3 Happy things

Oh hello well..

My new years resolution for 2016 was to write more. And its been 14 days into the year already and its only now that i'm writing, at all (besides work related writing).

There are these chewies i got from Melbourne, its called 'The Natural' and on each wrapper there's sort of a riddle/question. One of them caught my eye, What are the 3 things that make you happy? People who know me, know that I value happiness over probably everything else. Its the one single thing that I pray for. SO well, i sat and thought hard about what are the 3 things i'm most happy about/ or that makes me happy.

1. Being happy makes me happy. really, its an oxymoron, i realize but the mere thought of being happy makes me forget my troubles :) Okay fine. I'll scratch that and restart from number 1.

Real No 1. Travelling. I love moving around. the very thought of staying still at one place scares me and it dulls my whole day whenever i have the misfortune of thinking about it. That probably is the reason why i often change jobs (coming to think of it, 3 jobs in 6 years isnt too bad), for the fear of remaining in the same place tad too long.

2. Praying. It gives me a sense of calm, peace and happiness. Especially after some really rough times. and that direct connection you feel with God, its  exhilarating.

3. Music. I remember reading somewhere, music really is like a drug. It invokes the feeling of happiness (or sadness) and never leaves you feeling alone. That emotion/chills you get when you hear that favorite part of a song, it has the power to make your whole day alright!

Besides these, being in love often makes one happy (with equal if not more parts of heartbreaks). And having amazing friends ( who are of the same wavelength as you) certainly makes one happy. Cooking and food in general too. Oh well, the list is indeed non-exhaustive.

So well, I asked the 3 people (who have the power to dictate how happy i am, 1 more that the other 2, because Reasons,) what made them happy.

Ms SS
Music, booze and travelling

Ms RPC
Hasnt gotten back to me, true to her being
Edit: true to herself, in a very commercial form (much like a beauty pageant reply), has just replied.
1. Making a difference (in people's live and in the world)
2. Reading a good book
3. Finding kindred spirits

So, leave a note on what makes you happy yea?

Coracles racing on rivulets,

The worlds like that.

It scampers; darts along.

Our times are so,

Never stands eternal.

For memories nor colours.

You Me You = Happiness

Life works in mysterious ways & that's the one thing that never changes (you know, like people say, change is the only thing that never changes, yeah, like that) Life, as they say, if filled with oddities (they don't say that? Okay.) And more often than not the reality is stranger than fiction. How else could you explain 3 girls from different parts of the world (Okay, i lied 2 from one part and one from the other part) bonding like sisters or even better, Best friends!  The 3 of us have no obligations (blood ties) to love each other, neither  the singular ownership reasons (Bf, husband, wife, etc) to love each other. Our characteristics are in contrast of each other as our Operating system is. Boyfriends may leave, husbands may divorce, but these girls? Im pretty damn sure, its going to take a life for one of us to leave.

But what makes this so damn bloody special is that we bonded (physically, and in an completely non-sexual manner) for a grand total of only 3 years and the love (touche) has now carried us on for 9 years ;)
Closer than sisters, thicker than robbers. These 2 rascals have a way of making things better & I know they'll always be around. They don't judge (oh hell, who am i kidding, we judge each other all the time , that doesn't change the way we love).

The SS is insanely intelligent, pretty damn sure of what she wants, secretly confused.
The SR thinks she knows what she wants & at the same damn time realizes she's fooling herself thinking she knows what she wants.
The RPc openly declares her confusion (although she does try and hide it, doesnt work RPc!) , she hates everyone, but loves the people close to her like a mother hen would :)

3 People so different, yet so similar in many ways. They don't have to explain feelings of ideas in details & more often than not, its a similar idea or view of the 3. I dont pray to god the love stays. Cuz, i know i dont have too (cheesy as fly!). I know the love (lau!) has no where else to go. And as the old saying (by us) goes, we belong together, like nose & whiteheads!

Much lau!

Whats real and whats not.

Some people live inside their heads,
only because whats inside is nicer,
the person in there is made up of unicorn piss and glitter rainbows.

And then sometimes you realize,
that imaginary person in your head,
isn't half as good in real.

Moments like that are heartbreaking,
outsiders will not understand why,
for it was only pretend, all along.

And those moments, although agonizing,
for even the safe haven, has been infiltrated,
is vital, for well being.

Reality can seem faker than dreams,
but accepting it for what it truly is,
will do a world of goodness.

Dear Self, its's okay,
now you can live in peace,
minus the what if's.
