"You make me happy,
Whether you know it or not.
We should be happy,
That's what I said from the start."
You know what's really weird?
When you're sitting at a party, seeing tetris shapes everywhere, and you realise - wow. I'm really, really happy.
Now most people would think that I was high, or taking drugs at said party.
But I wasn't.
I wasn't even drinking.
For the past couple of days, I've been generally happy. And the strange thing is - I feel weird about it.
If someone is happy - as a longterm emotion, not a passing feeling - they should feel good about everything.
Life is at peace.
And nothing is wrong.
But I know that my life isn't perfect.
Hell, there's a shitload of things wrong with my life.
But I don't feel like I deserve to be happy right now.
I'm guilty of so many things.
Especially leading on male friends.
Even if I don't mean to.
So why the hell am I so happy?
I don't have a boyfriend.
I feel like I push my friends away.
I live in a household full of comparison and competition.
I spend my life sitting on the computer.
Why should I be allowed to feel this way?
But maybe I should just take this happy feeling and go with it.
Maybe I should just...embrace this excessive happiness.
Instead of over-analyzing everything in my life. Like I always do.
Perhaps I should just be like the character I'm playing in the Wizard of Oz musical. Whenever the Scarecrow falls down, he just laughs it off and gets back up again.
Because even though I know this happiness has to go back down at one point, perhaps I should just learn to laugh it off and get back up again.
And you know what?
That's just what I'll do.

your relationship status should not affect your happiness, heck, having a boyfriend can be shit too, right?
ReplyDeletethat's true.
ReplyDeletebut at the moment, im just so sick of single life - it's what i really want.
u know?
There are 4 words in line 22 that need to be explained...
ReplyDeletein the past i may have accidentally "lead on" male friends, without knowing i did it - until friends say "dude he really likes u now" and im like
ReplyDeleteoh.
:/
It's good to see that you're happy. It's hard for a teenager to find happiness these days...
ReplyDeleteI would know :(
As for the leading on males. Tell them you aren't interested in a relationship.
The ones that want to be friends with you will stick around.
The ones that get angry with you just want you for sex.
Unless of course, actually want to be with them. Then tell them straight away...
amen to james.
ReplyDeleteand i can see why you might not desire the single life so much at the moment, but things will work out.
the always do.
I read this somewhere;
"There will always be a happy ending, and if it's not happy, it's not the end"
so, chin up, as charlotte would say from her precariously made web.
<3
thanks guys.
ReplyDelete@james: that's pretty much what i do at the moment. sometimes i dont even know how i led the guy on - sometimes it's not even after a hook-up. so letting them know i dont want a relationship...it's sad.
@anonymous: nice quote :)
who are you?
haha
