Happiness is...

the feeling of warmth that emanates through my body when I lie under the rays of the sun.

Happiness is...

being loved by someone for who you are, a second time.

Happiness is...

the feeling of cool water surrounding you when your skin seems to be set on fire.

Happiness is...

dancing around a ballroom barefoot, with only yourself, and the rhythms in your head.

Happiness is...

a warm embrace on a cold winters morning.

Happiness is...

the feeling of soft, silky covers after a long day on your feet.

Happiness is...

running amidst a field of wildflowers, your dress billowing in the wind behind you, and your hair free of uncomfortable clips.

Happiness is...

the feeling of your barefeet among the grassy ground, a soft breeze carrying the sweet scent of spring.

Happiness is...

the sound of nothing around you except the whispering of the breeze.

Happiness is...

the taste of your favorite food, after a long time on an empty stomach, and the aroma as it fills your nostrils after a long time of living without it.

Happiness is...

the freedom of making decisions on your own.

Happiness is...

the feeling of a soft, loving kiss on your lips, after accepting the fact you may never feel one again.

Happiness is...

the stars that dance across your skin when you feel gentle fingertips caress your skin.

Happiness is...

looking in the mirror and finally seeing your true self for the very first time.

Happiness is...

the feeling of a smooth ring sliding onto your finger, and the knowledge that you've finally achieved the love you deserve.

Happiness is...

finally finding the sense of home everyone talks about in stories.

Happiness is...

being called beautiful like it's your name.

Happiness is...

dancing with someone you love to the melody the birds make, as the sun illuminates your skin.

Happiness is...

looking deeply into emerald eyes and allowing yourself to be lost.
