things that make me happy...
see, when i write it's always an outlet to vent my frustrations or something rather depressing - because when i'm happy, i just am and i'd rather internalise it or tell it to whomever happens to be there.
but today, i'm happy. actually, i've been happy for a while now. and i want to talk about the things that made (and making) me happy.
on the 100th day of my mum's passing, i cut my hair... real short. i got it highlighted as well, i think with 3 colours. it made me happy. i'm told i look 15 now. nevertheless, i wasn't carded when buying cigarettes. while i was getting it cut, it did make me wonder if it would affect my balance in any way. think it may have, but my soul felt lighter.
we shouldn't underestimate how a simple, sincere apology can affect any relationship. my dad's apology went a very long way. since then, our relationship has made a complete turnaround. frustrations still exist, but i feel lighter working with him. it doesn't mean i've decided to stay at his company. i just have my reasons for sticking around. the only difference is i'm still at his company not because of him, but because of me.
Extended families are important in life... jc got married recently and i was very happy for him - particularly on his wedding day. today i'm at his place and it doesn't feel any different from before. well, there's a little bit of a difference, but nothing drastic that doesn't make me feel unwelcome at his place in any way.
last but not least, FOOD! Good, home-cooked, food... :)
