B
When I was small, my mum always told me, “I just want you to be happy.” But what exactly is happiness? Is it a place, or a never-ending journey?
Is happiness on social media? It sure seems that way. People love sharing perfect pictures online. But going through posts on platforms can actually make you feel worse about your life. They mislead people into thinking that others are better off. ★. Meanwhile, a study shows that people spending over two hours daily on social media are twice as likely to feel lonely.
But what if we’re the ones posting? When we share a happy moment, we get excited, but after a while, we return to feeling the same as before. Happiness only lasts for so long, and when it ends, we set out looking for new happiness. And social media has made this search harder than ever.
Happily, there’s still hope for us to find lasting happiness. This happens when we allow ourselves to feel and deal with emotions like anger, disappointment, fear and sadness. It’s not easy, but when we are honest about our experiences, we build deeper and more meaningful connections with others. And those friendships bring us smiles that last much longer than any number of “likes” on a screen!
March 20th is World Happiness Day. Take it as a reminder that trying to be happy all the time is like trying to catch a unicorn(独角兽)—it’s just not going to happen. Instead, focus on your own journey and accept the different emotions you’ll feel along the way.
