Minah Lee/Happiness/Tue9AM

                  I cannot say that I'm not happy now, but I have some moments that I was truly happy several times in my life. They have some aspects in common and those are something special, free from worries and related to people.

             Looking back my life and reminding of some happy moments, I usually bring up some special events, such as when I was traveling abroad or getting accepted from university. I find happiness from things that are rarely happening, however, going home and meeting my parents make me so pleased since I cannot do those often as well.

             I can't think of happiness if I have any concerns with me. If my grandmother is sick or there are difficult assignments that are due sooner or later, I couldn't be able to concentrate on anything. In a state of peaceful and calm, I should be absolutely free from concerns so that I can truly enjoy things ahead of me.

             My happiness lies on relationships. I tend to feel happy more when I'm with my family and friends. Most of the time, just hanging out with them, not doing anything special relieves stress and gives me energy. With people I love, I become brave and the feeling that I'm loved raises my self-esteem and confidence.

             Happiness is contagious and addictive. Being happy is not a hard thing to do if we try to see things in a positive way. To meet a true happiness, try to make everyday special with no concerns and have a good time with nice people.

  1. Your essay has a logic of happiness. And you explain these with your own experiences. Theses are very interesting to read.

    If you write more about on your introduction part, I think your essay will be more interesting.

    Good writing!

    1. What I like in this piece of writing is the 4th paragraph which explain the cause of happiness related to relationships. I totally agree with your idea.
    2. Your main point seems that we can find our happiness within relationships and thinking positive is also important factor of happiness.
    3. These particular words or lines stuck me as powerful:
    To meet a true happiness, try to make everyday special with no concerns and have a good time with nice people. I think this statement is very interesting !!
    4. In conclusion, you said Happiness is contagious and addictive. In my opinion, you had better to add more supporting words of this sentence.

    Thank you for interesting writing!
