Light not so illluminating.

Pssst. She was wrong. I know that.
We told her that her words were beautiful, that her poems were nice.
In truth, she really did need to go deeper. Some of the phrases were pretty and elegant and honest, but I wonder if she understands.
She was wrong when she said that wanting to be happy is being selfish. It's Not.
Everyone deserves to be happy. As long as it's done in an appropriate way, seeking happiness is the great, best thing.
You have to value yourself. You have to think, 'I deserve to be happy and I will find something in my life that makes me happy.'
Maybe she was bitter about someone's happiness leaving her out of the picture. But, then again, it was never meant to be. Maybe she was jealous of someone else's happiness.
I strictly censor my speech around her. I'm just used to it.


So, if you ever happen to hear someone implying that a person who wants to be happy is only thinking of themselves and is really selfish, you will know better. Or, at least, you'll know my opinion on the matter.

    Here's a quote:
    “Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.” -Anonymous?
