the girl..

You can hear her laughters from so far away.. her childish innocent full of energy laugh.. its not a giggle.. its a laugh that comes from ... from the heart.. a jar was in her hand ... crystal clear .. warm from the reflection of the sun .. or was it her heart's warmth that made the glass so warm..?

She ran after every butterfly.. they flew around her.. on her golden hair that was brushed by sunrays .. she'd raise her hand .. holding the jar and they'll fly back to it.. and curl .. closing their blue and pink and green and yellow wings.. covering their shy eyes ..

Who said happiness lasts.. ?

it doesn't !



One day.. they found the jar empty .. had a salty crystalized feeling on it.. legend says that once upon a time .. happiness was forced to leave the jar.. she wept .. she swore to fill the jar with tears..

until....

why was the happiness forced to leave the jar? and "until..." ..what? what's the ending of the story..

this is life, u seek answers for unanswerable questions.. it's true that happiness doesn't last; that's because the human being's mind is unstable, always changing.. for what is happiness if not a state of mind?


keep smiling sweetheart..
*big hug*

i had the same question on my mind: why and who forced happiness to leave the jar?

u cannot trap happiness in a jar; it's not meant to be there. happiness is a ripple - it swiftly moves from one heart to another.

am smiling.. am fine.. no worries at all..

it was just a phase.. i had that trapped in my mind.. to a limit i could smell the surrounding.. the heat of the sun .. everything.. well call me a weirdo .. :p

Just one thing.. happiness can be trapped in a jar.. in a heart.. in a soul .. in a world.. its trapped isnt it? ;) that happiness was trapped.. the only thing that made the girl laugh and smile were the butterflies.. her source of happiness no longer existed once the butterflies left for no return..

seraaph.. we always debated on whether happiness is a state of mind.. remind me again.. what were my points? :p

until...? i dont know.. u be creative.. :p
