  2. Happiness is when wealth surrounds you. In my native tongue that would translate to #Olayinka. #lovelypeice

  3. Happiness is as a result of ones actions and efforts, it isn’t ready made. Happiness is being excited just about the thought of getting home after a long day,and face timing that one person who’s smile makes you smile. Happiness is that tingly stomach feeling you get when you meet someone for the first time and do something to them you always wanted to do, like pull their cheeks or shake their hands. #HappinessIsGold
