2019


I am walking down a street in a tiny town in France

It has been about 3 months since the divorce

The sun was out and the wind is blowing lightly


I have nothing in particular happening on the day

I have nothing in particular to be happy about

…yet I am so happy

I'm so fucking happy!

My heart feels like it will burst with joy...

After years and years of misery and despondency...

I finally feel none of it - and I feel joy



I didn’t know it was possible to be so happy

Why did nobody tell me it was possible to be this happy?

I wouldn’t have put up with misery for so long if I knew….


I have nothing in particular to happy about

Yet - today - I'm the happiest person alive!



In picture: The exact street where the above thoughts took place.
