 What's happiness? 🤔 ♥️🎨

Happiness is a deep and complex state of mind, difficult to define in a single way.
For many, happiness represents an inner balance, a feeling of fulfillment and serenity that comes from being in harmony with oneself and the world.
It’s not merely a fleeting emotion, like temporary joy, but rather an enduring condition built through meaning, authentic relationships, the pursuit of goals, and gratitude.

Happiness can have different meanings for each of us: for some, it lies in personal and professional achievement; for others, in love, family, or feeling part of a community. There are also moments of happiness linked to discovery, experiencing beauty, connecting with nature, or enjoying art.

Finally, happiness is also the ability to welcome and accept moments of difficulty, recognizing that they’re part of life and can teach us something. In a way, it’s a subtle art: learning to find light in small things, to live each moment fully.

For me, happiness is love and art. ♥️🎨
