Photo Essay - Happiness


Even in such a diverse world, many people share the same goal: happiness. Happiness is defined by Oxford Dictionary as “the state of being happy”. Since this definition is vague, it allows each individual to create their own definition of happiness based on their personal experiences. Throughout my life, happiness has always been a reachable goal that I set for myself in any new situation. My happiness is a constant in an ever changing world. To me, happiness is a combination of many things: the love and familiarity of my family, seemingly insignificant things like the shining sun that make each day better, and the freedom to make my own choices. My photos are arranged in the order in which I recognized the happiness each aspect of my life has given to me. From a young age, I have appreciated my family and the love they have for me. A few years ago, I recognized my love for the outdoors and the sunshine, and the energy and fulfillment it gives me. Only recently, as a new adult, am I grateful for the freedom to make my own decisions and to live my life in a way that makes me happy.
