The Simple Life

List 30 things that make you happy.

PROSE – DAILY PROMPT /SLIGHT RANT

I read this question and begin to laugh. I can’t remember the last time I needed 30 things to make me happy. I’ve overheard conservation dealing with this subject, where the overall opinion if you couldn’t name a certain ridiculous number things you weren’t a happy person.

As I walked away, feeling joy for dodging a bullet. Being assimilated into the Borg, has been a goal of mine. Yet, I knew I couldn’t name the required amount of things. What did this say about me? Am I not a happy person?

Okay, I admit I’m a bit of a frowner, but come on! A sad sack?

So I came up with a list for various topics I’ve heard people talking about.

  • Top 5 Jobs regardless of the time period
  • The 5 Best Albums of 1973
  • Top 5 Tombstone inscriptions

Yes, I know those list are ridiculous, however there was a time in my life where I considered these might important to know at some point. Yet, I find them no more than zany than needing 30 items that make you happy. I concede it appears to avoiding the question for some reason. I’m not I assure you.

  • Life – appreciating all the things has to offer and doing my best to wisdom from them.
  • Love – isn’t there a song explaining this one
  • Music – One of the magnificent about life is music.
  • A good pen – There are few things better than a good pen. Yes, I have a preferred rotation of writing instruments fitting this criteria.
  • A proper notebook – This has proven time and time again more difficult than it should. Due to this, I make my own.
    • Spiral so it will lay flat.
    • Hard cover at least on the back
    • 28lbs paper preferred, 24 lbs in a pinch.

Now, I’m aware that 28lbs paper officially makes me bougie. Whatever.

I live a simple, a few frills life. Or at least these are things the things I tell myself as attempt justifying to myself the expensive of a new piece of tech.
