Sometimes the means to obtain contentment or joy seems like a lot of ask. But as I have come to known, it doesn’t take a lot to be happy. Possessions, pleasure, and forgetting of the sorrow may not exactly be the way to go about it. I have been down that road a lot of times, trying to escape the melancholy and indulging in pleasures. That does not help, believe me, if not, it will only drag you further down. The only way to achieve contentment for me is in little things. One of the main is, if I know we will be having chicken for lunch/dinner that gets me in the right mood. Or when the rain pours down, as you’re in your room, and you grab a book, or play some games, or listen to the music when rain hits your window.
A couple of days ago I rode about 70 kilometers, and I felt so
much joy, it made me forget about almost everything that holds me back. Today,
I was coming back from Koteshwor, and the rain just poured out of nowhere. I
put on my visor to shield myself from the rain. As I did, I screamed in joy, because I
was just happy as the rain crashed into my body and made my existence a bit
praisable. And my scream was concealed by the visor, but my entire body felt
its vibration. My mind received the signal that today was a good day. My
mental health probably thought, “Unlike other days, today was a good day at
work,”
I guess what I am trying to say is that joy may not be in
the most superficial things. It may be in the catching of breath after an
intense run, or at the laugh of your favorite person (who did you think about
when I said favorite person? Leave in the comments re kya. Just kidding) you
don’t have to search for contentment. Most likely you won’t find it if you
have to look for it.
I won’t post this link on Facebook, so if you read it on your
own. I wish you all the happiness in this world.
