week of happiness

"I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition." - Martha Washington

"be sincere and steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of adversity." - Sirach 2:2-3

Delightful; it's strange but lately I have been extremely delightful, nothing seems to bother me, and I've acquired this peculiar facial feature that one would call a "smile". Strangely everyone seems to think I've found the love of my life, gotten laid, or won the lottery, though unfortunately none of the answers above equal up to an answer of my complete and utmost understanding of "Why I am happy."

The friction of every day speed bumps have hit so many times, it's as if I've traded a slammed car for a jacked bronco; can't feel any of the bumps on the road these days. It's not as if I've become completely reckless and such, in a manner where I just don't care to give a damn, I understand the consequences of several of my actions I decide to take, ergo; I haven't been reckless or anything, just happy. Simply, I wake up with a smile and I fall back asleep with one.

It's as if I've come to terms with several tedious situations; things which I finally understand cannot be changed via my own personal quick willed force. Certainly, what we want, what we ask for in this life, who we strive to be, or rather our purposes can only be found in time; patience in time of hardship and challenge is key to success.

As everyone will continue asking "Why are you so happy?" I'll simply reply with a smile keeping my secrets to myself. Nothing more, nothing less; they'll continue to speculate what's happened and I'll happily walk away.

"conversations so nostalgic, love never lost just classic, beautifully beyond like magic, and she's staring at you; so you're weak in the knees, heart drops and time is subtle, take the moment to breath cause you'll never know if it's your last, a smile connects and a bit of life is craft. stay grindin'" - Ryan D
