Happiness

It's amazing what happens when you are happy. I have spent a lot of time recently not being happy and am proud to say that I now truly am. Everyone goes through this sometimes. The up's, the down's, the in-between's, and it always comes right in the end. But the thing you always forget in the meantime is what it feels like to be truly happy - to be yourself.

I got to spend yesterday being happy by myself and being happy with a few very good friends. It takes a lot of guts to be able to be happy and content with yourself - to be able to spend all day completely alone and to not be lonely or afraid or sad. I think to much, and when I'm alone and unhappy, that just gets worse. It was so refreshing to realize that I didn't need to think at all - because everything was finally right in my world.

I got to spend time with an amazing guy who cares about me and wants to do everything and anything that I want to - simply because he wants to learn about me and my world. He came to a fundraiser for the people I care about and had a good time, even though it was something he had never done before and never really seen himself doing. He did that for me, because I wanted to include him in my world. Two of my good friends came with me and I got to share that with them as well. Those are the people you need in your life - the people who will stay up talking with you late into the night, the people that you miss when they are gone (even if it's just home to their own apartment). Simply staying up and chatting or watching TV and doing absolutely nothing, can be the best time of your life if the right people are there. The people who care about you and build you up.

I don't get very many lazy days - I'm too busy running around doing everything else. But when I get them, I am so glad to be able to spend them with people who care about me, people who make even the simplest and laziest of days even better. I'm so glad to have these people in my life, and I hope that you all have them as well. Hold on to them, never let them go - they will be there even in the darkest of moments, when all you need to do is reach out and grab them.
