And so many other things has happened during this year!!! It's been a really good year. I haven't been this happy for as long as I remember. I've moved so much personally and mentally, I feel like a new person. My mental illness doesn't control my life any more, it's still a part of my life, but I'm in control. Just ugh, I could cry with how happy I am!!!

The little things

Buying flowers for yourself. Making your favourite meal. Nice fruits on offer. Getting a package you've been waiting for in the mail. Someone buying you a small gift because they thought of you. Taking your bra off after a long day. That feeling of freshness after you brushed your teeth. A kiss from a cute dog. Clothes fresh from the dryer. Finally organising that folder you've been meaning to for ages. Finding the missing sock. Watching the clock go 11:11:11. Having just the right amount of money on hand for your groceries. The smell of old books. Fitting perfectly on your love's chest. Remembering someone's special day without the use of calenders on phones. Getting offered the last piece of cake. Feeling the cold rain on your feet. Fresh and clean sheets on your bed. Thinking of someone and then getting a message from them short after. The sound of opening a bar of chocolate. Kittens wanting to play with your hair. Finishing a good book. Looking through old photo albums. Re-watching shows you loved as a child. Strangers smiling at you. Kind bus drivers. Writing with your favourite pen. Hot beverages on a cold day. Someone asking how you are and being generally interested. Picking up the last of an item you wanted in a shop. The pretty evening sky. Being offered a seat on the train. Being on time for appointments. Giving your room a good tidy. Finally throwing out/donating the things you really don't need. Newly done nails. Putting on new PJs. Finding something you lost a while ago. The smell of freshly cut grass. Catching up with friends. Sleeping in. Stealing the duvet from your love. Being right about something. Sneezing after it being stuck for a bit.
