I dive in and I sink in and I find new colors to think in.

The way I see it, I may as well smile.

Things that make me happy:
Christmas music
Big cities
Symphonies and ballets
Good hair days
Fluffy snow in early winter
High heels clicking on a hard floor
Old jazz music
Deep conversations late at night
Looking through old pictures
Old fashioned architecture
Hearing a song you used to love for the first time in a long time
Finding money you forgot you had
When people call me by name randomly in conversation
Naps on airplanes
Rereading a great book and remembering why you loved it so much in the first place
Reaching out to someone you used to be close to and remembering why you loved them so much in the first place
When something confusing makes sense all of the sudden
Intending to buy a ton of much-needed clothes, and coming home having only bought candles, lotions, and perfumes. And being completely satisfied with my purchases
When people say something nice to me, not to make me feel better or not because they have to but because they want to and they can
Hearing a song that describes exactly how you feel
Gaining someone's respect
Acing tests I studied really hard for
Acing tests I didn't study at all for
That feeling in the air when you're in a room full of people you love who love you
Realizing someone cares about you more than you ever thought they did

Life's not perfect, and I could frown. Still, I may as well smile. But hey, that's just the way I see it.
