Pursuit of Happiness

How can I find happiness, is a question I always ask myself. I yearn for it to the brink of obsession. People tell me "keep smiling, at some point it will fool the mind. Making you believe you are trully happy." I always laugh at that statement. I honestly do try to remain positive, but then something or someone gets in the way and ruins it. How do I preventyself from getting overly sensitive? What can I do maintain a positive energy. Am I not destined for happiness? There is so much emotions I am experiencing right now. I'm filled with anxiety, dejection, fear, amger. I can't stand this negativity. I know that most likely no one will read this, but just someone out there who understands what I'm going through. It's hard not telling your feelings to your loved ones when they can't even relate to you. Hope someone out there can help though. I've suffered with this for over 6 years. I want to get out of this rut. If your reading this thankyou. I hope you have one or two smiles in your day <3

I know the feeling and to be honest, to only make myself happy, i started doing what truly made me happy. If i wanted to go shopping, i went even if i was broke...i did things that made me happy because tomorrow isnt' guaranteed for anyone. I expressed my feelings openly and freely and even if it came off as me being an "itch" i didn't care because i wanted to express myself. Once i was comfortable enough with being who i am and enjoy doing what i REALLY wanted to do, i was happy...i know this may not be what you are lookign for but i hope it helps
