This was our first real date, and she was seated on my right, holding a big coconut while I sipped on Coke and water. Then I asked, What makes her happy? “I just make an effort to be happy, I just have to be happy,” she stressed.
Then she went on to tell me something she once heard someone say. “So what makes people happy? Because when you are poor, you think getting money will make you happy, but the rich know money does not make you happy.” “So for me, I don’t think it’s material things that make you happy, I think you just have to decide to be happy and make an effort towards that,” she said, smiling while focused on a group of guys somersaulting from a distance.
I picked up my camera and told her I was going to take pictures of the guys since they were the reason for this whole conversation.
