Happy.

I was so happy this morning 
So much so I felt like nothing could dampen it. 
The 2 am wake-up call to watch seven of my favorite people seemed like the beginning of a great day.
And then I fell back asleep,
I let myself give in to the tiredness of my brain
And allowed some of the happiest moments of my day to follow me to sleep. 
When I woke up, the world was back to normal. 
A world I am tired of dealing with. 
A world I am tired of living in. 
A world where I stress more than I smile. 
A world where I force myself to stay quiet rather than be heard. 
A world where everyday feels like a battle to keep going. 

There are fleeting moments,
Like the ones this morning, 
Where no matter the godforsaken hour of the morning,
I am truly happy. 
They are the only ones who can do that... 
Who can make me truly happy.
Most of my family aggravates me. 
Most of my friends live too far away to enjoy their company.
And the rest of the world is just... nothing.
But those seven boys from Korea
Who fought against the world with their voices and a dream, 
Who broke down all the walls of a whitewashed music industry,
Who have filled a whole far bigger than anything else ever could, 
They make me happy.
Happier than anyone ever can.

When I see them interviews,
I am happy. 
When they are mentioned on my Twitter feed,
I am happy.
When they perform their music with pride and love, 
I am happy. 
When I think of their concert I attended on May 19th,
I am happy. 
They make me happy.
They make me smile.
They make living this shitty life worthwhile. 
Just seeing them, 
Listening to them talk and sing,
Acting like wonderful, stupid, borderline crackhead idiots...
I.
Am.
Happy. 
And no one will ever change that.

2019

2019 We’ve reached the end of the year The end of a decade This year has had many ups and downs  Some with unimaginable outcomes  For starters, it was the first full year without my mom My first full year without a mother’s guidance  My first full year without a mother’s love My first full year completely on my own But in this I’ve filled the void by letting in new friends  And allowing older ones to move in deeper  The biggest low of this year though was seeing what it’s like when a person is truly two-faced I’ve seen that no matter how long you may have known a person They can always be someone completely different on the inside  But I’ve learned from my mistakes and have left them in the past  Where they belong  They will stay in this year  But with the loss of one,  I have gained three  Three amazing friends that I will hold in my heart for as long as they will allow me I’ve witnessed t...

Euphoria

Euphoria Is this what Euphoria feels like?  Or is this just pure excitement building up inside me, waiting for the perfect moment to boil over?  What is Euphoria? The dictionary defines it as a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness But it goes no further leaving the cause open to interpretation.  Some believe Euphoria can only be reached through actions, Through memories being made But I believe there is more to Euphoria than a single moment A single happy moment Euphoria can be something much bigger than this Much bigger than just ourselves and our memories Euphoria can be love  Total and all encompassing love  A love so strong it crosses borders Oceans  Languages Euphoria is what I feel when hearing your voice Listening to the words rolling off your tongue  Craving it as if they are my last dying breath Euphoria is what I feel when seeing your happy smile Letting it into the worl...

Sunrise

It is the most calming moment of the day Just before the moon sets and the sun crests over the horizon In this moment, there is only you and nature There is you and the birds, awakening from their slumber and tweeting their morning songs There is you and the wind, still brisk from the night before There is you and the silence of a city, unaware of what the day will bring next. In this moment, there are no worries, no heartaches, no fear, no pain, no hesitation. The anxieties that plague our world don't exist in this moment, as we say goodbye to the night, the moon, the stars... And say hello to the sun and its ever glowing rays. But this moment will be short lived, for once it is gone- life shall begin again. The city will awaken and all the stresses of the day before shall return. At the end of this beautiful moment, is when we crave for life to stop again For the moon to rise and put a pause on life Only for the whole sequence to be started again.
