what makes you happy?
is it when you get everything you want?
is it when you meet your lover?
is it when you have a lot of money?
is it when you get an A?
is it when you win an argument?
is it when you see a rainbow?

anything is possible to make us happy
it could be small things, or it could be big things
it could be complicated things, or it could be simple things
it could be common things, or it could be rare things
we never know

seeing a stranger smiles at you could make you happy
getting a glass of water for your dad could make you happy
feeding a cat passing in front of your house could make you happy
cooking a sunny side up by your own could make you happy

then,
were you happy?
are you happy?
will you be happy?
