Balloons are happy sometimes

There are days in which our lives our filled with happiness and solitude. It's like we wake up with a balloon and we can either fill it with air or we can leave it empty. On days we fill it with air, we give opportunity for it to be popped. It's quite easy really, to have your happiness completely deflate. So other days we leave it empty, worried that by filling it with hope and expectations will only lead to being let down. But doing this doesn't help either. Because regardless, a balloon can still be damaged. We can pull and tug at the rubber until the pieces rip apart.

Our feelings are similar in a way that they are just as fragile. 

It's easy to pop a balloon with something sharp, but tugging a little here and there will take more time and diligence to destroy it. It's takes something really forceful to destroy a person that has strength. Having hope and happiness is a strength, in the same way that air makes the balloon stronger.

So we may wonder whether it's worth it to try, whether it's worth it to keep going. But, if we were a balloon filled with air we could fly. Wouldn't that be worth it?
