Happiness is a state of mind?

Got up yesterday, with this dream, with random people and just me being happy, a kind of joy I have not experienced for a while.. 

Got me thinking, what was I upset about? What was I snapping for? Is happiness really just a state of mind? Decided goin to be happy today, come wat may, will not react.. And it worked..! Not only for me, but those arnd me.. Realized then hw every1 ws tiptoeing around me.. 

Just not me! M always approachable, n always relaxed, but these past few months, it ws like nw, wen I look back, I see I don't recognize myself.. I ws d complete opposite. 

I still do get upset, life throws a lot of curve balls, and it still hurts, but m goin to stick to this new found mantra, happiness is a state of mind.. I choose to be happy and so I will be, not for others but this is for myself, so tht I cn look in the mirror and recognize and like the person I see there..
