I have been feeling struggling with unhappiness without knowing the source. Rather, I know the source but I prefer not to divulge it just yet. I know, some people might regard me as a crazy person having intense mood swings and such. It’s a good thing I haven’t tried Prozac yet (soon I will). However, I found and formulated a better way of getting over unhappiness. Of course, I could not have formulated this without conversing much with other people and trying to find out how happiness works. I created this treatment that runs for exactly seven days. One week of trying to be happy and nothing else, this is the ultimate objective. This is what I coined as “Operation Happiness.” (Yeah, I’m trying to sound like a professional counselor here which I am totally not)
Operation Happiness Day Fucking One: Smile, but not too much and not too little.
Operation Happiness Day Fucking Two: Don't ever short-live the happiness, never ever. Short-living the happiness invites loneliness and depression to a free-for-all feast, with you as the main course.
Operation Happiness Day Fucking Three: Bad thoughts should be banished. If banishing such thoughts are not possible, just hide them all under the sheets.
Operation Happiness Day Fucking Four: I don’t want to hear the truth, just tell me something beautiful or good to hear.
Operation Happiness Day Fucking Five: Say your apologies to yourself, since you treated yourself worse than you would do to anybody else.
Operation Happiness Day Fucking Six: Chant the mantra over and over again, "Happy Happy Fun Time," until you wear it out.
Operation Happiness Day Fucking Seven: Happiness is a choice and a style of thought. Simply put, choose happiness and forget everything else.
It would be best not to skip a day on the daily dose of happiness. Omitting a step would render the whole regimen highly ineffective and futile. On a lighter note, happiness is something that is completely elusive. No one can really catch the whole of it, a part maybe. One of these days, I would create happiness in a bottle and joy in a pill and such won’t be illegal to peddle. In addition, it would be BFAD and FDA approved! It will be coming soon, very very soon.

The Writer Within
A tanka for the writer that I would love to be but never will be:
To you who wrote here;
The pen flows to the tempo;
Don’t you feel the rush?
Continue to scribble and write,
Until those words come to life.
