My 2012 wish :)

I have only one wish for myself for 2012, and it is basically the only wish I ever make: To be happy with whatever I choose to do.

So far in my life this has come true. Yes, I have my moments, like the night before last, and I had a good cry before I went to sleep while listening to Evanescence, and it helped me feel better. But most of the time I am very very happy.

I have found that I am most happy when I am with my Mum in the car driving at night. I love the look of the lights when I don't have my glasses on. My eyes aren't that bad, but I need them for reading stuff that's further away. So in the dark without them I see blurred lights and I just wish my camera could capture it the way I see it.

I love the way the light stretches when my eyes go out of focus, and how they light up the river we go past, or the lake near my Nana's house. I love how the clouds are darker than the sky at night, and how the stars light up the sky. I love seeing the moon when half of it is covered by clouds, and how the world lights up that little bit more when it emerges from behind them :)

I love the city I live in and how it shines with life and love after all we've been through together, and how the people smile as you walk or drive past. It's the little things like that which help the world move on.

I love being in a safe place, and being happy there. I just love the beauty in everything. The thing I love the absolute most, though, is the fact that I can appreciate these things. I can't imagine seeing the world any other way, and yet I know other people do. I'm so thankful for my world and my sight and my happiness.

My wish comes true almost every day, and it comes from both inside and out.

I have one other wish, and I want to give it to you :)

I'm not talking about anyone in particular, just anyone reading this.

I want you to be happy.

Some people won't be happy reading this, and probably wish they hadn't read it now, but that's ok. For some people, happiness is sadness. I know, I used to feel that way. Sadness is safe because it can't get worse. I understand that, and if that's what you want then I hope you feel safe :)

For others happiness is dependent on others. I hope you get your happiness too.

Whatever it is that is "Happiness" for you, I hope it comes into your life when you need it and stays with you.

Happy new year everyone :) Good luck in 2012 and the years to come :)
