elfinblazeSince I'm currently in the process of being driven rapidly insane by my workload I thought this was a good thing to post.
Vive and I were talking - or rather I was talking and she was listening - about places and situations that make you happy. I got the idea from a thread on a message board where people said that they were happy whenever they were playing DDR, or sitting infront of the fan and it was blowing in their face, or an empty train car with a good book.
So I came up with my own list of places and situations that make me happy:
- walking down a street alone on a sunny day with a cool wind blowing in my face
- at the top of a high building, when no one else is around
- listening to happy, boucy music when the sun is shining in my window and I have nothing to worry about
- watching a video or listening to a CD by my favourite band for the first time after buying them
- hearing that someone likes something I've written
- talking to a good friend whom I haven't talked to in a long time
- waking up in my grandmother's house, looking up at the sloping ceiling of the roof, with the scent of her furniture all around me
- or the sounds and scents I associate with being in Germany in general... the way a window shutter sounds when you roll it down, or the way my family's houses always smell subtly of tabacco
- at a concert, dancing to the music
- going for a walk through a quiet neighbourhood when I have no where to go and plenty of time to do it in
- passing houses at night and looking in open windows, seeing families living their daily lives
- swinging on a swing, until I'm so high I can see my feet touch the sky
- eating one of my favourite fruits, like strawberries or blackberries, and they're soft and sweet and juicy
- knowing that my friends are happy
