Misunderstandings can lead to something so painful. Happiness can be taken away so quickly. But yet if people try to work things out and just try, I'm pretty sure they can find it again. Happiness is a funny thing. Because it can be in any forms. Really happy, like nothings wrong, but you know, that can't always last. Or maybe it's the happy where it's just 50/50. Your only halfway there. Or the most painful one where your just partially holding happiness. That one hurts so much.
If people were happy once before, it goes on with the saying you can do it again. It may be different, but nothing ever stays the same. It changes. Like us. And by how people change, then their happiness will change, right? But if people want to be happy, then they can make it happen. It may take time, but if someone is truly commited in trying to, then I can think they can be.
But with misunderstandings. Maybe perhaps other people don't see how hard you try to be happy. And when things start to fall into pieces, then that's what causes the pain. Because the situation is like the other person thinks differently. Even if they wanted the same thing, they try differently, or have a different pace of how things are to be wanted. That's so hard. Because if they're both working towards the same goal, then it's going to take time and they should work together. At least make a compromise.
Happy New Year everyone! It's the Cambodian, Laos, and Vietnamese new year this week. :D It lasts for 3 days, longer than the American version of New Years. It's so much fun and so festive around this week. It's in April every year. Sadly I forgot the date, :( but it is always around the 20th something.
Every year at this time, my parents get ready for the event. They get food out and clean the house, etc. Normal rituals. Then they set out the food for the dead. So when we sleep, it's kinda as if were telling them to rest in peace, eat up, and just yeah, enjoy the treats we give them. It's fun in a creepy kind of way. Haha.
One of the optional things to also do is to make a visit to the local temples. There, you go and give some food to the monk, I think rice but I'm not 100% sure. And then you do some kind of praying. That's suppose to give you good luck for the year or whatever, I'm not really sure because every time I do go to the temple, I always just run off with my friends to hang out since we don't go to the same school. lol It's like a gathering. But it's fun!
Laos New Years^
