One Thing that Brings Me Happiness
'One-way' love is less happy comparing to when you love in 'both ways.' Guess you found out the one you loved also fell in love with you. That must be great happiness! On the contrary, you would stop loving any longer when you failed to win his/her love. That must make you unhappy for a certain period of time. These show that it depends on 'LOVE' whether we are happy or unhappy. I believe that we can find the greatest happiness in 'LOVE.' Nothing else can make us happy like love does.
Love always appears in a relationship. You feel happy when you have a talk with one of your friends. It is because, whether you know it or not, you have friendship with the friend, which is love between you and the peer. You can find love in any relationship such as with parents, friends, neighbors, and even with yourselves. The first step for your happiness is to love yourself because relationships with others are fundamentally based on relationship with yourself. Tell yourself "I love you." I met some people who didn't love themselves much. They said "how can I love myself? Even my parents seem like they don't love me!" Ask your parents, dear friends! I'm sure your parents will tell you from their heart that they love you. Love yourself first, ask parents, if necessary, how they love you, and then you will soon find bigger happiness in relationships
Love always looks like something. Hidden love usually doesn't make us happy. When love has a shape we find out how love looks like in the time of need, then we finally become happy with love in the shape. If I were alone and lonely, love must look like a friend. When a friend comes to me and listens to me, I will be happy because I feel his love get in shape as being my friend. If I were frustrated at poor grades and was crying, love must look like a warmhearted and friendly father. When my father comes to me and hugs me, I'll be happy because I have been comforted by my father's hug. If you learned what love can look like, then you can also show your love to others, and this 'both-way love' multiplies happiness. When we love each other, then we are so happy. That's why you may feel happy with your friends and family members. So remember that when your love has a shape, that makes both you and loved one a lot happier.
Words of love make me happy. I want to let you know some beautiful lyrics of two songs which are singing true love. These songs make me moved whenever I listen to. First of all, it is 'If I Ain't Got You' by Alicia Keys. The chorus goes like this: Some people want it all / But I don't want nothing at all / If I ain't got you, baby // Some people want diamond ring / Some just want everything / But everything means nothing / If I ain't got you. The other is 'I Need You More' by Kim Walker, which the verse goes like this: I need you more, more than yesterday / I need you more, more than words can say / I need you more than ever before / I need you more // More than the air I breathe / … More than the next heartbeat / More than anything. I need you more. These songs taught me what words of love are. Some might think these are 'ogl-ogl,' which is a Korean slang used to show that you are shy or ashamed. But, although words of love can be regarded 'ogle-ogle' first, doesn't that mean you don't like it or you don't want it? My girlfriend and I feel pitiful when we see other couples use bad words to each other instead of lovely words. Young people around my age seem to avoid saying what they really think just when they think it's 'ogl-ogl' to say. But what we must avoid is to make our loved ones misunderstand what we really think about them. Start to use words of love to your boy/girlfriends, parents and all who you love.
I simply live my live: to love more. Isn't romantic? Or do you think it is unrealistic? I just live my life everyday to love more, because I believe that only in love I find the greatest happiness. I can be thought of an idealist but I am living in the same world where you live. I am telling that the purpose of my life is nothing but love. Let all of us love ourselves and express your love to your friends and parents remembering that you would be a lot happier when you love and you are loved. Both-way love is always better. Lastly, don't hesitate to tell words of love. Never mind! You will soon find yourself love to say what you thought 'ogl-ogl.'

From the first sentence I was involved into.
I do not have something I could not understand because everything was clear.
especially I liked the example from the song.
Great job! and good idea.
