Part of the quote said that one is going to realize it someday that happiness was never about a job or degree.

“You're going to realize it one day - that happiness was never about your job or your degree or being in a relationship,” the post of Celeste quoted from an American author said.

“Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you; it was never about being like the others,” it read further.

The prose by Sparacino then concluded that happiness is not in the hands of others, but rather it’s how one lives his life.

“One day, you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that your happiness was never in the hands of others. It was always about you. It was always about you,” says the prose as posted by Celeste on her IG Stories.
