The Little Things in Life

[Its a Plant]

I thought there was a thread like this, but it is still hiding from me, so anyways . .

What little, seemingly insignificant things do you value in your life? What lets you know you're REALLY alive?

For me, I love that first rush of fresh air after getting out of class. The feeling of being free mixed with the fresh air just does something to me I guess.

The smell of a cold winter day just as I wake up. Everything smells so clean, pure. Top that off with some snow and I might never leave the house =)

Or the way the leaves blow in every direction after a car passes over them. Again, it's the freedom of it all.

Or those late-night conversations when it's just the two of you, talking about everything. Those let me know I'm truly ALIVE. Haven't had one in a while, but the last one left a smile on my face for a few days. Those deep connections in conversation are few and far between it seems, but hey, don't lose HOPE.

So how 'bout all of you? ~

I love the smell after it's rained... a refreshing kind of piney smell, smelling that stoned is probably my ultimate thing to do. I dunno what it is... but damn, it's amazing.

And wildlife, i love seeing birds and animals going about their daily business while im watching... stoned as fuck. It's like im with them... it's crazy, and a tad hard to explain, but the simplest things make me feel good, and give me a reason to stay around..

when im walking up hill for hours
muscles burn with pain,
sweat dripping down my face
chest heaving from shortness of breath
then all of a sudden
im on the mountain top
looking down on the birds and clouds
and the ugly dirty city below

i like that

My most valued thing in the World would have to be myself. I just couldn't or wouldn't want to be anyone else. I also like to watch otters fuck about.

I love waking up with my boyfriend snuggling me in his sleep. It is so perfect and peaceful, I was just thinking yesterday..how that is one of my favorite things in the whole world. Being half asleep and just feeling his warm body..just knowing that he really loves me for me...and that it is just so amazing to have that. Really I know I sound stupid..but I just can't begin to explain how great it is...to just have that. I never thought that I would have something like that. Have a best friend like him...

Other things that make me happy....the nature, god I love the nature! Nothing can make me feel more at peace than being out in the middle of nowhere where all I can hear is the wind...smokin' that fat bowl while lookin' out at all the beautiful green scenery...thats the best....just being away from it all.

Also..animals make me happy..and little kids. Just that wonderful innocence and ignorance...it's so amazing! How they just have nothing but love and want nothing but love.

Also...my family makes me happy, I am so lucky to have such a great family...my mother is my hero, shes the most amazing person I know...shes my best friend. I only hope to be at least half as strong as she is someday...

Also..my best friend..I value her passion! She is amazing and has so much passion in her life that I know shes going places. I feel so lucky to have such an awesome friend as my best friend..sure, we are really different...but thats what I love about her...she does what she wants and has a great time and is successful at what she does. She is going to go far in life.

I also value another good friend of mine..who has taught me so much about myself. She is one of the strongest people I have ever met..and has a good head on her shoulders. She found me and made herself my friend, and I can't thank her enough for it...she is always there for me with some for of rational that always makes me feel better. Even when he brother commited suicide, I have never seen someone deal with something so well...she was the back bone for everyone.

I could go on for days about things I value....because I value a lot..I may not always show it...but I do...

Nah, you don't sound stupid.

You sound lucky.

Nah, you don't sound stupid.

You sound lucky.

I feel lucky. Everyday.

- Rain. In San Diego, it's beautiful, sunny, and 75-85˚ eight months out of the year. It's not that I don't appreciate living in one of the most wonderful climates in the world, but somehow, it makes me appreciate the beautiful, lively cleanliness of rain. It's been drizzling on and off all day today, for the first time in a long time, and sitting outside, breathing the crisp, clean air and watching the water fall is incredible and harmonious, somehow.

- My younger brother. We've only recently become close, but it's fascinating to talk to him, to see how alike we are and yet how different.

- Random kindness. Harmony. Despite the hatred we're currently drowning in, love and peace have not abandoned us, not yet.

- Johann Sebastien Bach. Mozart. Beethoven. Vivaldi.

- David Gilmour. John Lennon. Neil Young.

Yes...Neil Young <3. Random Kindness, that is a great thing to value....and that is cool about your brother. I wish I had some siblings..that I knew of.

I am liking this thread.
