I woke up today in a surprisingly cheerful mood despite the fact that I had an absolute crap time trying to sleep last night. I was lying on my bed, just thinking about various issues in the world when one thought led to another and hours later came to find that I had stressed myself out to the point of just blankly staring at the ceiling.
Because I was in an especially chirpy mood this morning, I decided to make a list of things that make me happy. Something to remind me that there's always happiness to be found in the world. Also, there's something special about seeing your thoughts written down - I feel like it truly encases your thoughts, solidifies them, and makes them facts. Here's Part 1! I'm a girl of simple pleasures and there's no way I can fit even a tenth of the things that make me happy onto a single page. I also thought it would be fun to explain a few of these :)
*Chocolate - Holy guacamole, is an explanation even needed here?! Keep your chocolate hidden from me because I will eat every piece of chocolate in sight until they're all gone. I'm ashamed to disclose the number of Whoppers I can down in one sitting -_-
*Train rides - There's something about a solitary train or bus ride. Train rides and bus rides are the times when I get to take a small step back from the hustle and bustle of the world and just think. I just like to listen to music and reminisce as I watch the city zoom by. Trains have magical properties, truly.
*Old-Fashioned Boys - Let's just say that I'd much rather prefer the old school gentleman to the modern jock.
*Laughing Out Loud - I really don't hold back on my laughter - when something amuses me, I tend to laugh quite heartily. There are times when I have felt insecure about my laugh, just because I have been told off for it a good number of times...but the people I surround myself with always give me a reason to laugh and always counter my insecurity with acceptance and warmth. Befriend people who make your insecurities seem small :)
*Spontaneity - Life is already full of planning and schedules and rules as it is, and sometimes we just want something different. We tire of routine and crave a bit of freedom from it - perhaps through unconventional means. Spontaneity takes different forms for different people, and to me spontaneity is that extra packet of fries, leaving notes for strangers, car/bus/train rides without destination, dyeing my hair white, gift-giving, this blog post. Anything really, as long as it's all with good company.
Ciao for now~
