Have you ever been so happy at one point in your life when you wish you could freeze everything? You wish you could feel that way the rest of your life.
Happiness is one emotion I would like to feel forever. I love being happy, as I hope everyone does. You feel better when you're happy,
When I'm happy I wish I could just press pause on my life.
My heart feels full, I smile for hours, I'm completely content in that one moment.
I press pause on every holiday. Every Christmas morning in my pajamas with my family when we open all the presents. I love every smile and every laugh. The reactions of every little cousin getting a new toy or a cute shirt. They're all so happy and if they aren't they really try their hardest to make a good face. when it really makes it even funnier. I try so hard to remember every second of those days.
I press pause whenever I hold my boyfriend's hand or whenever he makes me laugh. His hands are almost twice the size of mine. He'll swing my arm back and forth until my shoulder hurts, but it is so worth it. His smile freezes time and when I start to crack up he can't contain his giggles. He makes me want to freeze time forever.
I press pause whenever I ride a roller coaster. When I hug my cousins, when my family and I watch our TV shows at night when we all get home from school and work. I pause when I wear fuzzy clothes, or warm sock and eat pizza on the couch.
I pause when I face time my best friend, when she talks about how happy she is. I cherish every Snap Chat and every phone call. I freeze when she asks me for advice, because I know in that moment that she needs me just as much as I need her.
I pause every single time I drive with the windows down. Wind in my hair and the radio up. It may sound kind of cliche, but time stops in moments like those.
I think like this, every day. My mind goes straight to freezing anytime I am truly happy. And I am sure that some people have much better things to pause for. Like when they have their children, or when they graduate college, or when they win the lottery. But I pause for the little things. The windy car drives, my boyfriend's hands, my holidays with family.
I freeze. I think. I try so hard to remember. I will be happy many times in my life. I just want to make sure I will be able to remember them.
