Listen—whatever it is that makes you wake up, whatever
it is that makes you feel a moment of peace or
a glimmer of hope, just keep it close. Please, live for
it. Make sure that you focus on it. Make sure that
you make time for it. I don’t care what it is. You have
to understand that happiness does not have to be
this big all-consuming thing. Sometimes happiness
is your morning cup of coffee. Sometimes it is the
smell in the street after it rains, or your favorite song
played on repeat for three hours straight. Sometimes
happiness is your friend’s laughter or the way the sky
looks through the trees in your favorite park. If it
keeps you going, if it ignited something within you,
it doesn’t matter how small or grand it is. Just hold
on to it. Let it save you.
