(no thanks, I'm not a Blink fan)

What kind of little details about life make it be worth it for you? Do you appreciate the simple things about the world, and enjoy some to such extents that they make you feel you're truly happy?

Drinking a coke? Maybe walking in the rain or playing guitar, skipping stones, watching Kermit the Frog yell desperately, eating at a Denny's at 4:00 am, stepping into puddles, playing Zelda on a cloudy day, kicking empty cans, the sound of fall leaves cracking while you walk, the scent of pine and wet red clay, writing short stories, watching japanese films?

You know, those little knacks that tell you who you are, cheer you up in a bad moment, blah... Those above are a few of mine. How about yours?

Certain cartoons that I like comfort me, and take all my worries away. Don't know what it is about them, but they make me feel 100% better. Another thing: Getting up early in the morning. Getting up when it's still dark, and the sun has just started to rise... it's beautiful, peaceful, and it soothes me. Sadly, I rarely ever get up early in the morning, because my body is too tired. XD And of course, snow falling. :3 There's something magical when snow falls. Once again, there's something about it that soothes me and makes me feel in peace. Pretty much anything that takes my worries away is something that makes me happy. :3

I'm no nature freak, but the sound of birds is so wonderful to my ears. I like to listen to the different kinds and try to distinguish them. Red winged Blackbirds have such a beautiful song. I also just like to step back from my world and watch everything around me. Being a lone wolf for some time now, I like to observe the world from different points of view. It's quite an amazing thing.

Also, I occasionally take in deep breaths to not only get that refreshing feeling to my head, but also to smell the world around me. My sense of smell is more acute as I tend to associate memories, emotions and even people with their scents, and it feels good to sniff all the good and bad, although stick my head in unusual places I do not.

Getting to see family members younger than me (and my school peers) grow and mature. Accomplishing something. Getting a good grade in a difficult subject. Knowing that someone is genuinely happy. Waking up in the morning and seeing that everything is still ok and together. Ermm, having a wonderful blondie from Applebees. Watching a thunderstorm through a window. Looking at pictures from my past. Watching the moon and sun rise from the ocean. Knowing that I've helped someone out for real. Seeing a tear jerking movie. Having milk chocolate on a really bad day. When you think the worst, but find out the best. Getting new clothes. Being noticed.

Yesss there they aree! I'd go on, but then I wouldn't be able to stop. School's tomorrow, and I need sleep. Ohhh sleep! That's great too- when you come out of the subconcious state right before sleep and know that the next time you go in it you'll be asleep. :33;

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

Sunset. Sunrise. Making a friend smile. Admiring the beauty of nature. Looking at the sky, be it day or night. All of these things, always seem to help me find my way out of being depressed. There are so many more little things in life that cheer me up when I'm down, but they are too numerous to list.

But all things considered, even if I do end up dying in 60-80 years...I wont regret being alive. I'll actually miss all those small things. And all the wonderful moments I've had in life.

Indeed. All the small things...they do make life better, even if only by a little tiny bit. ^_^

Watching my dog run in the park. Talking to friends. The colour of Autumn's leaves. Making someone smile. Watching someone raid my fridge. Walking around at three in the morning when no one can see me. Staring at the sun. Lightning on a pitch black knight. The sound of birds in the morning and realising I haven't gone to sleep yet. A pen. Cool breeze.

List is endless. Will edit in a bit. Maybe.

Drinking Mountain Dew while watching a sport's game on the couch on a late Saturday afternoon, playing video games for an hour or so after a long day at school, getting an A on a Spanish test for the first time this year, and seeing my family's faces when I first go to college (this last one is going to be fun. :)).

It has to see my friends smile or be happy. If they're happy, then I'm content with myself.

Oh, that, and listening to music. I can just lay there, on the ground, forever and be listenin' to an endless pool of music.


It has to be when I see my friends smile through my actions. If they're happy, then I'm content with myself.

That, and listening to music. I can forever be listenin' to an endless pool of songs for the rest of my life.

Everything I do that makes me happy I appreciate. You only get one life, so why not take advantage of it? Love the little things that life gives you, because someday you won't have them.
