Entitled Happiness

Happiness


His heart beat in erratic thumps as a huge smile graced his handsome face. He took a deep breath from the sweet air that surrounded him and his smile grew. 

He didn’t deserve to be this happy, no one did. It was a feeling of pure ecstasy, a feeling so foreign that it almost scared him.

His thumping heart began to flutter, freeing itself from any sort of grief, from any past experience that had hindered the birth of happiness. 

He looked up to the skies, silently thanking God for blessing him with such joy. 

He almost felt guilty for experiencing sheer happiness, but he didn’t allow any such thought to dampen his spirits. Somewhere in his mind, he believed that he wasn’t entitled to such wonderful ecstasy. But that thought was buried somewhere that was out of reach.

He continued to grin, allowing the blitheness to capture his entire being, reveling in the content feeling. His heart soared in cheerful delight and he allowed the feeling to wash over him, completely erasing reality.

He didn’t want to remember, he didn’t want to feel the verity of reality... But as these thoughts slowly began to infiltrate his mind, his smile began to dampen.

After all, he truly believed that he didn’t deserve any sort of happiness. He was merely a worthless pauper - or so he thought.

And that was his biggest flaw. He believed that happiness had no place in his life because he was not entitled to be happy, he only knew sadness. 

In fact, sadness had become a norm. Heartache and heartbreak were realities, so much so, that he began to believe that any form of happiness, any sort of joy, was not meant for him.

But he forgot that he was a human. With the magnitude of heartache or heartbreak he experienced in life, he was most definitely entitled to happiness.
