Happiness is a Warm Gun

My Dearest Secret,

     I've been thinking about happiness lately, and what I think would make me happy, and honestly, I don't know the answer to that thought. I wish we could talk about it, I wish you could smile at me right now. I think I'm just looking for someone to make decisions for me, which is why you are so perfect for me, because you will always make me realize how strong I am, and that the decisions I make are the right ones, without ever allowing me to be weak by making those choices for me. Someday I know that all my patience has been worth it. Someday you will look at me the way I look at you.

Until then, I will be forever dazzled by the light of your life

- Your best friend.

hello my secret,

I seem to have fallen more inlove with you today than I have before. 


forever yours,

Saying Yes.

I try not to say no very often, especially if saying yes won't set me back in anyway, and the feeling you get when you do something small for someone is so peaceful. 

Today it hit me that something I consider to be a small gesture can be so big to someone that it makes their day. Like a smile or a wave to someone who let you cross the road, or saying good morning and thank you to a bus driver. 

I have a pretty good life, although it doesn't feel like it sometimes, and sharing my happiness with people just by simply saying yes just makes it that much better. I have the ability to yes yes 98 percent of the time that someone asks something of me, and 97 percent of the time I take the chance to do what I am asked. 

I wish there were more like us, that do these small things. I wish everyone could feel the good feelings that I feel.

Domestic Violence.

I just called the cops on my next door neighbours.


Although I'm nervous of the outcome, I think it was the best thing I have ever done. 

Domestic violence makes me very uncomfortable, as I'm sure it does to most people, and my heart breaks for women AND men who have to go through violence in their own home by someone who is supposed to love and protect them.

To top it all off, a dog was involved.
    I know that not everyone likes animals, but you don't kick a dog because you're mad at your spouse and the dog is obviously trying to protect one or the other. A misbehaved dog cannot take all the responsibility for how it acts, it is also the fault of the owners.


I never want to be in the position that I would have to deal with or be a part of domestic violence. I understand how hard it must be for someone in the position and have no idea what to do.


I really hope that my acts to help do not make it worse for anyone. That dog needs a better home and the couple needs serious help.

Float On

     How many times have we all felt that enough is enough, that trying is no longer an option and that you are giving up entirely on what is known as "life"? Honestly, I know I have felt that way many times and don't see those feelings ending anytime soon. Those feelings are hard to control. Sometimes they take you off guard, creep up on you and then *SLAP* "SURPRISE!"..... But there is something that we can do about the aftermath that comes along with these feelings.

    Have you ever looked to the sky when a young child has mistakenly let go of their balloon, and watch it float up and up until you can no long see it? Even though I know that somewhere a child is heartbroken and crying, I relish in the thought of where that balloon will end up and feel a sensation of relief and wonder so deep that I never want it to end.

     Fortunately for me, I have found a way to keep that feeling when I need it most, and that is when I feel like the bottomless pit that is negativity has trapped me and is holding on very tight. When things feel bad, I imagine that all of my negative feelings are being put into a balloon, much like helium. Most times the balloon grows bigger and bigger, always close to bursting but never does. When I get to the point of no return, I let the balloon go from my tight grasp. I watch it float away, and hold onto those amazing feelings of relief and wonder as I float, just for a second, with no negative feelings inside my heart.
