellphones, and just enjoying each others company.

Happiness is something that you find within yourself.

This is the biggest idea of happiness I have. Being a college girl and growing up with social media, it all affects how you see yourself and feel about yourself. Social media is something you have to ignore in order to find your happiness. I struggle with this at times, finding myself going on Facebook and Twitter all too much.

But in order to truly find a happiness within yourself, you need to focus on only yourself and your life. I believe that all it takes is simply a love for living life. Put the phone down, take a look around, and just be happy from the inside out.
