... and that ain't wrong

It’s kind of weird how the happy can continue to shine.

There are no doubts in my life right now. None. There are still things I’d like to improve, and things I simply have to put on the back-burner because of lack of time or money.

But I know where I want to go, and the path is clear.

Wauw, I sound all grown-up right now, don’t I?

But you know? This is the first time I actually feel like my life is good. Before, it was just a label. Now, it’s reality.

I can’t tell you why. Maybe it was because my life truly sucked for a while back there. But now? I’m finally to feel the happy and it’s wonderful. It's like I've finally gotten a sense of direction back into my life. I've been drifting for years now. Holding on to fragile dreams and hoping for a better tomorrow. But now I know that today is fantastic, and tomorrow will be even better.

And because music is such a fantastic way to communicate feelings, here’s a song that perfectly fits my mood.



The song is by Swedish singer/songwriter Salem Al Fakir.

If you want to take a sneak peak into my past, then he's also written this song. It's dark. Very dark. And it's where I was about a year ago.But now I'm happy. Happy happy, joy joy.

Sharing the happy


I've been listening alot to Mika lately. His songs are so vibrant, full of life and happy (even when dealing with things that are sad).

I like that he can be sad without succumbing to sadness.

There's no better way to start my day, than to plug in my earphones and listen to him telling me that everybody's gonna love today. Love, love me.

Have a great weekend!

Things I like: My life

Sometimes? I’m not a very happy person. Like. Really not happy.
But right now, I’m smiling.

Aaron Paul is happy as well

I’d love to be able to tell you why. To tell you exactly how to become happy. But I can’t give you a blow-by-blow description of how things shifted for me.

I can only tell you why I’m happy in this moment.

It’s a mix of a lot of different things, but generally speaking, I really like the direction my life is taking. Work is going splendid. I’m to start school this fall. I’ve begun to talk to old friends I hadn’t even realized I’d missed. My family is pleasant to be around. Life is good.

The 10th Doctor thinks that life is pretty swell as well.

Weirdly enough, this streak of happiness isn’t because of some guy, who’s come to sweep me off my feet. I haven’t met prince charming on a white horse.

But it does kind of feel like I’m in love.

Maybe I’m in love with my own life? It sounds corny and self-involved. And it’s not that I can’t see areas in my life that couldn't be improved, but I just feel like those areas are getting increasingly insignificant. It’s just a matter of time before they’re gone. And time is on my side.

I like where I am, and I like where I’m going. I couldn’t very well ask for more?
Except maybe the 10th Doctor looking at me like that, inviting me to board his TARDIS.

I don’t know how long my streak of happiness will last. I try not to think about it (but a small voice in my head keep insisting that it won’t last forever).

In this very moment, I’m just happy and thankful for my happiness (and I suppose I’d only take it for granted, if I wasn’t afraid of losing it).

Life:


It’s all about the storms. The silence that precedes them and the rainbows that follow them.

You can't control the storms. You shouldn't try. They will take you somewhere magical. I promise.
