I had a lengthy conversation with one of my best friends recently about the future of my career. Whether teaching is for me now that I'm into the thick of it or if there may be another career path in my future. I also recently had a conversation with another best friend of mine about the workings of her bi-continental relationship. The difficulty of loving someone across an ocean when work and school have rooted you apart. It got me to thinking about happiness. More specifically, about what it is we are giving (or aren't) to make ourselves happy.
For me, happiness means being with Ben and having a family. It's truly all I can hope for out of my life. Not a career, but a family. It's funny though... I always said I would never have kids, but it's true what they say - when you find the right person, you reconsider.
What it comes down to is that happiness means doing whatever it is that you want to. Happiness means sharing what you love. Happiness means having the freedom to make choices for the sake of yourself, rather than the world, a career, or other people.
Here's to chasing our happiness. Cheers.
