.sunny sunday.

i dont believe you need a lot of material things to be happy. i agree that it can make your misery more comfortable but only to a certain extent;

being warm and crying would be a lot better than sitting outside in the cold and crying.

in saying that ive thought a lot about the personal objects that we love more than anything, they are normally small inanimate objects that we closely relate to a particular person or memory.

so really its the people in our lives that makes us happy, not the objects.

well i know this is old news, but i think we sometimes forget these simple things.

i do imagine myself living a life that involves the people i love, doing the things i love.

much like how im spending this lovely sunday afternoon.

im fortunate enough to have a semi clear sky, with the sun shinning and the birds singing.

so i sit here by the grass with my fake raybans on, a teapot of my favourite tea and a much loved magazine, in perfect bliss letting my mind wander.

as much as dreaming of an amazing house with gadgets and everything i could possibly want to fill it and make it feel like a home is something most people dream of also,

i find that my mind wanders and conjures up images of a small vintage style house, with a big coloured front door.

filled with all my prized and most loved possessions, mostly things i have been handed down from friends and family.

mismatched furniture, cushions and colour schemes, far from the organised and modernised living spaces we see pictured on television and in magazines.

i would be quiet content saving my money to spend on holidays with the ones i love, or just being able to buy small gifts that i know they would love and appreciate, rather than on fancy things that will no doubt collect dust and go 'out of fashion'.

i could drink from old (yet clean) jars instead of crystal glasses and have my everyday dishes comprise of different shapes, colours and sizes.

frames with photographs of my favourite memories lining the walls, and incense burning.

just to simply have a place that feels like home,to entertain and most importantly relax in.

where i can feel the breeze and sun on my skin and feel completely content with life.

much like i do now.

and most importantly, if the world sees fit, that i one day maybe share this life with someone important that i would call mine for the rest of my life.

to grow and change together and to experience what life has to offer.

life doesnt need to be complicated, just simply contain the things and people that make us happy and help us grow and learn through out the time where life challenges us.

love and peace. x
