My friend, who shall remain unnamed, is obsessed with listening to Adele’s new song “Hello”. He actually listens to it off of my blog, to save the steps of opening it up in YouTube. This means that the original post, which was meant to dissuade him from his addiction, is actually an enabler.

So this post is just for him. STOP IT. Stop listening to sad songs!

Every day that we have on earth, every day that we wake up warm and secure, every day that we have food to eat and a roof over our head, every day that we have jobs, and family, and friends, each and every one of those days are beautiful. And happy. It is up to us as individuals to make our own happiness. Not to rely on others. Our lives are what we make them. I chose to try and be happy. I listen to happy music. If that means I look at life through rose colored glasses, then so be it. I’m happy in my pink haze.

Switch songs! I offer you this one to listen to instead, which is part of my personal morning play list, and starts my day with a smile.

“You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow”
