Life. Full of warmth, success, and acceptance. Staying up til dawn and watching the sun rise, experiencing life at its finest. Calling friends, making plans and listening to music as the day ends, this is what life gave us. Hanging at prospect park, a dark blanket, sitting, eating all types of lunch that makes us happy, breathing the fresh air, laying, watching the white and grey puffs in the blue sky glide by. My eyes shut slowly until darkness puts me in a calm mindset, waking up with the sunset. 32nd street, with friends, walking into H-mart excitedly, heading to the snack section and picking up my happy snacks, paying and watching as the busy streets fly by me as if I was stuck in time.

Dreadful rain, heading to BM5 bus that is heading to Manhattan, walking in Muji with my best friends, admiring the beauty of the simplicity inside and picking up supplies, starting a new chapter in my life. Seeing an interesting character, best friends hyping me up while we eat, and giving my Instagram away as I shyly talk with this interesting character, happy as I walk away because it was my first time talking to an individual that wasn’t in the same vicinity as me, hence, leading to having a new friend.

Life may shrink me at times, but it pushes me to elevate. I experience things that make me feel weak but nun that a few individuals experience. I see that they are happy and content with life as they experience it, and I see my life, thinking about what makes me stressed. I realize, it isn’t anywhere near a few individual’s experiences. I just have to breathe, smile and think about what makes me feel my best. Happiness helped change my mindset, helped me realize life isn’t all negatives but its precious in every aspect.
