The little things are worth smiling about.
I really enjoy the days when the sun is out, and I am free to appreciate the little things. I got to fly a Buzz Lightyear kite today, while staring at the trees and water of Thousand Hills Park, and it made me extremely happy. Then, I got to swing, and a little boy smiled at me. I drank a cherry limeade. It didn’t have a cherry or lime, but I didn’t realize it until the end, so I got to enjoy the whole thing. I ate a kiwi. I had a political discussion. “My town” by Armor for Sleep played on my stereo. I only worked for 3 hours. I realized that things can only improve, and they’re as bad as I make them. I can control my situation. I should never take life for granted. You’d think I would’ve learned that from all of the ones who’ve died so young. I lost my independence along the way, and I can only be the one to regain it. I can’t afford to lose it again. I can’t afford to cry over you anymore. I’m missing out on the best parts of life. The only thing I can do is look up, appreciate the sun, appreciate my life, and live for myself and the ones who didn’t get the chance.
