Little Things That Make Me Happy

It doesn't matter if you're the most depressed person on the planet, there's something that will make you happy. Something that pushes you to smile even if you're feeling like crap. So, the next time I'm feeling like crap, I'm going to look back at this list to remind myself what I want to live for. 

Coming home and having Patches greet me like she's been waiting for me to come home for five years.

The candle scent Fireside. 

Waking up and feeling not too hot or not too cold.

Waking up and feeling someone next to me.

Waking up.

That moment when a small child or infant can't stop staring at me and they smile like I'm the greatest thing in the world.

Remembering I have passion and direction in my life.

When my cat, who is generally not affectionate, goes out of her way to say hello to me.

When Alex reaches for my hand just because she wants to hold my hand.

When Rachael makes me watch movies that I don't remember and I end up loving them.

When Shannon gets excited and can't stop rambling about something.

That moment when I catch someone's eye and they give me that look.

Talking to someone I haven't really paid much attention to and getting to know them a little better. 

Feeling in control of life and feeling like I can definitely move on and accomplish what I want to. 

Getting a random text or note from a friend telling me how awesome I am.

Going swimming and feeling like a badass, gorgeous mermaid.

Getting so into a book that I can't go a certain amount of time without at least touching it or looking through it.

Looking up at the sky and feeling like there's someone looking back.

The wind in my hair.

Painting my nails a certain color for a certain purpose.

Knowing my tattoos are a part of who I am.

Home remedies.

Watching a fire dance or the flame of a candle and feeling that little tug on my heart. 

Reading tarot cards and feeling like I discovered a whole new perspective.

Orgasms.

Getting an unexpected hug.

Being welcomed into someone else's family.

Sitting in the shade of a tree.

Compliments.

The moments when my family actually feels like a unified, loving family.

Planning things. Whether they'll actually happen or not.

Just chilling out and RPing through Skype with Alex. Because we feel like it.

When a Target guest thanks me for helping them and really means it.

Liking my job.

The internet.

Singing in the living room when no one is home, as loud as I want.

When I look in the mirror and like what I see.

The fact that my fridge makes me look really skinny when I turn to the side.

Flavored iced teas.

Finding the perfect shade of lipstick. 

When my hair is out of control and crazy but it looks really good.

Pictures of baby animals being cute and silly.

The days when my mom and I hang out and we just have a blast.

Being able to tell my mom that I love her now. After about 9 years of putting a wall between her and I.

Feeling like I'm going to make it.

Australian men.

Landscape pictures.

Cotton candy and roller coasters. 

Flirting with someone and then walking away knowing I'll never see them again but I got the biggest confidence boost ever.

Always having people on my mind.

Blog comments because I can't think of anything else right now.
