What is happiness? Does it have anything to do with freedom? Everyone would like to live, think and act freely. Every time we make our decisions, learn and experience something new, be it good or bad, we are still happy about it because it is our free choice. We all learn about life by living it. If we are too afraid to take a step we can't go anywhere. Every other decision is another risk, and every other risk makes our hearts beat faster, making life more desirable. We must always look forward in life because we cannot go back in time and change things that have already happened. Our past plays an important role in our future, but we shouldn't get stuck in our memories if they stop us from moving forward. In “Eveline”, James Joyce tells us the story of a girl who lives in Dublin and is about to make an important decision in her life. Eveline wanted to have her freedom, but she was afraid to run away because she had a lot of responsibilities. Would she put her fears aside and let romance guide her life, or give up on her dreams? If we want to live a free life, then we should be ready to take risks. Thinking about our future and wanting the best for ourselves does not make us selfish people. We all have responsibilities and we all respect our families, but we shouldn't live for others. We should make our decision even if it will hurt us in the end, because only in this way can we find happiness. Eveline wanted to have her freedom and make the best decision for herself, but she had to be very careful about her decision because it wouldn't just change her life. He needed to think about his father and the promise he had made to his dead mother, which he said halfway down the sheet of paper at the end because he was afraid of taking a risk. I was born and raised in Türkiye, but I moved here a few years ago and it was a big risk for me. I didn't know if things would work or not. How could I know the answer without trying? I started a new life which wasn't easy, but in the end I became a stronger person because now I know that I can make my own decisions and be happy with them. No one has a perfect life and if people are afraid to start or try new things, they won't get anywhere. We all come from different backgrounds and life teaches us different lessons, but if we sit back and do nothing, we can't make a difference. We never know what will happen in our future, and that is why we should never regret any of our decisions. Good and bad experiences make us become a better person and make us move forward with our lives.
