HAPPY!?

I used to feel like it was my responsibility to create happiness, not for me! For others, that was pretty naïve of me (as I judge myself). It never seemed to bother me at first because, at the time, I adopted a savior complex (outchea looking like a solution), Yeses!

When you are young, the world does not seem as shitty as people perceive it (give it time). I come from a loving and supportive family, if I ever experienced lack it was a result of economic factors. I grew up being appreciative of the little things and most of the big ones too, not to be too humble or anything but there were things I took for granted.

I am not perfect… but trust me, I speak highly of myself.

I have always known that I am an emotional and highly empathetic person (a strength that is a weakness). From my childhood days, I would share just about anything with anyone, without expectations.

When I did not receive the same energy back, I would not necessarily get worked up about it but I would feel disappointed. As a kid, one could not easily comprehend such, I mean… feelings and emotions were raw, it was an unfamiliar sensation.

Instead, I would carry on being who I naturally was. I have never been one to resent someone for longer than a day (no bad VHAAAABz), I deserve peace of mind, especially if I gave you a piece of me.

Being sympathetic in such situations felt normal (I was too much of a grown kid), a majority of the wrong doers in my life did not deserve that level of compassion I provided but I dished it out anyway (the boy was a buffet).

Through my years of aging, I began to understand myself a little more in terms of how I react and process feelings and emotions. I then came across this concept of emotional intelligence, immediately I thought it had something to do with mental abilities or some psychic woohaa.

According to Daniel Goleman, there are 5 key elements to it: Self-awareness; Self-regulation; Motivation; Empathy and Social skills.
