i’ve realized that I'm not truly happy unless I’m around those I love
which is strange it seems, being an introvert. I like small groups of people I know well, so they understand my personality. When I’m alone I am at peace, and relaxed.
When I am with my friends and those I love, I am happy.
It was laughing hysterically with my boyfriend as he held me, the heat from his laughs blowing onto my cheek. It’s watching one boy on my swim team insist on “waffling” with another boy during the blessing before dinner. It’s trying to make gingerbread houses, but things get so messed up we have to use hot glue in the end. It’s failing miserably at Rock Band because everyone is laying over everyone and no one has the room to really move their fingers to play the notes.
Maybe sitting in bed watching netflix is when I feel relaxed, but stepping out of my comfort zones, making contact with people is when I really feel a smile spreading involuntarily across my face.
