Life is Irrecoverably Wasted ...

"No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life." ...sleeping in fresh sheets. ...the smell of chocolate chip cookies. ...a smiling child. ...a warm cup of tea; a good book. ...an organized desk. ...a stargazing date. ...the twinkle of Christmas lights. ...the chirp of happy birds. ...a tickle war. ...your favorite song coming on shuffle randomly. ...a home cooked meal. ...a fuzzy puppy fast asleep in your lap. ...eating cinnamon toast under the covers. ...sharing a smile with a stranger. ...when someone brings you a coffee just the way you like it. ...the rewarding feeling after a workout. ...a long nap. ...watching re-runs of your favorite shows. ...reading a book, magazine, or newspaper from cover to cover in one sitting. ...when you haven't seen any of the previews at the movie theater.

After what seemed to be the darkest moments of my life, I feel I can finally smile from the heart. I look back and see so many people who tried to tarnish me for reasons I still don't know, yet I made it, untouched and unharmed only to find I am stronger than I always thought I was. I hate good byes. I wonder how people break up. I just can't do it. That's how I ended up with the person who loves me like crazy. We had our ups and downs, and being the mere humans we are, may be there will be more. But this time around, I have learnt the value of things that are here to stay and things that were never meant to be. Today, right now, this very moment, I can see myself sitting with him amidst nature's glory, looking in the same direction. We're not entirely the same, but he's the kind of man whose hands I can hold and all those differences can melt. Is this love?? :) That's my "sunshine love" I've been trying so hard to create with all my lovey-do...
