Happiness as a destination

"You are always happy!" Are you kidding me? I'll take it as a compliment, cause I definitely try. I wish I could say I always succeeded as well!

Rainy weather, rude comment, bad hair day and that one guy doesn't text you back. There can be many reasons that it's just not your day. What's worth noticing is how often it's your surroundings that affect you. You can probably see where I'm going... About to give you "be happy"-speech. If you know me, you will know that it truly is my attitude, but whether or not you follow it, I don't care. I just know that to me, being mad is a waste of precious time.

I woke up, thinking it was going to be great day. The sun was shinning and it seemed like spring had finally arrived. That illusion crushed when I literally crashed into a fence on my way to school. A road worker didn't see me coming. He walked right into me with a concrete block. It torn a whole in my pants, that revealed the wound he gave me and sent me crashing into a fence. Not really the way you want to start of your day.  It didn't hurt too bad then, but I was choked and the guy didn't even say sorry.

I walk into class a little late, since... Well, I didn't expect to be part of a collision on my way to school. My teacher gives me one look and says nothing. Happy to have some friends that are a little more caring, when I start crying in the middle of class. Even though I always hate crying in front of people, but I couldn't help it.

A group presentation that wasn't exactly ready, a missed train and another one that was canceled didn't exactly make my day better.

Still what I wanna remember from this day is that it finally seems like the spring is coming to Denmark. It's 59 °F and the entire school is eating lunch in the first sunshine. My little brother keeps asking if it's summer now. And one more thing; we can finally play basketball outside again. You have one guess who made the winning shot? The only girl on the court.

Like a camera, it's a question about what moments you choose to capture. I choose the picture of the guys' surprised faces when I made those last points.
