Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?
My life right now is super simple, tidy, small, uncomplicated and uneventfully predictable.
It might even be a little bit boring by some people's standards.
I don't give a fiddler's fuck about some people's standards.
I haven't felt this happy, this content, in a long, long while.
Maybe it's just the anti-depressants talking. Or maybe it's the fact that I'm routinely getting good sleep on a regular basis.
Whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
I'm happy.
But the even more remarkable thing is that I'm happy being happy.
But the even more remarkable thing is that I'm happy being happy.
And that, my friends, is the really good life.
