A happy marriage begins with your own feelings about yourself. If you have a positive outlook on life, then you are likely to share that happiness with others. Whatever your outlook may be, you can always work towards becoming the kind of person you would like to be. Knowing and working on yourself and your own happiness is the first step to finding happiness in your marriage.

Happily ever after.. God bless us..

When i was 5yrs old, my mom owes told me that happiness was the key of life. When i went to school, they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. I wrote down “happy”. They told i didn’t understand the assignment and i told them, they didn’t understand my life.

My heart. My life. My soul. My princess. • Griselle Bella Ping •

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever…- Isak Dinesen

DEDICATE TO MY MOM..

PAULIE: Beautiful Things is about how awesome I am.
SARAH: Not really.
P: No? I thought it was about how cool and sexy I am and how you should be my best friend and send me money based on the aforementioned qualities.
S: Uhm … not really. Beautiful Things is about connecting to others through basic emotions; lifting the veil of individual identities to see that we’re all the same, deep down, because we’re all alive and we all want to be loved.
P: Is it?
S: Yup.
P: Hm. Well, it’s not like I’ve read it. 
S: You haven’t read it?
P: Nope. You haven’t mailed me a copy of it yet.
S: I thought you’d read it all. 
P: I’ve only seen what you’ve put up online. Oh, and all those letters that people wrote to me — I read those. Pretty good, I have to say. Well, some were creepy.
S: Which ones?
P: Like, the one on the passport page? What the fuck is that? “Hush Hush”!? — we don’t like that.
S: Ha, that one’s pretty good.
P: Not from my standpoint. Now whoever got murdered because of that note is going to be traced back to me cause I touched it and it’s now slathered in “Paulie did it”. Such an idiot! I know better than to open stuff you’ve mailed to me.
S: You’re overreacting.
P: I am not — I’ll end up in the slammer!
S: I don’t think so.
P: They’ll reopen Alcatraz just to get rid of me. And that place is haunted. I’ll get ass-raped by ghosts!
S: It’s just a note.
P: ASS-RAPED.
S: It’s fiction.
P: Are you sure? Do you know who sent it? Can you trust them?
S: Don’t worry about it.
P: I will. I’ll worry about it all I want, thank you.
S: Okay, have fun with that.
P: Thanks.
S: But, ass-raping aside, Beautiful Things was started in 2008, though I didn’t have any plans then to make it into a collection, let alone a book. That was decided in Dec 2009, and the whole thing was put together from Feb to May 2010. It started with the stream-of-consciousness vignette “South of the Euphrates” which I wrote up-side down.
P: That one’s about one of my good friends who I haven’t seen in about … two, three years now. She’s clinically depressed, like I was back then. “All the sad things you used to say about your life … ” I hope she’s doing better. I miss her.
S: As you may have guessed, Beautiful Things is from Paulie’s POV.
P: But I didn’t write any of it. 
S: No, you’re terrible at creative writing.
P: That I am.
S: Paulie’s my alter ego, a “young man very much in love, but also very sad.”
P: I am sad, aren’t I?
S: Yes.
P: Sad, but hopeful. Then again no one’s really happy — it’s just a world of those who have hope and those who don’t.
S: This is something you see throughout the book. It fluctuates between being hopeless, or “dark”, and having hope, or being “happy”. That’s all you can really ask for. Unless you refuse to be conscious of the state of the modern world, you’re likely to be a little grim. You can be “happy” in ignorance.
P: But who would want to do that?
S: A lot of people, it seems.
P: Hm. That’s sad.
S: It is.
P: What’s with the title, by the way? 
S: The title comes from the idea of beauty meaning truth, and ugly meaning ordinary. It’s like, we don’t live in the fabricated world that our media presents to us — we’re not all beautiful movie stars and good guys in novels; we don’t live in plots and with contrived symbolism and foiled characters and wrap-around irony. We’re ugly in the sense that we’re complicated, without those logical A=B idiosyncracies that we often give characters; we’re contrary and messed up and some parts of ourselves remain secret and unknown even to ourselves. So we’re these ugly, ordinary people that are very real, and it’s this reality that’s the truth, and the truth is beautiful because it’s real. In the end, it just means that whatever happens to us that is true and felt and makes us alive is beautiful. Besides, no one wants to hear stories about beautiful things happening to beautiful people. It’s boring. Beautiful things that happen to ugly people is a theory of reality for fiction — as little fabrication as you can get away with.
P: That’s because you take a lot from your own life, right?
S: Yes. I think that’s the next question, actually.
P: Oh, okay. Let’s get to that, then.

I love this..
