10 Things That Make Me Happy

By Georgia

I decided to do one of those writing challenges with the first one being to write about the ten things that make you happy. Surprisingly this was harder than I thought it would be. Anyway here are the ten things that make me happy.

1- Rainy Days. Sitting inside with a cup of tea and a good book. Just listening to the sound of rain against the window, that feeling when you're warm and safe.

2- Music. Being able to just sit and listen, letting the rest of the world fade away. The music giving you a soundtrack to life. I firmly believe that most things can be fixed by listening to the right song.

3- Friends. Need I say more. The people who somehow make you laugh when you're about to cry. The people who know when you just need to cry, and will stay with you while you let out all the pain. The people who you dream of seeing the world with and stay with you until the end. The people who will always be your Stud Muffins.

4- Flowers. I don't know what it is, but flowers hold a precious place in my heart. Each one seems to have a story, something to say. They each have a shape that says something different. A way to communicate without words. Maybe thats what makes them special. A simple flower able to say what we can't convey with words. A way to express the things we simply can't put into words.

5- Reading. Really just books in general. The way they smell and feel, it's amazing. The power they hold, you can go anywhere, be anyone. People talk about how they wish they had a tele-porter, but they don't realise they've been around for centuries. In my fourteen years of life I've been everywhere, I've lived a thousand lives, without ever leaving my bedroom. Now don't get me wrong, I still live my life to the fullest, but every so often it's nice to escape reality for bit.

6- Silence. There's something comforting in silence. The silence with friends, nothing to say just being there with each other. Sometimes silence is better than words. Silence can convey emotions better than most other forms of communication. Silence lets you listen. Really listen, understand exactly what's going on. Next time it's silent listen to what it's saying.

7- Dreams. The dream of what I'll do with my life. The amazing adventures I'll have with my friends. The places I'll go, the people I'll meet. The thought of what I can accomplish.

8- Dancing. Whether there's music or not, whether there are people or you're alone, just dance. It's freeing and makes you feel like anything is possible. Dancing with friends in pj's to the cheesiest boy band, gives you the feeling that everything is alright. Maybe it's not, maybe your life is falling apart, but for that one moment nothing can touch you. Maybe you're dancing with your romantic partner, slow dancing in the kitchen. But when I dance I'm free and nothing can touch me.

9- Bees. Bees are just so cute. To me they're the embodiment of happiness, spending their days buzzing from flower to flower making honey. Bees are just so wholesome.

10- Happiness. Seeing people happy. Seeing my friends laugh and smile reminds me of how joyful life can be. Seeing someone do something they love and completely losing themselves in it. Someone seeing something on their phone and smiling. It's the small little signs of happiness that are so heartwarming. Maybe I'm just being overly sentimental but it makes me so happy to see others happy.
