Especially when exams keep closing in I'll get random panicky moments wishing someone would just run over me and spare me the feelings of hopelessness, the random screams when I realise I'm way too far behind and the beating of my head against the desk for being an imbecille.
Yet, there are always things worth living for. And no, I'm not speaking about the normal stuff; friends, and family and LOVE and PEACE FOR ALL.
This is just a very honest and somewhat random list of what frequently makes me think 'damn' it's good to be alive.
5. Cocoa (Hot Chocolate) on a day where cold reached 'hell freezes over' kind of cold
Hot Chocolate is just amazing all on its own, but when the temperature outside (from which you just came, most likely, considering the world likes to hate on you and the coldest days are always the ones where you simply cannot stay inside and mock from a safe distance) is simply out of this world. May also be mixed with one, several or all of the next items: a fire place, books, a blanket, a movie, MSN (might as well be social, right?) and other people.
4. The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
Perhaps a very personal point from my own experience. There is hardly anything that reminds me more about how extraordinary the world and its strange quirks really are than the Northern Lights. I suspect this is the profound portion of this journal entry, cause what I'm about to say is that there really is something about walking outside in the dark while the green light literally dances across the sky. Pictures can never do it justice; and I'd be as bold as to say videos don't either. It has to be experienced. You have to be there, see it flicker, move, grow and decrease, intensify and then eventually disappear. It is truly one of the most beautiful things I know.
3. A gutshaking laugh
And I'm not thinking about the odd chuckle, or the appreciative 5-second laugh. I'm talking about the 'double over, clinging onto your friend to keep standing upright, wheezing uncomfortably from lack of air, stomach hurting, tears streaming, 'cannot take another breath, suffocating from the constant muscle work', full-blown work out' - kind. If this laugh appeared at random, for not apparant reason what so ever it is eeeven better.
2. MusicIt makes you shake your booty, tap your foot, hang your head, think about profound thoughts of life, cry, smile, jump. Nothing controls the mood like music does, and it's wonderfully unique; no one reacts to the same songs the exact same ways. So when I hear that gituar riff that makes me go 'HOW DID I EVER LIVE WITHOUT THIS?' and leaves my stomach in an upproar of euphoria, there's no way in hell I'd leave this earth. I'd fight tooth and nail if Mr. Death came for me a bit too early. SHOO, I say!
1. Harry Potter
No honestly. I am not joking. What would our modern day be without the phenomenon of Harry Potter? Yes, we would probably have been spared from Emma Watson's 'eyebrows gone wild', but we would all be oblivious to the world that goes beyond our own! There'd be no connection between us; whether you're a crazed fan online writing fanfiction until your hands bleed, an avid book reader getting in line for a midnight launch, a head-shaking bystander enthusiastically debating how much of a loser these rabid fans are or a conservative christian ready to whipe out anything even remotely interesting from the face of the earth. The world can hereby be devided into three specific parts:
Those who love Harry Potter
Those who don't
And those who have wasted their lives refusing to open the books or watch the movies, living a life in horrific oblivion.
And lets face it... we wouldn't want to miss the dear souls who, for once in their life, comes upon an owl and runs after it screaming for it to come back with their Hogwarts letter.
:D
Happy living!
