Happy... But Not Too Happy

Before I begin, I must admit that this has been a very hard challenge for me to come up with an idea for. We have been taught to focus on the parts of ourselves that need fixing rather than the perfect qualities we already have. I have spend time thinking about what to write for this. I have just been waiting for the inspiration to come, and finally, it did. I was asked to my school’s dance today by my crush, and my reaction to it has led me to realize what I believe is my best quality. I have this incredible ability to feel things. I’m not sure if this happens to everyone sometimes, but sometimes, when things like this happen, this awesome wave of pure happiness comes over me and I turn into this happy, fun, loving person that I believe, at least, is just fun to be around.

I’m not sure if this is the best part of myself for me to experience or if other people enjoy it when I’m like this too, but I have rarely been around people who you can just tell are entirely happy in that moment. Sure, I’m sad a lot. I don’t think anyone would consider me a happy person on a day-to-day basis, but I think that’s part of what makes it so great. If I were like that everyday, there would be nothing special about it. When I’m just happy, I’m not worrying about all the repercussions of what is going to happen. There is absolutely nothing “bad” on my mind. I feel like I’m dreaming and for once, I am completely in the moment. These are the best times of my life, and that, I think, makes it my best quality.
