Daily Small Habits I Do to Make Myself Happy In an Environment That Makes Me Sad
If there is one thing that I learned early in life, it’s — you cannot depend on your happiness on future promises and perfect scenarios.
When I first started working and making money, I fantasized about the idea that one day, I will build a workstyle that will allow me to work from anywhere I want. This way, I will live somewhere closer to the mountains and be in love with life. There will also be a library where I might go if I ever feel burned out, in case, to work from the library. I don’t think I asked for much, did I?
Besides, I wasn’t just wishing. I was ready to do the work that it takes to build that lifestyle. So I worked. And I successfully built a profession that allows me to work from anywhere at any time.
Only, God might have wanted to play a little so he changed my fantasy land from near to mountains to stay in a city that doesn’t even have a public garden nor a single library or bookstore. It’s not cozy like small towns, and it’s definitely the last place I ever wanted to be.
The worst part is, there is no way out for now. I have to live here for some reasons that are beyond my control.
Sure, it hurts to know that you have the power to build a life you always dreamt of but you cannot have it…
