So, lately I have been finding myself smiling a lot more and seem to be genuinely happy. Why, the change, you might ask. Well I have come to the conclusion that it is a combination of things.
The first being the fact that I am now living on my own. That's right, I am no longer under the control of my parents. Not that it wasn't nice living at home. Yes, it had it's perks: laundry was always done, food was always prepared and waiting when I came home from class, but there were the not so good things too. I always had my parents, mainly my mother, asking where I was, when I was going to be home, who I was hanging out with, etc. But now, I have no one to answer to! And it's fabulous. I can come and go as I please, skip class and not explain myself to anyone, eat whatever and whenever, leave things where ever I want. It's pretty great living on my own.
The second thing that makes me happy is a certain guy. We have worked together for almost four years now, known of each others existence all our lives and have been sort of dating for the last four months, I think. We have only been out three times, due to our busy work schedules and my school schedule. He has become one of my best friends. I can talk to him about almost everything. He's the one I turn to when something bad, or good, happens. I look forward to work on the days I get to work with him, which is not many. He makes me happy! I love it when he says extra nice things to me when no one else is around. I often find myself making up reasons to go to work on the nights he's there just to see him. I believe I am truly happy when we are together, and I hope this never changes.
