Chapter Forty-Eight: Happiness?
Hadley
Happiness has a way of sneaking up on us. I don’t realize how much I’ve been smiling, how I laugh more easily, I say yes without even thinking of no, because negativity is a thing of my past.
Someone I work with told me today that I look younger than I have in years. I look like I’m enjoying life, and whatever’s been holding me back for the last little bit, she hopes it’s gone, because I act like a completely different person.
She’s right. I didn’t realize how much I was holding in to keep myself together. Now that I have someone to share in my thoughts, my hopes, my fears, my desires, and my dreams, it’s made things easier. There’s no longer a burden I feel I carry on my own.
