LITTLE POCKETS OF HAPPINESS

Little pockets of happiness can sometimes be found in a bottle. Brown liquor, straight, no ice, suddenly everything becomes bright and wonderful. 

At times I find it in a good movie, the noise drifts away as I dive deep in till I catch myself laughing, expressing unforeseen glee. 

My palates can testify to finding it in sweet exquisite delicacies, dishes that caress my taste buds into blissful utopia.

I sometimes find it in music. Listening to carefully curated melodies makes me soar to worlds unknown. Such a sensuous prize for miseries endured.

I won’t forget to mention the exhilaration that comes from aimlessly scrolling the internet, millions of content seeking to gain just a pinch of my attention, all for my viewing pleasure. And for that moment, I experience the thrill of doing nothing. 

These little pockets of happiness colour my life in their uniquely satisfying ways, but are nothing compared to the joy of loving and being loved. 

That is a blessing that fuels my soul and I cherish it so dearly.
