Happy. The only way to live is happy. There's a difference between living and just being alive. Living is when you get lost in a book all-day or show up at a friend's house unannounced. Living is when you make your dad laugh and when you talk to your best friends about the things you all love for hours.Living is when you cuddle your cat and play fetch with your dogs. Living is learning and flying above your mistakes and relishing in your accomplishments. Just being alive is when your life drags on and you're just along for the ride. Just being alive is when you stay home and wallow in self pity.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not shaming anyone who's just being alive, because I'm the same way. I'm just being alive, riding my awful life into oblivion. But one day, and I hope sson, we can all LIVE for the first time.
