Lights will guide you home

They say we're in the pursuit of this thing called happiness. But then Ellen Kenner brought up the fact that it's a means of traveling. I guess it's all about perspective, how you could be happy 100% of your life, if you look at it the right way. Theories aside, I am happy.

Coldplay's X&Y album in the background, French car horns blasting, fireworks going off, a whole bunch of material items now in my possession, close and incredibly nice friends, being practically half-way done, the prospect of the second half going faster than the first, knowing there is a tomorrow and even looking forward to it.

And although I am one of many, and my current positive feelings mainly only affect those directly near me, it's all connected. It gives one a new sense of... living sort of. Getting what they want. Brain is content, eager to take in and process all of this new information. Having words and a large vocabulary to express thoughts... having drooping eyes, and sore mouth muscles from laughing and grinning. Wanting to scream out "thank you thank you" a thousand times, not caring who hears. Having physical things, but also mental things I suppose.

Heck, I might even go into spanish class smiling with this.

Heck, I will, dang it!

This is life.
