The happiest day

This week my teacher asked us to write something about our happiest day… 120 to 180 words…

All my classmates started to say their happiest day… Graduation, Wedding, First kid, something else related with a pregnant woman… Whatever… I decided to take one of those ideas to play safe. I am not pregnant, I’m single with no kids but, at least, I got a bachelor, which is a good topic to talk about.

The problem is that I don’t think my graduation was my happiest day. I mean, I was proud of myself and watching my family and my best friend clapping at me made me happy but it wasn’t the happiest day, I insist.

I’m finding difficult to define my happiest day.

Let’s talk about relationships. I had had three relationships some moments we live were nice but not happy. In the end, we broke up. That means none of them were, in fact, happy.

Then, I thought about when my cousin told me she was pregnant. I was excited but I’m not going to write about that… It’s somebody else’s.

Happiness itself is really difficult to define. Some days you can feel in a really good mood, some moments are the best thing that ever happened to you but do they make you happy?

I don’t want to sound pessimistic because I am not. I just don’t know the meaning of that word.

I’ve asked my friends about their happiest day and most of them seemed to have a clear definition of what it was. I started to panic and then it came…

I remember when I was in Universal Studios (or Islands of Adventures, still don’t know the difference about them) with my two cousins playing in this water neighbourhood, which looks like a fire station. We played, we danced, we laugh… We enjoyed that much that it’s impossible to write about it without a smile on my face.

I think the most important moments of your life came from the simplest things. In my case, playing with them remind me my childhood and how much I enjoyed playing with water. It could be. Something simple, something meaningful, that’s how happy works, from my point of view.

What’s your happiest day?
