SIMPLIFY EVERYTHING

Sometimes I don't know why people aren't walking down the street beaming with happiness, jaw's on the floor in amazement at all the beautiful things around us. Today i stood under the blossoming Jasmine tree and i almost cried. It was the first time i'd seen it in bloom, i wanted to lay under there until darkness, i wanted the leaves to fall and bury me. Simplify everything. The way the clouds creep in like a murderous thief stealing sunshine but leaving us fresh summer rain. Letting us feel the safety and warmth of our houses. So fucking lucky. If only this could be it, the feeling of nothingness and everything at the same time. Feeling connected to the earth the way we should. Feeling the moistness under our feet, not running from the rain but letting it wash us away. I wish we could always feel this way, the warm glow of the bedroom, the safety of the dog lying next to me. Safety. I have it and i am lucky to know that i have it. The simplicity of happiness. If only i always knew it were so easy.
This is what it is, if i could ever explain again, this is always what i've wanted.

Simplify everything. Its the only way to be happy.
