or sometimes outside the shower

#19: 10 seconds


3-4 weeks ago, I asked myself if I was happy.  2 hours ago, I asked myself why don't I have the habit of bringing in an umbrella.  A minute before I left my house, I wondered why I'm fine having no umbrella despite the bi-polar weather. 5 minutes before the mass ended, the rain poured like hell.  1 minute before the mass ended, I had a plan to run for my life.  2 blocks away, there is my car.  10 second sprint under the pouring rain.

And just like that, I had the answers to my questions.  Firstly, I am genuinely happy...and I am, even if I don't expect myself to be.  And secondly, because it's simply just more fun to have no umbrella.

I don't know if I suddenly just felt like a child again, giggling under the pouring rain.  Or was it just a good day.  Or it was God's grace I literally felt for the first time.  Maybe it's all the above.  I suddenly feel so lucky.

I love everything about my life now.  My friends.  My work.  However crazy my father is.  My mother.  My family. My weight (I gained 4 pounds).  My music.  My enthusiasm. My TV.  The stories.  Everything.
