An entry that I wrote about a year ago was a list of things that made me happy. But a lot has changed since then and I've decided that I want to update that list. So here it goes. For me, happiness is: cooking dinner with Niki... singing with her in the car... looking up at the stars on a clear night... seeing a rainbow after it stops raining... laying in bed with Niki after a long day... watching her dance... knowing I made someone else smile... being there for someone when they need me... dreaming... watching movies with Niki... kissing her... remembering the past, but being ready for the future... knowing that I finally found my soulmate... watching a storm... laying on clean sheets... feeling an unexpected breeze on a hot summer's day... cleaning... having enough gas in my car to make it to a gas station... hearing Niki say, "I love you"... feeling safe... getting a good grade an assignment... being in love... learning something new... making a new friend... traveling, whether it be to a new place or an old one... hearing good stories... giving Niki a hug... finding money in my pocket... eating chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven... wrapping myself in a warm blanket... seeing good things happen to good people... watching FRIENDS, Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice... taking hot showers on cold days... getting paid... listenig to someone talk who has an accent... doing random acts of kindness... being productive... setting goals for myself... achieving those goals... finding a good parking spot... people-watching... seeing Niki smile... giving and receiving compliments... talking to my parents over the phone... visiting my parents... working on-campus... buying stuff for mine and Niki's apartment... hearing her voice... and having her be the last person I see at night and the first person I see in the morning. A lot has changed in the past year, but I'm a much better person now, and I'm so blessed to have everything and everyone that I do in my life. I wouldn't change a thing.
