The Remedy Begins With You
The happiest moments are born
in the quiet spaces
the ones that begin
when you learn to smile
simply by being with yourself.
For if you can laugh
in your own company,
without needing another soul
to awaken joy inside you,
then perhaps
you have found
the healthiest kind of living.
To love your own time,
your own silence,
your own presence
and from there,
to share that same smile
with those you hold dear.
The ones who respect you.
The ones who truly see you.
The ones who know
how to make your soul smile.
With them,
there are no forced grins,
no dark sunglasses
to hide quiet sadness.
Even when the sun forgets to shine,
their presence feels like warmth.
And that, my dear,
is where healing begins.
To laugh without needing a drink,
to dance through life
without depending on escape,
to say, “I am okay being myself.”
Quiet, perhaps
yet still able
to light up a room,
to make others laugh
simply by being you.
And in the right company,
when you are unapologetically yourself,
they wonder
“How can you be this happy
without even being drunk?”
Because true happiness
does not come in a glass.
It comes from loving your surroundings,
cherishing the little moments,
and discovering that peace begins
the moment you realise:
You are enough,
exactly as you are.
