Wisdom #2: Compliment vs Happiness

Your happiness comes more important than compliments


The most common mistakes: you stop eating so people can say "You look so thin.", you give up your Saturday night pondering with damn books you don't even want to read so your parents can talk about your score with someone's parents, you change your clothes, you dye your hair, you talk and laugh and cry the way people wanted you to. And everytime you did all of those things, you get a pat in the head, a high-five, or just some random friendly act to show you that they compliment your effort.


You're practically spending your life to chase people's compliments, that way you can feel happy about yourself.


But do you? Do you really feel happy?


No.



Because the people you secretly look up to, the one who makes your day, the one who decides when and why can you feel happy, cannot even remember what are the exact words they told you just 2 seconds ago. And the worst part is, they don't even care.


So just be happy. There is no trigger, there is no sign for that.


You're just happy. Simply happy.
