“Breathe in, then hold. Close your eyes. Think of just one thing that made you smile today. Then slowly, breathe out. Open your eyes. Doesn’t take much to be happy.” — a friend

Reverie 188

There are just days when you simply can’t find a reason to live anymore, like you can’t find any explanation to have the will to live, to have a purpose, because everything is just crappy. Today was not like that. I feel genuinely happy, because this sense of epiphany came over me over the weekend. I guess it started on the night my mom told me some important life lesson, which summarily says that you cannot expect to be comfortable every single moment in your life, because that is not at all life. You just have to find a way to deal with stuff. Although this sounds like not comforting in the least bit, it gave me comfort and courage to face the stuff in my life that irks me. Then over the weekend, I got to spend time with family and friends alike, and got to reminisce on sweet memories of the not so distant past. Sometimes when life is good, it really is good.
