Friend, you know, sometimes we think happiness is hidden in grand achievements or distant dreams, don’t we? But the truth is, happiness is quietly waiting for us in the small moments of our daily life.
We just need to know where to look and how to embrace it. Let’s talk about this together, like two friends over a cup of tea.
Start with gratitude
Do you ever pause in the morning and think about what you’re thankful for? It doesn’t have to be something big.
Maybe it’s the soft sunlight peeking through your window, the aroma of freshly brewed tea, or the sound of your favorite bird singing outside.

Using the subfigure Environment
The subcaption package introduces the subfigure environment, which is used to encapsulate each subfigure. The syntax of this environment is similar to the main figure environment but with a few important differences.
The basic structure is as follows:
\begin{subfigure}[]{}
% contents (usually an image)
\caption{Subfigure caption}
\label{}
\end{subfigure}
Positioning Options
The optional argument [position] controls the vertical alignment of the subfigure with respect to the baseline. Common options include:
tfor top alignmentcfor center alignmentbfor bottom alignmentsfor stretching to fill the line
Connect with nature
Have you ever felt how calming it is to walk barefoot on grass or hear the rustle of leaves in the wind? Nature has this gentle way of grounding us and making us feel alive.

Do What you love
What lights up your heart? Maybe it’s painting, writing, cooking, or just dancing around your room when no one’s watching. Find time for these little joys.
When you do what you love, happiness feels like an old friend, sitting beside you, cheering you on.
Spread kindness
You know that warm feeling you get when someone genuinely smiles at you? You can be that reason for someone else. A simple compliment, helping a stranger, or even listening to someone who needs to talk—it all adds up.
Kindness has this magical way of bouncing back to you, making your heart lighter and your days brighter.

Live in the moment
Ah, this one is tricky, isn’t it? We’re often stuck in the past or worrying about the future.
But life happens in the now. Next time you’re sipping your tea or listening to a favorite song, just be there.
Feel it. Let the moment wrap you in its gentle embrace.
Celebrate small wins
Did you complete a task today? Take a moment to smile and say, “Well done!” Life is made up of small steps, and each one deserves a little celebration.

\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\
a_{m,1} & a_{m,2} & \cdots & a_{m,m}
\end{pmatrix} \]
Surround yourself with positivity
The people around us play a huge role in how we feel. Spend time with those who lift you up, who make you laugh till your stomach hurts.
And if you can’t find them right now, books, music, or even a good movie can be a great companion.
Labeling and Referencing
Each subfigure can have its own label, which can then be referenced using the standard \ref or \subref commands provided by the subcaption package.
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.45\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image1.png}
\caption{First image}
\label{fig:subfig1}
\end{subfigure}
\hfill
\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.45\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image2.png}
\caption{Second image}
\label{fig:subfig2}
\end{subfigure}
\caption{A figure containing two images}
\label{fig:overall}
\end{figure}
In the text, you can reference the entire figure or an individual subfigure as follows:
As shown in Figure~\ref{fig:overall}, the images illustrate different aspects. More specifically, the first image (Figure~\subref{fig:subfig1}) provides an overview, while the second (Figure~\subref{fig:subfig2}) zooms in on the details.
Accept imperfection
Life isn’t perfect, and neither are we. And that’s okay. Embrace the messiness, the chaos, and the flaws. They’re what make life real and beautiful. Perfection is overrated, anyway.
You see, happiness isn’t something you chase—it’s something you create, little by little, every day. It’s in the way you greet the day with hope, how you laugh at silly jokes, and how you find beauty in the ordinary.
So, let’s make a promise, you and me: let’s look for happiness in the small things and cherish every little moment.
After all, happiness is here, waiting for you. You just have to let it in.
