Perhaps I'm not a late-bloomer after all, perhaps I simply live my life out of order. I've had some experiences (like living abroad!) that some people never get to have, or that they might have later in life. Other things, like things you're expected to do when I teenager, I never felt the compulsion to do. Some of them I'm doing now; others I haven't quite gotten to yet.
I feel that at this moment in my life, I am very happy. It's not a new sentiment; ever since coming back home, I've been pretty consistently happy. I won't go into specifics, but it's the little things. Such as finally figuring out what I think, who I am, and liking myself and being my own best friend. Okay, those might be pretty major things.
Other small things might include routine objects and how those objects are perceived. Like having mint-flavored dental floss. It's a little luxury. Or having someone say your name out loud when they greet you.
I completely understand the joy brought by mint-flavored dental floss.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds pretty wonderful, Liz!
