What is happiness?

WARNING : THIS BLOG ENTRY MAY BE ODD,AS I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT VERY SERIOUS STUFF.I WARNED YOU.
So,what is happiness?We were having this discussion in English when we were told to read a poem called "Happiness" and answer questions about it.Since then I've been thinking about it a lot.It's different for some people,but most girls in my class said that it would be being with their friends and family.I would say the same but there's more to it for me e.g. being at home alone and being able to sing and dance with out feeling like a freak,listening to a song that I really love or reading a book that touches all my emotions.I know people will be saying "She's too young to think about these things,or have a proper opinion."That annoys me.Older people thinking that just because we're only entering secondary school and our teen years,we don't think deeply and ponder and that things can't move our souls and make us feel weak and vulnerable........sorry.I had to get that out,because so many people have looked at me weird or rolled their eyes when I say something I think is important.I do think deeply and I do truly love some books and songs because they remind me of what I've got and others don't have.......or what I don't have and others do.I might make out a list of my favorite songs and books and poems and put them here so you can look at them....whoever's listening.So,I'll make the list soon and put it up here so anyone can look at it.Bye! xxx Lorna xxx
