Silly little things that make me happy

warning : cheesiness ahead

"Little things seem nothing but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air" - Georges Bernanos

 

For my birthday about a month ago, I got a book called 'my future listography'. It's a really cute book where on each page it tells you to write a list of 'moments in your life you don't want to forget' or 'the cities you want to visit' for example. Anyway I've been loving filling it in in my spare time, and it inspired me to write this post.

I think it's always good ( although difficult, I know) to think about all those little things that sound silly but can make your day that little bit better. Because that's what life's about really. I know that personally I found it hard to see the inportance in these things and it made me miserable. Sometimes it's those things that seem stupid and meaningless that, combined, make life worth living.

Whether it cheers you up, makes you think 'omg same!' or you're just a bit nosy - I hope you enjoy reading through my list either way :)

To me happiness is:

• fast internet  

• discovering a good song

• new clothes

• summer evenings

• watching youtubers

• singing loudly in the car

• popping bubble wrap

• putting on my pyjamas at the end of the day

• knowing I don't have to wake up early the next morning

• when a song I like comes on the radio

• the smell of wet concrete after it rains

• fresh bed sheets

• discovering a good restaurant

• peeing after holding it in for a long time
