Recently I've been feeling as if I'm really walking on sunshine. You know, the carefree and happy feeling that blooms inside? It's a kind of feeling like....... Like I've never known of anything bad or unhappy. I feel like going around and giving people who are looking down, stressed or tired a big, tight hug. My mood just stays good all the time and I really enjoy this feeling.
Do people just get feelings like this out of nowhere???
Coz I've not exactly been through anything extremely traumatizing or heart-wrenching to feel this happy. Maybe coz I've recently started an assignment journal and I pasted a quote by Conan O' Brien - “If you work really hard, and you're kind, amazing things will happen.” And everyone from class who saw it kinda laughed, gave me a skeptical look and went, "LOL NO YOU'RE NOT KIND" so perhaps that kinda scarred me.
But seriously, jokes aside, for the entire month of February I felt so alive. So full of energy, bubbling with spirit and inspirations just keep coming to me. I kinda understand how my mind works now - My mood has to be good in order for creative juices to flow. And. I. Love. It.
For once I actually feel like a proper student. Head down to school, struggle through lectures and tutorials (Feelings for stuff like these don't change), have meals and mini games amongst my class, gossip a little here and there, laugh and tear over the littlest of things, make a face at the guy sitting opposite me in class, smile at a random schoolmate and so many other things.
One of the things that I love doing in school during my free time would be people-looking. Not looking at people to judge them, but rather to just....... Look at them. Looking at the way they walk, the way they talk, the way they laugh, their hand gestures when they speak. I have tons of hand gestures when I communicate with others. In fact sometimes way too many hand gestures. I just like knowing the fact that everyone's so different.
Just yesterday only I went over to NUS for a talk on Sociology, and the guys there made me feel so proud to be an Arts student. I've made many choices in my life, but honestly speaking, choosing an Arts education was a choice that I've, in my opinion, courageously made and one that I have never and will never regret.
I realised that for too long I've been neglecting the little details of life. I've always been focusing so much, in fact too much on the ultimate "goal" and overlooking the things in life that we consider unimportant. A friend of mine told me that I look good in glasses when I tried his on, and I beamed for the entire day. It's just these tiny bits of compliments that make my day.
Gosh, I sound so old.
I'd love to have a listen at peoples' stories; have a taste of what are the little details in their lives.
I believe the little details in everyone's lives are different. That's the thing that makes everyone special.
So yes, I've been feeling happy recently. And I really want to spread this joy around to everyone! Hopefully you guys will start appreciating the little things in life that you've always been neglecting - Trust me, in some way or another you'd start feeling more carefree. Smile more, laugh more, compliment more, eat more, tease more, care more, play games and dress up.
Last but not least, love more ♥
