Stop and Smell the Roses

"What five things in life give you joy?" - ANON


1.) The feeling of falling in love. I absolutely adore that feeling of being someone's world and getting to know each other day by day. The anticipation behind the first time you kiss, or hold hands, or go to bed together. The happiness you feel when they get one of your nerdy obscure jokes. When you find out their favorite band is your favorite band. the feeling you get when you realize you've found something truly good and you're now off the market and happy about it. 


2.) Nature as a whole. Watching the seasons change, or a storm roll in on a warm summers night. Being lucky enough to catch an eclipse, whether Lunar or Solar. Watching how vibrant everything gets in the summer. Seeing those first sprouts of green shoot through the cold winter soil. Feeling a warm breeze on a winter's day to signify the coming of Springtime and nice weather. 


3.) Being able to have a truly deep intellectual debate/conversation with someone to the point where your opinions and beliefs can be completely polar opposites and yet you respect each other completely and can enjoy each others company for hours on end just by simply chatting. 


4.) Being able to make a child laugh. I know that sounds really corny but it's true. If a kid falls and scrapes his/her knee and they're crying, there's nothing better than the feeling you get when you dry their tears and see them smile and completely forget about their pain for that split second. Making a child smile/laugh is a great feeling because it usually doesn't take very much to do so because they enjoy the little things in life, and to see such simplistic joy is amazing.


5.) When I meet others that are just as loving, caring and accepting as myself. those who don't judge a person at all and don't look down their noses at people simply because of their sexual preference, skin color, religious beliefs, or perhaps even lifestyle choices. To meet people that are that accepting of the diversity in the world is truly amazing.
