Best Time, Right?

Best Time, Right?
I’ve been told time after time that these are the best years, the discovery years. And from time to time I believe those who tell me, because something really amazing happens. But then again I find myself frequently questioning that phrase.
Although these are the best times as I know them now, I am pretty sure I will look back in 15 or 20 years and realize that these really where the best memories I will probably ever have, and that I will regret that I didn’t realize that now. I will probably regret not knowing that these where the best times, even though I have been told over and over again that they in fact, really are. No, I am not convinced that I will be happier as I grow older, but I also don’t think that I will be less happy either. I believe there can be common ground that you are neither happier nor sadder can’t you be equivalently happy all your life, and the memories are the only thing that changes the capacity of that time in your life.
Happiness is something you have to create yourself, in my opinion. You have to make your own fun and I believe that is what makes you happy. Surround yourself with people you love to be with not people that make you feel uncomfortable or awkward, otherwise are you really being you or is it just a mask you put on to be, or what you pretend to be. It doesn’t take much to make me happy, someone who is a real person, a person that can make me feel good. Happiness is achieved by hard work, and persistence.
