A few weeks ago I compiled a list of 25 things that make me happy. I’m not in the happiest of moods currently, so I’m creating a sequel in an effort to cheer myself up.

1. Music – the only thing that I know absolutely makes the world a better place.
2. The sore dents I get on my fingertips after playing guitar for too long.
3. Singing harmonies.
4. Hugs – good, wholesome, all-encompassing hugs.
5. Seeing my friends succeed.
6. Having good hair days.
7. Being proud of something.
8. Going a week without biting my nails.
9. Eating passion fruit.
10. Being able to sleep in, for once.
11. Having my driver’s permit (and the bragging rights that come with it).
12. The times when I feel pretty.
13. How silence isn’t uncomfortable with my closest friends.
14. Tea tree oil.
15. Getting buried in sand at the beach with only my head sticking out, and the sand that covers my body being carved into a mermaid.

    

16. Laughing until tears come out of my eyes.
17. Finding the perfect tree for climbing.
18. Climbing said tree.
19. Being barefoot.
20. The satisfaction of overlooking a valley after hiking all the way up it.
21. How my nose gets red when it’s really cold out, and I can see my breath in the air.
22. Being so hot that I can feel the sweat evaporating off of my skin.
23. The comfort of a cool breeze in the summertime (the best feeling in the world).
24. Grass coming back after the fire.
25. Peeling a tangerine in a perfect spiral.
