You have started searching for happiness from the wrong places. Before you really become happy; learn how to develop self-love.
It will work out only if you make yourself happy. Never let your happiness depend on anyone. Even if you think of any special person being your sunshine; make sure you already have your own sunlight.
I remember talking about this controversial topic explaining why happiness is a choice.
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” —John Lennon
Where Does Your Happiness Come From?
It emanates from yourself then you are going to overcome any unpleasant situation within a short period of time.
There is only one person you can entrust your whole life into his hand. I’m talking about the creator of heaven and earth. God is the true source of any good thing you deserve on earth.

You must stay close to people who make you happy and worthy. Drive away any negative thought that surfaces in your mind. You just have to distract yourself for about 30 minutes.

Step outside, enjoy the air, have fun and cut down all the stress. You are responsible for your success and anything that you allow to have a significant impact on your life.
