Challenge of the Week CVII
Happiness. The ever-elusive state in which we all strive to linger. Write about the pursuit or experience of happiness. Perhaps it's an illusion. Perhaps it's a character who finds happiness in an unlikely place. Perhaps it'll be the simplest thing you'll ever write, or perhaps the most difficult. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Morning person

It’s the sunlight that pours through the window and fills the space around you. Other people call it an intrusion, you call it an embrace.

It’s thrilling. It makes you want to go and do everything, acheive the world. It’s the feeling of opportunity.

It’s addicting. Sometimes you go to sleep purely so you can experience the feeling of waking up all over again.

You still get groggy - you’re not superhuman. You still experience the thick pull of sleep on your brain, making thinking feel like trying to run with a ball and chain. But you forget all of that when it dawns on you that this is a new day, with endless possibilities. You can’t stay still, not when you know that the day is a fresh new canvass, the things you love to do waiting there for you and the people you love just on the other side of a wall - and you just can’t wait to irritate them to no avail with your morning explosion of energy.
