Happiness

Basically there are people and sounds in my life that complete me (aka make me happy) my family, my friends, and music. When I am near my family, I am the happiest. I love my family. My family is so random, funny, NOT quiet, kind of pushy, and very lovable. Here is how it goes in our home. First off, there are my parents. It's like they say in My Big Fat Greek Wedding: "The father is the head of the family, but the mother is the neck, and the neck can control which way the head turns." Yes, that basically defines my parents. My dad MAY think he is the boss, but it's always what my mother says that goes. Then there are my little siblings, my little brother, Matthew who is 14, is the clown of the family. He's always the one cracking jokes in the family. He is just the funny outgoing slash daredevil of the family. NOW, my little sister Selinna, who is 13 years old, she has some issues: she's a major BRAT! Never, I repeat never come over to our house when Selinna has just woken up; because you will actually, get to meet Satan himself. She always has an attitude, but in-spite all of that, I still love her. And for myself, I'm the eldest, I am the one that gets blames for everything, I am the first in our family to attend college, and the one who has to ALWAYS set a good example for my little brother and sister. This takes care of the main part of my family, and I'm not going any further into the rest.
The other people that make me happy are my friends. My friends are my comfort zone, my security blanket. I'm usually with at least one of my friends every day, and if I'm not...then I've probably already talked to them on the phone, or at least communicated with them in some way. I love all my friends, and I hope to never lose them.
Last but not least, MUSIC! I love music; I can listen to any genre music. Music is the best thing in this world. It's hard to explain how I feel about music, but all i know is that no matter my mood, music is there for me to listen to.
So far in my life, the only thing that I can think of that I can do to bring more happiness into my life is to stop caring what other people think of me. I've actually gotten better at not caring what others think about me, but it does still bother me. I'm aware that sometimes, it lowers my self-esteem. So I plan as much as I do now. What people think about me is their own decision and to make my life happier to not care I choose to not be concerned about what I cannot control!

I love what you wrote. Your family sounds alot like mine. Of course my family are all grown up now. Everyone is on their own, but I remember those good times when it was just us kids with Mom and Dad.
We all miss those times.
Enjoy every single moment you have with your family, because things do change. You will find out in life is that your family will always be there for you, friends do come and they do go. Everyone has their own path, your family is like the North Star, they remain constant.
