Doctor: “Are you ready?” As he asked me the question I sit in front of him with a sense of hopelessness. My sadness is visibly shown through my posture and facial expression. At once I focused on what was about to occur. “Yes, please inject me. I need it more than ever.”
What if this could be possible? What if we could walk into a doctor’s office and ask for an injection of happiness. We would make weekly, monthly or yearly visits in order to make sure that our pain, and stress and frustration all disappear within the matter of a few minutes.
Of all the times we feel self-conscious, angry, disappointed, and stressed it would be nice to just call up a doctor and put in a visit. Obviously, this is not possible. We can continue dreaming but we can’t spend too much time doing so because we would waste away our life. We have to take initiative to provide ourselves with a sense of happiness. Think about all the little things in life that can make you smile: a hug by your brother, a little baby giggling, making a joke and having someone else laugh, watching a comedic show, reading a book, expressing your thoughts on paper, etc. There’s also things that not only make you smile but that make you feel good: like dancing, exercising, talking to a friend on the phone, remembering childhood memories with a loved one, accomplishing a goal, etc. Think about all those little things that inspire you to live life. This is a way…the real way, that we can inject happiness to ourselves.
"Thanks Doctor. See you next time."
I never thought of this concept!
ReplyDeleteI really liked this post...especially because I can relate, or anyone can relate, because everyone feels or has felt those emotions: self-conscious, angry, disappointed, etc.
I like the ending sentence too! This sounds like it could be turned into a book. Get on that, Homie J. HA HA.
Awww you're too sweet. I'm glad you enjoyednit. Thank you!
