Happy Happy

Posted on April 8, 2009 by Percy Kwong

With all the bullshit going on with the world, politics, war, and the economy, I figure I’d write about something to be happy about.  Then.. I thought, “Hell.. Just write about being Happy.”  And thus, this rambling was born.  Why am I writing about being happy right now?  Because.. I’m just.. Happy.

I guess I could look at the world and see how depressing everything is.. and the reality is, it’s really depressing.  People are losing their jobs, the world is blowing up, there’s political instability everywhere.  That’s not the point of this posting though.  I’m not going to be yet another person to write about how bad things are.. although, I do that quite a bit (meh).

Right now, I’m just feeling… happy.  It’s just amazing how one little thing can lift one’s heart.  Something so simple, like doing something and seeing the appreciation on their face.  That didn’t quite happen today, but it’s almost time to do something along those lines soon.  If it were up to me (and it rarely is), I would just dedicate my life to saving people, but what good is saving people if I can’t help myself first right?

So why am I happy?  My thoughts.  In greater detail, my thoughts about someone.  Let’s just say that we’ve spoken on the telephone, I’ve exchanged emails and numerous text messages.  You know that feeling of finding someone that just gives you that sense of excitement when you see that text message, or hear their voice?  That sense of impending exhilaration when you just can’t wait to see them?  That’s what I’m talking about.  It’s not love.. It’s not lust, it’s just that feeling of overwhelming happiness.  It brings a Kool-Aid smile to your face.  That’s what I’m talking about.  I feel that right now.

So. If you’re single, go out and enjoy the day!  Find someone that makes you feel that way.

If you’re in a relationship, do something special for your partner.

The world’s depressing enough.  Let’s stop concentrating on the things that don’t matter so much and start concentrating on the things that matter.  Happiness.
