“Happiness is a Warm Gun,” by John Lennon *
Pharrell Williams asks us, “What does Happiness Mean to you”
I bring this up because I saw an interview with Goldie Hawn, who is well known for exuding happiness, positivity and joy. When asked about this, her answer really struck me. She responded by saying that she doesn’t keep people around who take her happiness.
This struck me because it really is a very simple answer. I consider myself innately happy. I go around the house singing, talking to myself and Ellie. I make up stories, words to songs, just to be called out for fun. There’s an actress inside me. I love a good laugh and can be funny.
My whole point of this is that I allow Pete to take my happiness away. He has no sense of humor, doesn’t have fun doing anything, is negative and most all I don’t like myself around him.
Unlike Goldie Hawn, I don’t have the resources to get him out of my life. I have always ended relationships when they brought me down. I was working and independent. Now at 66, I can’t afford to live on my own.
What does Happiness means to me?
