I hope your tea is the perfect colour, that the ratio of sugar to milk is just the way you like it. When you sit on your bed and look out the window, I hope you catch the winter sun setting, just in time to watch the oranges and reds explode along the horizon. Maybe, just maybe, it’ll even be quiet. So you can enjoy the serenity that carries you into another winter night. I hope when you submerge yourself in duvets and cuddle up on the sofa that the warmth is just right. When you turn the television on, it’s already on your favourite show. But most of all, I hope you’ll be happy.
I hope that have best friends that make your stomach hurt from laughing too much. People that know whether you need another shot of vodka, or just another cup of coffee and a Christmas movie. I hope you kept in touch with your old friends, the ones that helped define who you were. When you look back I hope you smile with anticipation because you’ll be seeing them soon. And if you didn’t, I hope you look back and remember them for all the amazing times you had. Remember them for that time they threw up on your trousers and you hated them for a week, remember them for those celebratory hugs when you achieved your very best, remember them for the cold, early mornings they made you smile and the dark, dreary nights they drove you home. I hope you surround yourself with people that make you a better person, that make you feel like you are a part of something greater than life itself. But most of all, I hope you’ll be happy.
I hope you are throwing yourself into something that you love. That every day, you approach work or education with excitement and an open-mind. To know each and every time you do this, you are one step closer to being able to achieve your ambitions. I hope on the days where you were too late to eat breakfast, or your hair didn’t go quite right that you remember when you were 10. The days when teachers would ask you what you wanted to be and with that same eagerness and naivety I hope you aim to reach your goals. When you’re about to try something new or absolutely crazy, I hope you don’t hesitate. But if you do, I hope you only use the time to appreciate how short life is. But most of all, I hope you’ll be happy.
I hope you don’t care what people say or think. Such words and thoughts can only go so far when we don’t reciprocate. Perhaps you’ll even look back one day and laugh because such immaturities only pushed you one step closer to the happy life you’re living today. I hope lost friendships and loves were a result of you letting go, knowing it was the right thing to do – not the only thing to do. I hope your flaws become your best friends. And for all the years you spent hating them, someone will make up for by loving them. I hope the past can stay in the past, and you can confidently live in the present. But most of all, I hope you’ll be happy.
I hope you find someone that believes you are the sunrise and sunset. Someone that knows how to make your perfect cup of tea, someone who accepts every guilty pleasure and habit, someone your pets will approve of. I hope when its 1am in the morning and you’ve ran out of coins on your favourite app, they’ll download it just to send your more. I hope when it’s 4am and you can’t sleep, they’ll wake up to keep you company. I hope when you need to find yourself, they’ll give you the time and space to do it. And I hope when you’re ready, you’ll fall madly and completely in love – just to live life a little dangerously. But most of all, I hope you’ll be happy.
I hope you read this blog and it opened up your mind and heart. I hope it made you realise that life sometimes can be about the small things. That perhaps we don’t have a lot of time after all. That to truly be happy, we have the power to surround ourselves with these small, but powerful instruments. So, grab yourself that perfect cup of tea and join me. Sit by your windows and look out in the midnight sky, hope the night with be empty, so the serenity can carry you into the early hours. Look over your life and truly appreciate all the things you have, despite anything you don’t – for those do not matter. I hope you find everything you’re looking for…and most of all, I hope you’ll be happy.
Go nuts guys.
