2024-10-29 19:42:56Often we measure happiness by something big that might make us feel better than others. We think a luxury, great rank, top position and money can guarantee our happiness. But not so. Happiness is more than that because happiness is not determined by the material but by the heart.
Happiness includes many things, even the smallest things like sunny weather and love songs can be happiness. Not big things like diamond rings, expensive brand-new bags or popularity like idols. My happiness is just something small, something enough to make me smile all time. My little joy is being able to stay aside the people I care for and see them smile.

But Natty was just fooling herself. Helena only considers her a friend because her love belongs to Alex. Even if Alex already has someone else in his heart, it is still impossible for her to get Helena's attention because Natty knows Helena is a homophobic. “You're not going to that club right? I feel a little bad about the way she looks at you. It would be wrong for her to like her students, but to love her girls ?! That's so disgusting, she's the worst person in the world! Promise me you won't join that club again. “ Replied Helena with her exaggerated attitude in expressing her frustration. it is complex for Natty to hear the words of Helena who hates sexual perversion.

It is very painful for Natty to imagine what if Helena later found out about her true self? The truth about her who likes Helena, maybe the friendship

Even though Alex refuses and says he has eaten, but it doesn't affect his mother at all. Alex can see and feel how his mom cares for him, indeed he is a little too much in showing his affection, but it makes Alex felt adored. Alex also glanced at his dad who remained standing on the edge while staring at him. His father went on silent saying nothing. He looks cold, but actually, he keeps all his joy because Eddie is not someone who can express his feelings. He just stood still, watching how his wife and children ate together with joy. Eddie kept quietly hiding his happiness, I don't know what he thought, so he couldn't show how happy he was and hid his smile.
