Joy as baseline

I feel very pleased with life. So much so I’ve been feeling the thought popping into my head of “I’m glad I woke up today” being completely genuine. It’s been a very emotionally eventful year and lately this has stuck with me very strongly. Amazing how before we mature, we don’t really understand how things simply pass. Looking back at a past, grief-stricken me, I wonder why I ever worried so much. Of course, not in a critic way, rather just a curious, intrigued and honestly sort of amused. I do understand though, how periods of time like those are ultimately necessary. It has come to a point where I’m not even sure what a more evolved me would even be like. For the time being, I might’ve plateaud! It’s this quiet, sure and confident peace that makes me smile whenever I breathe it in. Very difficult to express accurately with words, as at the same time it’s intense, it’s also ultra chill.
Today, at the gym, my hair sat just right. Generally, it has a life of its own, wild and unpredictable, but when it sits just right, it’s perfect. I couldn’t resist looking at myself in the mirror once every five minutes! I’m very grateful to be alive and I’m having a blast, even without easy distractions like videogames or too much YouTube.
I wasn’t sure what to write about today, and I really want to make it so this website has a little more momentum and content added with more consistency, so I thought eh why not! Anything is better than nothing so…
Did you feel happy for an extended period of time lately? How was it? Are you proud of what you’ve become?
