What I Posted for my Self Publishing

The way I see it, happiness is a factor controlled by the individual and the individual only. It is something that people often let others control or have control over. A wise woman once told me in a time of anger, "Dominique rarely give anybody the ability to anger you. For once that is done they have power over you." It wasn’t until I really sat down and thought about it, that I realized how very true she was. When we as people become involved in relationships with others, especially those that we become so fond of, a majority of our happiness becomes dependent on that other person. Thus, in the end destruction. Destruction because when that person is no longer around, we begin to experience feelings of being incomplete. There becomes a feeling of emptiness, a feeling of loneliness and ultimately a feeling of sadness. Hence there is not happiness present whatsoever. Happiness is one of the few things in life you have a second chance at. It is one of those things to where if it went wrong the first time it can definitely be changed and worked out again for the next time. However like said previously, it is up to the individual. No one else. Closing, happiness is in the hand of the being and whenever in doubt, just takes the next small step. Go with the flow and as always prepare for the most horrible, yet hope for the best.
